Pondering President Thompson

Government Executive ^ | September 24, 2007 | Tom Shoop

Thompson would come into the job with a relatively large amount of experience in overseeing government operations, since he chaired the committee formerly known as Senate Governmental Affairs.

If the author is basing his premise on Thompson's tenure on this particular committee, he could compare it to Susan Collins, who's tenure is the same as Thompson. President Collins anyone?

It's not just tenure, it's what he did while he was there.

My jury is still out on Thompson.

At least you're being fair and open-minded.

</sarcasm>

Fred has GOT to pull it off! We have to get control again or say goodbye to the freedoms our fathers fought for. These people running our government are completely opposite in their views to the basic principles outlined in our Constitution, which I do NOT believe is a “living” document.

True.

They would have us believe an oak tree is a tumbleweed.

Very well said.

On a scale of one to five...

One=julieannie
Two=Ron Paul
Three=Mittocrat
Four=Duncan Hunter
Five=FRed Thompson

I give you a FRed! LOL

[papasmurf]

I have never stolen a graphic....from you.

But, that one is now in my My Pics/Politics/FRed folder! :)

Thank you.

[Politicalmom]

I don’t mind at all if people steal them for use elsewhere, but if they are used a lot on FR, then I have to make more to keep them fresh.

It is a nice one, isn’t it?

:)

...Now, Sarrr...*grin* What are you impuin' by that unfounded (he may have dirty; but not drunk) remark....and besides; in the field/combat prior to the modern battlefield....any potable liquid was used.

[W04Man]

Bump for Prez Fred!

EXCUSE ME..... I LOST MY "FREDHEAD"

"Bump for President Thompson"

[FlashBack]

HMMMM....FRederalism or Hillary-Care....I’ll take FRED!!!

[Stonewall Jackson]

I am impunin' nothing, Surrr. It is a well-known fact that Genr'l Grant is fond of the drink, something to which I do not imbibe. However, none of our military scouts or agents in the North can confirm any reports that he was drunk while on duty. And it is true that many officers and enlisted men do prefer to drink a large quantity of spir'ts and likker rather than risk typhus or colhera from drinking straight water.

To that end, I question the character of these...gentlemen who dare attempt to smear the good name of Sam Grant. It has been an honor to call him a friend, and I hope that I can continue to do so when this unpleasantness has ended.

Yours respectfully,

Thomas Jackson, Lieutenant General, Confederate States Army

Can he undo the unbelievable amount of damage that has been done?

I'd like you to elaborate on exactly what kind of damage Fred Thompson will need to "undo".

[Non-Sequitur]

It’s nice to see that he’s committed to all the right things. Now I’d like an idea on how he plans to accomplish it.

[exile]

I read a hilarious Fred Thompson “Fact” over at IMAO.us

“Fred Thompson is not your ‘bro’ and he is going to taze you.”

I“...(don’t Duncan me).”

I’m really tempted to use that for a tag line.

Take it, I've got spares.

I'd like you to elaborate on exactly what kind of damage Fred Thompson will need to "undo".

Let's start with "Big Government Conservatism" and continue along with a GOP with a moral standing equivalent to the "distinguished gentleman" from the other party and then move to the fact that our "permanent majority" is looking at less permanent and a lot more like a minority and perhaps finish with a removal of the "Good Job Brownie" cronyism and get back to the party of compentent, lean government. Oh yeah, and lastly perhaps repeal that tax hike on Americans abroad that W. and GOP controlled Congress thought was such a good idea the SOBs.

Did you miss these things Rip van Winkel?
