Wait a minute.What do you mean we would be in deep trouble as a country right now had he gotten to be president?

Aren't we in deep trouble now through the fault of that arrogant, lying POS occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?

When Fred left the Senate, Tennessee lost it’s true last conservative Republican senator. Lamar Alexander took his spot.

Fred Thompson was conservatively head and shoulders above Lamar and Corker!!!

God Bless Senator Thompson!

We don’t have a President dying right now and we would have with Fred. That completely overwhelms a country. You guys didn’t recover from Kennedy for decades. not sure you have yet.

You can say that again. Alexander and Corker are both RINOS

RIP Senator Fred Thompson

Fred Thompson is in the same league as Tom Sellick ... great men of honor and conviction and both play(ed) legal chiefs in the LEO system.

I didn't know Fred was ill

I believe he was born again, but not sure.

Religion
Thompson was raised in the Churches of Christ. According to Thompson, his values come from “sitting around the kitchen table” with his parents, and from the Church of Christ. While talking to reporters in South Carolina, Thompson said, “I attend church when I’m in Tennessee. I’m [living] in McLean right now. I don’t attend regularly when I’m up there.”On occasion, Thompson attended Vienna Presbyterian Church in Vienna, Virginia. He did not speak much about his religion during his campaign, saying, “Me getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am and that sort of thing, I’m not comfortable with that, and I don’t think it does me any good.”

A president dying in office is one thing. Heart attack, cancer etc. Heartbreaking, but not staggering.

A president assassinated is a whole different set of dynamics.

I first remember him from Season 1 of Roseanne, and later on Wiseguy.

He was a good, decent man and loved by all.

I am so happy he found true happiness with his young wife.

God rest his sweet soul and God hold him dear.

I am praying for his soul and for his heartbroken and grieving family.

Lord, hear our prayers.

Duncan Hunter was my candidate. I never heard the theory that Thompson cost him valuable funds. RIP Fred
