Yeah, and Reagan was "just an actor", too.

Yeah, ya gotta love that angle of the Fred candidacy. The liberals have helped him without meaning to.

No, Reagan was a long time president of the Screen Actor’s Guild, and he was governor of California for several terms before running for the presidency. Also Ronald Reagan was Ronald Reagan, and Fred Thompson is no Ronald Reagan.

Neither is Duncan Hunter, but at least Fred has a shot.

” Fred Thompson is no Ronald Reagan.”

though i agree with this statement (and i dont think there ever will be another Ronald Reagan) i still like Fred - he is not just an actor, he was an accomplished attorney and two term Senator.

Duncan Hunter does not pretend to be Reagan, but the two of them shared many views. And Hunter worked closely with RR.

I am certainly not denigrating any of Fred Thompson’s accomplishments. I just question if they are enough to qualify him for the highest office in the land.

That's the whole point. In spite of all his accomplishments, there are still a lot of people who claim that Reagan was just an actor.

Liberals love looking down on Conservatives, and assume that Conservatives must be unsophisticated, unintelligent, and unelectable. Since they are aware how superior they are, it comes as a devastating blow when "just an actor" mops the floor with them. President Bush is certainly not a Reagan, but he also made the left pay dearly for misunderestimating him.

If calling Fred Thompson "just an actor" is the best that they can come up with, I'm fine with that.

And that photograph is why I will not vote for Fred Thompson for Republican nominee nor for president.

What’s wrong with that photo? I find nothing wrong with it.

I’m a Thompson guy but even if Rudy was the nominee I’d have to vote for him over Osama-Obamo or Hitlery.

Heck...I’d vote for Osama Bin Laden before I voted for ANY democrat. At least you know where he stands.

Fred Thompson is no Ronald Reagan.

And that is a good thing. Reagan is deceased and can't run for office.

Welcome to 2007.

And Arnold Scharzenegger is a RINO of the first water. Be careful who you egg on. There are always consequences.
