The more Thompson is attacked by the far left and the far right, the more popular he will become with the vast majority of Americans who are sick and tired of the far left and the far right....

Fire away!

I see him being attacked by the middle right and middle along with the left. The far right isn’t attacking him except a few Duncan supporters here and there. It is mostly the Rudy Guiliani crowd.

Right now it’s more like a Presidential “dance” than a primary contest.

As I see it today it’s Fred Thompson and Rudy, Fred’s to win and Rudy’s to lose.

Fred & Wife

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Bottom line - true right-wingers and hardened left-wingers are equally disturbed by current campaign developments. That would be the 20 percent of America that lives, eats, sleeps and breathes politics, 10% hardcore leftists who want to dictate a socialist policy to the DNC and 10% extreme right-wingers who want to dictate an isolationist policy to the RNC.

As a card carrying member of the "The Reagan Right", I wholeheartedly support Fred.

[Puddleglum]

Oh heck, I like Fred. He is probably the best candidate for the Republicans, once you factor in positions + electability. He strikes the happy medium, though he does not mirror all of my views, esp on size and intrusiveness of government.

From the article (I like # 6 best)-

Let me see if I can remember all the reasons why we’re not supposed to support Fred Thompson for president… according to politicos across the political spectrum.

He’s too old (64)

He has cancer

He lacks political experience, or, he’s a Washington insider

He’s been both bachelor and family man, twice

He’s too conservative, or, not conservative enough

He likes pretty women, though not the same way Bill Clinton does

He’s too tough on abortion, but not tough enough for some

He’s a national security hawk, or, maybe a globalist dove

He’s a political nobody, or, a respected member of the Council on Foreign Relations

He was a Washington lobbyist, though by all accounts, an underpaid one

He’s just a TV prosecutor, or, a real prosecutor who often plays himself on TV

He was a Watergate Nixon insider, or, he was a leading Watergate prosecutor

Nixon thought he was a dunce, until the dunce forced Nixon to resign the Oval Office

He seems to imply that nobody knows the real Fred.

That may be the real question to be answered.

While I don't describe myself as far-right, by any accepted definition by others, I am.

I am no longer a registered member of the Republican party, I am a strong supporter and defender of "the Republic". And I am about as "constitutionally conservative" as a 61 year old, traditionally valued, country loving, war veteran can be.

Why am I telling you this?

Easy - this oft cited "right-wingnut" is 150% behind a Fred Thompson presidency. Personally, these days, I could care less about the Republican Political Party, but I do deeply care about our republic.

Mr. Thompson is the man this republic needs, in my most humble opinion!

Thanks for the article.
