Don't look now folks, but Fred just may run for the Presidency !!
This guy is as 'clean and articulate' as they come . . . . . so what do the Democratic Voters think about him ?
And my brethren Republican Voters are welcome to chime in as well !!!

His guest spot address on Paul Harvey yesterday was so brilliant. He definitely separated himself from McCain and even used the term "plain talk":

Another good one about anti-war sentiment from the Democrats:

I am very optimistic about the guy. I have answered the same on other questions and here it is:
Conservatives - let me know if I should not be so enthused by his stances. He seems to be Newt without the political black eye and Huckabee with more name recognition. I was getting anxious that our front runners weren't Reaganesque enough for me.

I don´t know much about him. He does seem smarter than Bush, but then anyone would.
He has a voting record, and I´m sure that will come out in time. Then we will know more about him.
Actually I have been a Republican for many years, but since the Religious Right has taken over the party I´ve become more of a Democrat. The New Republicans seem to be more Old Testament Law. While Democrats seem to follow more the teachings of Jesus.

i don't think that I want Thompson yet i will want extra time to make up my strategies. I nonetheless might desire to hearken to his point of view on coaching, social risk-free practices, medicare/Medicaid, unlawful immigration, the conflict, terrorists, and so on. and so on. i understand the place different GOP applicants stand (a minimum of maximum of them) yet Thompson remains an unknown. besides, i'm not by using interpreting the Democratic applicants. I have no occasion association so i can vote for absolutely everyone that i think is the main magnificent individual for the interest.

You know just as well as I do......FEAR. This guy played them like an old flute. Mellow but loud. The libs can get ready for 8 more years of a republican president and if they don't keep all those promises that they made before the last election (house and senate) they will lose control of that and.....look out!
for mr. pink hair....there is not a republican anywhere that would let that traitor FDR represent the GOP. He betrayed America during WWII and we all know it now. We should have buried him in Moscow, that is where his heart was.

If Mr. Thompson is serious he better get cracking. He has to raise almost a billion dollars and gain name recognition before the primaries early next year. I for one, have heard his name, mostly on YA and no where else. If he is like Reagan I'll pass on voting for him. If he is truly an independent thinker not conforming to the neocons who are currently in charge of the Republican Party I might consider him.
I honestly hate to burst your bubble of hope, but I think he has the chance of an ice cube in hell of getting the nomination let alone elected.

He is an actor. Ronald Reagan was an actor. Thompson is a politician. Ronald Reagan was a politician. Thompson is conservative in his views. Ronald Reagan was conservative in his views. He is an actor who aspires to be president and thinks much like Reagan did. The only problem is that he is not well known outside the South.

With the 2008 campaign for president starting so early I think he just may have a grass roots effort to bring him out later this year. It could be very successful.
However with the primaries bunched together it could hurt this effort also.

I like Fred Thompson as a person, but honestly don't know a whole lot about his political career.
Norm, I think you are getting us confused with the Limbaugh followers.

I admittedly went to ontheisssues.org to search his voting record - his campaign website may have more detailed info once it exists. However, I didn't find it to be unique. His record seemed to be right of Guliani, and generally the same as or to the right of McCain. Obviously if one agrees with him, that's their choice. However, I'm really more interested in personal freedoms and limited government power than his record suggests. I wish him well in whatever he decides, but it would take someone with a record more progressive than his to get my support in the general election.

He seems like he very much deserves a second look. Or a first one, for that matter!
Something in me hopes that BOTH parties end up picking NONE of these super-early candidates. Let's teach them a lesson, and let's get back to a sensible one-year campaign season from now on.
I can dream, can't I? :)
