Go Fred! The more the media hammers him, the more I like him.

The Republican nominee who comes up against Hillary will get an education in dirty politics 101 like they’ve never seen before.

Hillary and her "gang" will teach a graduate level series of courses...so my advice to every opponent is.....be prepared....

[Sig Sauer P220]

The same media that claims Harvard C student and 2-time Vanderbilt flunk out Al Gore, a genius.

[pgyanke]

Not only do I like Duncan Hunter as a man and a candidate... he’s one of the cleanest candidates we have to go against the Hillary slime machine. Can we really believe that all of Rudy’s negatives won’t go primetime for 11 months straight next year?

[Jeff Chandler]

Either this author is a poor writer or his article has been poorly transcribed. It is so bad I don’t wish to finish it.

[America_Right]

I agree. I wish I could have corrected some of the grammatical and spelling errors, but it was too late. I posted the article without reading the whole thing. “Gerbils”? Yikes...

[trisham]

Fred bump!

“Village Idiot.” ... The first honor has been bestowed on such great men as Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and now Fred Thompson.

Looks like we elect the village idiot. LOL Goooo Fred! haha

[JustPiper]

I've liked him since he singlehandedly and doggedly never gave him trying to prove Clinton was a commie when he was in the Senate. He gave 110% trying to get that creep!

Seems to me the media is hammering him because they know he is the one to beat Hitlary!

Tancredo was my first choice and no matter to me if he wasn't in the 'top tier' GOP choice. But when Fred announced that was it. We all would like our vote to go for a candidate who would win.

[Domandred]

Besides Fred’s occasional overuse of the words um and uh he is far from the ‘village idiot’. Media is just promoting a Clinton - Rudy race indirectly.

[Bogtrotter52]

Well, to be blunt, it does not matter ‘cause Hunter hasn’t got a prayer.

[AndyTheBear]

The first honor has been bestowed on such great men as Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and now Fred Thompson. If Fred Thompson follows in the foot steps of any one of these men he’ll make one hell of a fine president and become a credit to this nation. [emphasis added]

Following Lyndon Johnson is not exactly a path to greatness.

[Cicero]

Actually, I thought that was pretty funny, though I’m afraid unintentional:

“Hillary has a propaganda machine that Joseph Gerbils of the old Nazi Party would marvel at.”

Maybe it’s a sly hint at her sexual preferences?

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

They probably picked him as their target of contempt because of physical traits, which is bad. Chiefly his age, build, and accent.

Appearance is not directly proportional to leadership skills.

[ZULU]

THAT is an ENDORSEMENT in my book.

[America_Right]

Hmmm... I dunno. Seems like you have to be over 6’ tall to be president. Dukakis didn’t stand a chance! :)

[Bobbisox]

FredHead BUMP! The more they pick on him, the more people like him. NO...he is not dancing to their tune. Fred is making his own music with Jeri.

[avacado]

" Hillary and her "gang" will teach a graduate level series of courses...so my advice to every opponent is.....be prepared...."

Exactly! Whoa the fool who gets in the way of Hillary's Coronation.

[AuntB]

Well, to be blunt, it does not matter ‘cause Hunter hasn’t got a prayer.

If that is true, then this country doesn't have a prayer either.

[delacoert]

Fred Thompson has a cretin Southern sophistication Hillary lacks.

This is exactly as as it appears on the article's web site too.

The author's an ass - makes me wonder about American Chronicle as well.
