Would that be the same Fred Thompson about whom President Nixon stated, "Oh sh--, he's dumb as hell," during a recorded conversation with Alexander Haig in May, 1973?

Fred may be a "pro-life Christian, but his campain manager is the PLO, Hezbollah, Al-Qeada supporting Spencer Abraham.
Can we trust a man who employs a pan-Jihadist as his top adviser?
This one-time senator, a Lebonese born christian has carried water for terrorists and continues to do so.

What credibility does Nixon have? He recorded himself on everything. Do I need to say it: that's not intelligent.

Nixon has no credibility. It seems pretty stupid to record yourself in every move you do? Might come back to haunt you. Tricky Dicky not slick Willy.

Former Senator Fred Thompson is the only candidate that gets it. He makes decisions based on principles. Principles don't change. You have to stand for something and not change who you are based on the polls. That is what Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have done and all of the Democrats do it. Give me a leader that will stand by his principles anyday versus someone that stands for everything.

I know many Republicans and conservatives that will stay home if Rudy Giuliani is the candidate. He does not represent our values as conservatives, and never will. Mitt Romney is a Republican-in-name-only (RINO ) that simply has everything else and nothing to do. "I guess I'll just try to buy the presidency." The White House isn't for sale! Conservatives will simply stay home and the Democrats will pick up additional seats in the House and probably get the 60 seats in the Senate they need to completely destroy our Country. Nice picture huh?

However, I think Fred can bring America back together, if that's even possible. America needs a rebirth of patriotism and honor. Republicans also need a rebirth. President Reagan was our last rebirth and he can never be duplicated. Fred Thompson will bring his own down-to-earth common sense to this country.. A little of the good old days of faith, federalism and family would do well for this country. If a conservative runs as a conservative, he will win!

Think of it this way: Eight years of another Clinton White House? Now if that is not a sufficient enough reason to pull together as a nation, and fight this socialist liberal takeover of our government, what is?

Folks, we are in for the fight of our lives, just as our young men and women are fighting for our freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must fight for our nation right here and now! I truly believe Fred Thompson is the one man who can pull this nation back together! Rudy Giuliani will just tear us apart.

Yes, N.N., that's the same Nixon who resigned from office in disgrace after being discovered to be a crook. Thompson's a lot of things, but dumb isn't one of them.

What do Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, and Fred Thompson all have in common?

But Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes, and Mike Huckabee do not?

(I won't spill the secret, but the initials do include the letters "C", "F", and "R".)

As if President Nixon's comment would be a good evaluation of someone. He probably didn't agree with nixon. Gary Bauer is a better judge of character. To look to one comment about someone seems like that is "dumb as hell."

That would be the same one. But then there were a lot of things Nixon was wrong about.

he's not that pro life. but that will come out soon enough.

huckabee should be thier choice but they're ignoring him. very wierd. must be the name.

he's pro life

pro nra

anti gay marriage

he's not militant enough?

And look where Nixon ended up...

Gary Bauer has been a supporter of Fred's since at least the July 30th Fred Fundraiser in Wash DC. I saw him there. Gary knows which Conservative Republican can beat Hillary, and that's Fred.

If Nixon said he was dumb,he must be smart.

Who one man says another is at a particular point in time, and who one in fact is, are two entirely distinct matters. For President Nixon to be critical of another Republican may be viewed by many conservatives, particularly Christian evangelicals, as a positive development. Who among us has a record replete solely with positive accolades? Fred Thompson is the right man at the right time to lead this nation forward.

Nixon's opinion is your litmus test?

Why don't you credit Coulter, she made this claim?

N.N.-what in the world does Nixon's comments have to do with Thompson in this article? And since when do most people credit Nixon with anything that seems intelligent?

As for picking a candidate -- ask yourself this:
If you were in come kind of personal trouble, which of your favorite uncles would you call upon? Would you call Uncle Rudy? or Uncle Mitt? or Uncle John? or Uncle Fred? (You certainly wouldn't call Aunt Hillary, would you?!) For me, Uncle Fred's unruffled demeanor, together with his intelligent analysis of situations and his determination to make decisions based on principle rather than expediency make the choice very easy.

Alan Srout:
You said it correctly:
"Think of it this way: Eight years of another Clinton White House? Now if that is not a sufficient enough reason to pull together as a nation, and fight this socialist liberal takeover of our government, what is?"
Anyone the Republicans choose as their standard bearer is worth pulling the lever for so she and her philanderer in chief don't re-corrupt our White House.
Let's work our hearts out to get the candidate we prefer as the Republican nominee, but if we don't get what we want, I can't think of anything more STUPID than to sit home to suck our thumb like babies on Election Day and let Hillary waltz in!

Give the fact that NN's post was posed as a question and can, therefore, in no way be considered an invocation of Nixon's character or credibility, I suspect that he/she jerked the chain labeled "Dunce" just to see just who might appear.

