"If Hollywood Fred was not in Red October or Law and Order no one would know about him."

I completely disagree because Hollyweird is not how I became aware of FDT.(you did say "no one") He was, to me, 'one of those guys I wish would run for President but I know he never will' politicians before I knew him to be an actor.

FWIW, I support FDT yet I've never watched Law and Order, tho I keep meaning to check it out simply because he's on the show. IMHO, the 'he's from Hollywood' dog just doesn't hunt. Others might, who knows, but not that one.

btw...should your guy be the Rep nom, I can vote for him. I can't comfortable say that about a couple others.

Thompson told a packed lunchtime crowd at the Beef O’Brady’s restaurant in Ft. Mill that Romney was trying to buy his way to the nomination. "Governor, you can’t buy South Carolina. You can’t even rent it.”

Poised to belatedly begin his South Carolina campaign, into which he's about to sink millions of campaign dollars, Thompson commits audacious hypocrisy by claiming that Romney is attempting to "buy" South Carolina with his own campaign's millions. Think about it. Thompson is kicking off his multimillion dollar campaign in SC and is condemning Romney for engaging in his own multimillion dollar campaign.

Heh heh...”you can’t even rent it”.

If Fred locks up the South, it’s over.

Powerful comment, newbie. Any other meaningless info that you want to share with us?

Your on a roll.

Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and McCain have killed their chances in South Carolina. Their comments on the Confederate flag have insured that Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul will get their votes.

Romney, McCain, and Thompson are already getting protests, called "flaggings" in South Carolina, and it has had an effect on their supportors.

Thompson has been described as a "Scalawag", and the Massachusettes yankee (Romney) is a carpetbagger.

Their efforts are dead in SC.

"He’s a used car salesman in an better suit, nothing more."

There should be some kind of intelligence question on free republic before people like you would fail.
