Since he hasn't been out on the campaign trail, we have no idea what he'll be like. Why not give him a chance? As for 'not wanting to be President" his entire life, I think that's a plus!
No, it's not. Maybe, many years ago, when the MSM was the only outlet for news, and they pushed hard the idea of winners and losers in state caucus and straw polls, but that time has come and gone. There have been many a candidate who wiped the floor with their fellows in state polls, and went on to drop out later for lack of success in the primaries.
“I liked him better before I got to know him so well.”
lol!! That’s going to happen to a lot of folks.
Only if voters allow their emotions to rule, and go for someone like Ross Perot again.
I guess that’s one of those “fact filled” criticisms we’re supposed to welcome, huh?
So if ABC was to show T3, they had to do something else for the affiliates in CA, but FX or AMC were ok.
Same with L&O as I understand it. On TNT it should be fine, but not on an NBC outlet. I think we are about to see that tested though. This happening at the national level is new ground. There maybe changes already, my buddy John has been out for a couple of years. As far as seeing Arnold now, the race is over. It will be interesting to see how that plays as the next election nears. I guess they will wait until someone cries foul...
“If RR was still around hed be kickin tail and telling people to be themselves and quit chasing ghosts.”
And RR would be telling everyone to support Duncan Hunter because Fred Thompson is no dang good!
Hey, two can play at that game!:)
“Fred spent his entire time in the Senate trying to cut taxes, waste, and regulation, trying to increase the efficiency of the government, and trying to bring the government back to the principles of Federalism.”
Amen!! He is every bit the equal of John McCain!
Well, since the recent re-runs on NBC will end around the end of August or so, that should be fine. The only other place they’re shown is on a cable channel, but I can’t remember which one.
Funny how those of you supposedly so close the the so called "Reaganesque" candidates forget that...
(And here is a clue, if you have to look that up, you really should stay out of any debate involving camping anything to RR)
There is your September announcement...
“John Kerry didn’t enter the race until September and it didn’t stop him from being the Demoncrats nominee if I recall correctly.”
And the Democrats nominated Kerry to fend off Howard Dean. I guess that would make Fred Thompson our John Kerry, wouldn’t it? I do feel better!
Hum, sure you have the right guy in your tag line. Maybe you got mixed up and meant to put John Edwards...
“That said, similar to Reagan, I predict Fred will run an across the board conservative campaign. His speeches, interviews and essays over the past 5 months all point to that.”
And then he will govern as a moderate, thereby p!ssing off all his loyal supporters.
Just having a little fun.
I didn’t speak ill of anyone. Just a little humor for my own enjoyment, apparently.
“So your are against cutting taxes, waste, regulations and the principals of Federalism?”
Nope, I am all for it and also some humor now and then. I didn’t say anything that is going to hurt your candidate. Just poking a little fun.
At least Fred isn’t a lazy porker like your candidate.
I really want to know why he is accepting money for a job he isn’t showing up to do while he acts as a stalking horse to get his son a cushy government job so he can belly up to the trough for the next 20 years or so, just like Daddy.
Super Tuesday is likely going to be in mid-January 2008, instead of March as in 2004. That backs everything up about seven weeks from "traditional".

LaRouche: Dec. 27, 2000
Dean: March, 2002
Edwards: Jan. 2, 2003
