Fred Thompson is a senior analyst for ABC News Radio and a substitute host for the legendary Paul Harvey - yet another right wing ideologue talk show - on which Thompson savaged the White House immigration proposal in a commentary last week. "A nation without secure borders will not long be a sovereign nation," he said. "No matter how much lipstick Washington tries to slap onto this legislative pig, it's not going to win any beauty contests."
...just ask a detained “enemy combatant” if you doubt me. Due process is a legal concept unknown to this genre of demagogue.
He is a genuflecting ideologue on Roe v. Wade. Sort of a Jerry Falwell after church. In short, he’ll not need to count on my vote in ‘08.

First of all Mr White, they're ALL actors, aren't they? Fred has a different style about him and actually tells you what he thinks and why. [Edited by Don W]
Secondly, Paul Harvey is no ideologue. Nothing I've ever heard personally (just a 5 min noon time thing for years) suggests that.
Fred Thompson and every other American with his own head screwed on correctly has been savaging the Immigration plan!
I'm not asking any enemy combatants anything man. You act like they should be considered POWs. Or better yet, American Citizens? PS- Millions of Americans agree with me.
If you mean he's pro-life, you're right.
It's just one reason I'm happy to see he's running. See, now I can vote without having to compromise one of my principals to keep someone who hates all of my standards out of office . .

I'm definitely leaning towards Fred Thompson right now. I'm curious, if you are not going to vote for Thompson, which Republican candidate are you leaning towards? [Edited by Don W]

This article compares a Fred Thompson campaign to the Wes Clark campaign . . The anticipation is fun to watch . . [Edited by Don W]
Fred Thompson is to the Republicans in ’08 as Wes Clark was to the Democrats in ’04 . . In other words, the highpoint of his campaign will be the day he gets in the race, because once he’s a serious candidate - and not just the fevered daydream of a dissatisfied base - voters will realize he’s not all that.

I don't think you understand why I like Fred so much. It's because I would HATE to be forced to vote for Giuliani. Giuliani is not conservative. I don't care about "Republican" like I care about "Conservative." Enter Fred Thompson - on top of the ticket! [Edited by Don W]

I don't care about "Republican" like I care about "conservative." I believe liberal policies and standards will be the end of this great nation . . “ [Edited by Don W]

Going after a guys wife? Before he's even in the race? Comments like this used to bring about a swift and well deserved smack in the mouth but I guess we're all "used to it" by now.