You have to listen to the people who live with the men. The people of Tennessee rejected Al Gore because they had to live with the ignorant fool, and they were right. He's still a fool.. Globel Warming and all. Tennessee loves Fred Thompson because they know the strength and integrity of the man.
Our enemies in the middle east would treat us like a laughing stock if Hillary becomes President. They have no respect for women, especially one who is out to appease them. It is just not time for a women President.
Rudy, Fred and Mitt all have more proven experience than Hillary or Obama put together.
If Fred's wife is a Trophy Wife does that make Hillary a Bowling Trophy Wife?

What irks me these days is what is passing for "journalism" with the accent on "journal" in the term.

Most is the media are asking everyone, "Who is the next Reagan?"

Well, let me remind you of the election in '80. Granted, back then, you would have seen me only knee high to a grasshopper, but was there anyone looking for a "Reagan" in '80? Nope! Back then, the only lighthouse conservatives had in politics was Richard Nixon, and the media dimmed the intensity of his lighthouse SO much that none of the conservatives back then DARED to use him as a landmark! Doing so meant becoming "Lost at Sea!"

The media have TRIED to do the same thing with Reagan to diminish the intensity of his light some, since his death only some years ago. For example, they extrapolated his Alzheimer's back to when he was serving in office by saying, more or less, "look how much he is suffering from Alzheimer's at the end. If he is suffering THIS much NOW, how much could it have affected him during his presidency?" Granted, the media didn't SAY this literally, but the insinuations were there.

So they would insinuate further that we conservatives don't need to use Mr. Reagan as our contemporary lighthouse because the light he provided for those eight years in the '80s was "dim by reasons of illness."

Bring it on, pantywaists! ONE of our guys will get us closer to the promised land.

Back in the '80s, we conservatives didn't have FNC, or as the the other side like to call it "Faux News Channel." They are so smart with THAT comment and the Gen. "Betray us" comment too. Is THIS all they have in their quivers? Come on, guys and gals of the other side! Can't you do better than this? Sure! We have fun, for example, with the name Sandy Burglar (Berger), but we don't make a political movement (e.g. Moveon.org) out of it, and there are court documents and confessions involving said burglar that the play on his name is VALID!!! There is NOTHING that Petraeus has done as a commanding officer that gives us ANY motivation to call him a traitor, yet this is THEIR accusation!

I lost a lot of respect for Fred when I found out he was pro-Slick Willy during the impeachment fiasco.

As someone said here in a comment, eight more years of Clinton will be a total disaster for the whole country, I can't stand hillary clinton, there fore I would vote for Fred Thomason If he get's the republic nomanation. And I pray for all our sakes he does.Hillary clinton is way to liberal for my taste's

Fred has no business running for office. He has been in acting for the last years. Other candidates have been in the government and dealing with issues. Fred has not. Why would the Christians support him?
Simply because he is pro-life? There are other candidates who are pro-life? Why wouldn't the Christians support them?

A vote for Fred Thompson is the same as a vote for Hillary; in the end, they're just gimmick candidates putting on a show. It's either "I voted for the woman" or "I voted for the actor." Both candidates would have you believe that America's best days are in the past, whether that's 1992 or 1952. Give me a candidate who says that we can be better NOW given what we've got NOW, and stop playing on nostalgia to earn votes. I haven't picked a candidate yet, but I can guarantee it won't be Fred Thompson. How anyone can associate that man with the word "integrity" is beyond me. His positions are available to the highest bidder, and nobody's ever made a secret of that. The man is a lobbyist, plain and simple. Can we ever ultimately know that he's making his own decisions? When did "trust the politician" become a legitimate Conservative campaign strategy?

Rev 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth!

Dumb Old Fred reminds me of a pile of rocks. Very old, very dumb rocks. But a realy famous former President said he simply rocks...Bill Clinton. Remember, not only does Dumb Old Fred employ as his campain manager the PLO, Hezbollah, & Al-Qaeda supporting Spencer Abraham, but Dumb Old Fred is also one of the cowardly Republicans who voted against convicting Clinton. Idiot!

HIllary Rodham Clinton would slaughter Dumb Old Fred Thompson. And Fred's wife, well, good for Fred. Good thing he has money!

Fred Thompson's deflating popularity was a mirage anyway; if Mitt Romney weren't a Mormon, he'd already be the presumptive nominee. But the smartest, most successful guy on our side can't convince some to vote for him because bigots simply will not vote for a Mormon, even if it means Hillary will install four more Ruth Bader Ginsburgs into the Supreme Court.

Since Mitt Romney is the only candidate with a snowball's chance of beating Hillary Rodham Clinton (let's face it; he's the only one CLEAN enough to be able to stand up to the Clinton Smear Machine).

The Clinton campaign truly fears Romney. Refusing to vote for Romney because one doesn't prefer the same religion is truly cutting off one's nose to spite ones' face.

Fred Thompson = CFR.

Enough said.

Vote to put America first - not Israel.
