Anyone know anything?
Fred Thompson: Where are you?

The last I read about the subject Fred Thompson was expected to enter the race sometime after Labor Day.
-
Let everyone else on both sides self-destruct, then step in and sweep up.
-
Because of the vacation drag and the summer slump, I never expected him to announce July 4 or anytime this month. I do expect near Labor Day and that will put him in the scheduled Sept debate with much fanfare.
-
Unlike the coat tail rider Fred doesn't feel pressured to join the race any sooner than he is ready for.
-
Yeah, I think Fred is playing it pretty cool. Let the others slug it out, as someone opined.
-
I guess y'all are right, just seems like he dropped off radar. Maybe he went on vacation to watch the summer antics:laugh:
-
Maybe Mr. Thompson is getting cold feet. He did not have a reputation for being an energetic U.S. senator. He may decide that a national presidential campaign is too much for him.
-
Fred is alive and well ans the country will be seeing him soon.
-
The country has been basically seeing him in the form of George W. Bush since January 20, 2001.
A Fred Thompson administration would be a continuation of the current Bush administration. I am not sure that our republic would survive four more years of that.
I would not vote for Fred Thompson for president. I voted for twice for George W. Bush for president and I don't want to vote for a another liberal Republican for president in the form of Fred Thompson. I allowed George W. Bush to pull the wool over my eyes. I won't allow Fred Thompson to do the same. -
Great so you want to vote for a liberal ronnie instead.
-
Yes, as restoring limited, constitutional government is important to me as I think it is to you as well.
-
Well, we've all seen this conversation before. I'm not convinced Fred is perfect. (I'm convinced he isn't). But a liberal he's not, and he's an upgrade over the "Pygmies." ;)
I feel bad using Newt's line knowing Tancredo's still in there. There's my caveat :) -
Newt stole it from Ken:laugh:
