The only reason Fred is even hovering around without jumping into the fray, is in case "their" top lackeys, Rudolph and McCain, get knocked out for one reason or another.

When I look at Thompson, I hear him saying, " look at this Buick right here! It's got just 5,000 miles on the odometer, little ol' lady only took it out of the garage on Sundays, it's a real beauty! What?! Paint doesn't match on the fender? I think that must be a trick of the light, this car is good as new. No, that oil stain there, is from another car, we moved them around this morning...."
Then you take a look at the stuff he's voted for against the instructions of the Constitution.....
I wouldn't buy a used car from him, I don't want him as my president.
Don't complain when Billary or Osama cram gun control down our throats, Thompson would be far less of a threat when it comes down to that. How could anyone just "accept" a Hillary or Obama presidency? Good god!
If either one of those two get in, kiss your guns bye-bye. Taxes will go up 30%, socialized medicine, nanny state govt to the extreme. Enjoy!
Me, I'll take Fred Thompson over that alternative.
I have a hard time grasping the concept of "I don't like any of the GOP candidates, so I'll just sit it out and give the white house to Osama or Billary. Great strategy.
My choice is Ron Paul. If Ron Paul does not make it past the primaries, then I will be voting for the Libertarian Party candidate.
Same, I am voting my consious, not what is politically expedient, I dont care if its idealist.
agree completelyOnce a party loses due to a significant shift in voting for a third party, they will, as is the natural order of politics these days, shift towards that third party's platform in order to regain those votes and hopefully pick up some new ones along the way. Left unchecked and being continuously supported simply because of party-line voters, each party will continue along a path that grants them more power and less liberty for the common person.
want to get a Democrat in office.3/4 of these Ron Paul supporters.

Ok, I found a Fred Forum for the Fred Guys....
Ron Paul's a great guy and all, but so was Ross Perot. Bill Clinton couldn't have asked for better help.
There is no way a vote for Paul will help the Democrat.
Do you not understand how the political process works?
Most importantly, an unelectable nut.
No?
Look, bud, no matter what we here on THR or who vote in GOP primaries think, I think there are a lot of independents and a heck of a lot of Dems who want the WH to move LEFTward, not rightward.
There are also a lot of middle-roaders and even right-wingers who consider Ron Paul a nut. A nut with good ideas, yes, whose heart is in the right place, sure, and who probably has the Constitution printed on his wallpaper (for all I know) – but still a nut.

Yes, I understand it just fine. Remember 1964, Mister Barone?
