When you mention Fred Thompson the only thing they can say is he is an actor. is that the best dirt they can get on him?
some compare him to Reagan like that should be an insult, that is one of the greatest compiment he can recieve is to be compared to the best president we have ever had.

I'd say that Reagan was one of the best. We need someone who will stand tough on border security, tax cuts, and the war on radical Islam. I agree with 90 percent of W's policies. The only two things he is soft on is cutting government spending, and this illegal immigration bill. Wonder why we don't just try enforcing the laws we already have? Mr. Thompson seems to be right on these issues.

Regan was not the greatest President , yes he did some good things but that doesnt make him the greatest . Fred Tompson is an interesting man , personally I like the man but hate how he just answers using talking points . He is a very bright man and if he gets out of this , he might have a real chance of being President . As for him being an actor well honestly I don't really care .

Wow not many Democrats saying anything, mostly just folk who have never listened to a word from a Democrat, and wouldn't know a Democratic thought if they tripped over it.
Thompson gave the perfect speech laying out everything the Gang Of Pirates are thinking no matter what they say. He was playing a crooked white power preacher about to be arrested for a hate crime, but you could tell it was from the heart. All his other characters seem wooden by comparison.
The show was yanked off the air as soon as he announced he would play the part for real, and buried so deep it may not be found. If it is you can bet it will be all over YouTube, but found or not, I get a replay every time I seem him acting in fake stories or real ones.
But Democrats don't need to swiftboat anyone to show that the Gang Of Pirates are just that. Just being a member of the Republican leadership saddles you with the tsunami of deliberate incompetence, and competent looting, and burning of everything good about America. It will take generations to rebuild.
They are all now and forever Bush Leagues.

Drinking on a Sunday morning, what a shame.
Tell me, friend, what makes Thompson so great?
Seriously. Have you even heard about his financial plan using the Mellon theory? Yessir, Mr. Thompson thinks we should use the same plan that triggered the depression.
Absolutely. Lets get another underqualified actor in the whitehouse. And have another round while you're at it.
NOT.

I don't know that Reagan was the best President we ever had. He was just such a vast improvement to the Carter Administration that it seems that way. I don't think Fred Thompson will make the cut either. I'd like to see Colin Powell run.

Because most Americans don't trust actors to run things and Fred is potentially a huge threat to the democrats in '08.
Most in the Washington jet set think if your not a lawyer or a financial consultant that you can't form effective policy in Washington. We need more common everyday Americans in Washingtion.. It's time we fire them all each and every one of them.

Saying he's an "actor" is relating to the republican reaction to the Hollywood group having political views and using their celebrity as a forum. I guess republican "Hollywood" is allowed an opinion. Democrat "Hollywood" is not without complete outrage.

Why do the Repubs want another Reagan? Oh I forgot he single handily ended the cold war ....... LOL ....... that is one of the Repubs favorite myths. If Fred Thompson is the best the Repubs have, then November elections will be a slaughter for the Dems. Hillary, Edwards, Obama, any one of them would destroy poor Fred.

For the same reason that Dan Quayle's misspelling of potato becomes legendary, while Hillary Clinton can appear lecturing in front of a huge sign that misspells "tomorrow" (with 2 m's). It is the primary function of the liberal media to aggrandize the Dem candidates and smear the Rep candidates.
