  I would like to See either a Fred Thompson- Ron Paul ticket for 08 or to accomadate his concerns a Ron Paul- Fred Thompson ticket.  That would give him the White house experience and time for the small children to get bigger and than be ready after they are in office eight years(Yeah) he would run for president.  </description></item><item><title>Fred Thompson for president?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/09/86473.aspx#87675</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 14:28:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:87675</guid><dc:creator>Melba Isom, White Bluff, TN</dc:creator><description>How Fred Thompson ever won a US Senate seat is beyond me, talk about scandle, how about the late night drunken limo rides around Nashville with Lori Morgan?

He should stick to being on "Law &amp; Order" and leave politics alone. Let's get someone who REALLY IS qualified to be President (I don't see anyone on the GOP side, as they are all such hypocrites). Fred Thompson is just as much of a buffoon as is Giuliani. Reagan put on an act when he was not in another world (Alzheimer's). Thompson may not have that horrid disease, but he has a lot of skeletons in his closet, the least of which is his womanizing (thanks, Melba, I had almost forgotten that bit of news). If you're a fan of idiocy in the White House (59 million people allegedly were in 2004), then you'll be slobbering over Thompson.</description></item><item><title>Fred Thompson for president?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/09/86473.aspx#87902</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 20:04:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:87902</guid><dc:creator>J.

Because he was one of the republiCANT jerks on the Senate's judiciary comittee 13 years ago, who LAMBASTED The Clintons on Whitewater in spite of the fact that they were never indicted for ANYTHING regarding it. Oh yeah, and to listen to him tell the story, I. Lewis Libby is national hero. Give us, and yourself a break Fatso Freddy.

When both he and Bill Frist ran for the first time, they each stated this and they both were good to their word.  Get your facts straight Robert Catalano of Salem, Oregon.

Mexicans are not wimps like they pretend to be. Many of them carry knives and can cut both you ears of before you know that the are gone. However, only sixty percent are estimated to be banditos from Mexico the other forty percent are considered terrorist and foreign spies.

I can’t understand those politicians who want to grant them amnesty which would allow them out of hiding. However, I am praying that this is a ploy by the federal government to get them to come out of hiding so that they can be arrested.

While terrorists are using military tactics to lure all our fighting troops out of our country,  they been infiltrating our borders by the millions without no one here to stop them.  Our nation’s leader has fell for one of the biggest tricks in any military manual. Now we are helpless and the clock is ticking waiting for the right time to overtake our country (first taking our elected officials in Washington DC, our brass in the Pentagon and then the state governors)

We have been warned in the past by a foreign power that this country was going to be taken over without firing a shot. I can’t understand President Bush’s motive because government officials will be the first ones killed when a takeover occurs. I believe him appointing a Mexican as an attorney general during this time is relevant. 

Our only defense that we have here at home is the few Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies which are staffed with just enough personnel to respond to isolated incidents. The only exception to this is the war veterans.

I believe that the computer disks that were stolen from our VA hospitals were done for the purpose of finding out how many veterans are healthy enough to bear arms as the final level of our defense

Fred Thompson for President?  He offers America nothing at all ...  -- Diagnosed 2 years ago with a rare form of lymphoma, with a 63% five-year survival rate.  Why bet against the odds, when our country needs a leader who is vigorous and healthy?
-- Divorced in 2002, leaving his wife of 25 years for a woman 25 years his junior.  Known womanizer ... Why don't we want a real family man as an example for our children?
-- Now has a 3 1/2 year old and a 6 month old at home.  What kind of selfish, power-hungry man, in the midst of a late life crisis would sacrifice his young family for his political ambitions?
--- No organization or money ... running against the Hillary machine.  By waiting, he has hurt his chances at building the kind of organization required to win in '08.
--- Why hasn't he cared enough about the country to announce before now?  No passion.  No vision.  No energy.  Nothing to offer.  We need a President who cares about US and can transform our nation with new and better ideas.  Thompson has none of Reagan's charisma, energy, passion, or vision, and when sworn in, at 67, would be then, as he is now, already much "older" than Reagan was ... when he left office.  Fred is NOT a true conservative --- friends with McCain, voted for McCain-Feingold, and was a leading proponent.  Had an undistinguished record in the senate.  Name one major piece of legislation he sponsored?  NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER.  NONE.  AT LEAST BUSH AND REAGAN WERE GOVERNORS OF LARGE STATES.  Walks with a limp, and talks like a grumpy old marble-mouthed curmudgeon.  Yeah, that's the America I wish to project to the world!  Please tell Fred to go back to acting, and to the wife who makes him feel young again, and to spend time with his babies who are young enough to be his grandhchildren, and to leave the Office of Our Great Country to men with the experience, temperament, proven record of executive skill and achievement, and who have the passion, energy, health, ideas, vision, organization, and ideals to lead our nation.

So say what you want about Fred Thompson but he will be a fine American President and he will represent us all in the world theater with honor and dignity, unlike the administrations of the late 70s and 90s.

The people are ready for someone like Fred, but he should highly consider running as an Independent. Both the Republicans and Demcratic parties have chosen to represent themselves rather then the people of America.</description></item><item><title>Fred Thompson for president?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/09/86473.aspx#235787</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:30:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:235787</guid><dc:creator>Teresa Self, Nashville, TN</dc:creator><description>Quote by Larry McClintick Friday, March 23, 2007&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;A Fred Thompson/Duncan Hunter ticket is exactly what America needs if we are to avoid the take over by the globalists by 2015 as sited as by the CFR as their goal.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Apparently you haven't done ANY research on Thompson before making such an uninformed response. &amp;nbsp;Thompson IS a CFR member. &amp;nbsp;Want more of the same crap we've been dished for 25 years? &amp;nbsp;Then go ahead and throw your liberties away by voting for Thompson.</description></item><item><title>Fred Thompson for president?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/09/86473.aspx#246269</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:59:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:246269</guid><dc:creator>Bill Meeker,  Hayden, Idaho</dc:creator><description>Man oh man ! ! ! !

Many Americans are buying the media and special interest group spins that it is good for us. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;America is dieing, no one seems to notice or care. The SPP /CFR must be stopped.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fred Thompson for president?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/09/86473.aspx#348424</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2007 02:15:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:348424</guid><dc:creator>Anthony Biello 32 Cedar Hill Dr. Sicklerville, NJ 08081</dc:creator><description> I am a registered democrat, yet I subscribe to no political party.
