Being from Tennessee I know about Fred Thompson. He never tells a lie even if it hurts him politically. If he does not know the answer to a question he will tell you so rather than fake it. He recently stirred up some of the religious followers by being precise in responding to a question about his church attendance. It may have lost him some votes but in the face of God he told the truth. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

He tells you the opinion of Fred Thompson, not the opinion of the Republican Party. He slams George Bush and the current Administration if necessary. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

Often his speeches roll off the top of his head, rather than copious notes, teleprompters, aide prompters and Hollywood tactics. He talks while he is thinking and thinks while he is talking. Most unusual for a politician. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

There are no handlers behind the scene. Fred handles the handlers. When you see and listen to Fred you are seeing and listening to Fred Thompson, not a haircut or rehearsed sound bites or canned responses written by a team of writers. You are enjoying Fred the man, the way it used to be in the old days, like off the back of a train or the top of a load of hay. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

You are watching a man who does not need fame. You are watching a man who does not need money. You are watching a man who is already in most homes, many worldwide, on TV. You are watching a man who has plenty of love by plenty of people. You are watching a man who's wife was never the subject of tacky remarks. You are watching a man who never before was called dumb. You are watching a man who could wear his quality loafers anywhere and ride in a golf cart and never be made the butt of uncomplimentary and rude remarks by the nations press. You are watching a man who never was called a dog's name by the top pundits. You are watching a man who takes the punches, and keeps on keeping on, because he loves his country more than his crudely ridiculed persona. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

What do you think it is like going to bed as Fred Thompson? A man who stood back and watched to see what kind of race was being run out there in rant and rave land. A man who would not jump the fence until he absolutely knew he was the best for the job, based upon what he watched going down. A man who has been shot full of holes before he made a trial run, after he made a trial run and all claimed his money raising was poor when in fact it was excellent when the facts were known. Going to bed as Fred Thompson would be torture for the writer and most of us out there, I suspect. The man has guts and fortitude. That's why Fred Thompson grows on you.

He loves his country and he despises some of the things the future generations are going to bear based upon current legacy's to be passed down. He is going to change that. Softballs and hard balls he can handle. Shame for America he cannot handle. That is why Fred Thompson grows on you.

Every time Fred goes up in the poles, the foreign enemies shudder. They pay money to put him down. Our enemies do not want Fred in charge of America. They love the quitters. What nationality was the fellow who just got indited for donating huge sums to Hillary? I am close to making a unsubstantiated charge here, but he was not of American decent. The point is who really would you like leading our foreign affairs? Quitters, folks who change their minds about supporting our fighting men because you can't run for President unless you claim you were duped.

If you were duped by George Bush, how are you going to be against the Middle East dupers who have been duping for centuries? It is their way of life and the way they make a living. How can you stand up and claim you were duped by America and then be a quitter and expect votes? Well she is getting them. Amazing.

The Clinton's came to town in a used car and started out with two US Government salaries. They left the White House on their way, fairly comfortable and now they are as rich as a NY Cheesecake. White house memorabilia and furniture included. Do you suppose that came naturally?

Fred Thompson planted his seed lately in a garden which was full of fertilizer already laid out for him to use in growing. He is growing upon the others fertilizer and he is growing upon you.

"Fred Thompson planted his seed lately in a garden which was full of fertilizer already laid out for him to use in growing. He is growing upon the others fertilizer and he is growing upon you..."

You'd think Fred would be friendlier to immigration, what with all these English-as-a-second-language supporters.
And the "Fred planted his seed" stuff is just too easy. Like Fred.

I say lets give fellow Tennessee Flintstone Fred a good old Tennessee welcome similar to the one given to fellow Tennesseean Al Gore, plant that and see if it grows.

Fred Thompson planted his seed lately in a garden . . .

Didn't a similar occurrence lead to his first marriage?

Every time Fred goes up in the poles, the foreign enemies shudder

Has he invaded Poland, too?

I meant to add this link in reference to Thus Said Fred's first marriage.

it is impressive to see ManFred's comment above, which reminded me of those funky little 'mytho-history' books one might have found on the bookshelves of the Cleaver family. Such optimism that a politician, any politician, exists in such a beatific state could perhaps be admirable. It could be other things too.

Fred Thompson is just another Republican who thinks self-interest is a moral principle.

Liberty and justice for all.

That was one of the funniest pieces of agit-prop I've ever read. I kept waiting for signs you were joking. I'm still not sure it was real. Is Don Jones trying to be the cartoon version of Fred Thompson he admires?

Don Jones is seriously sarcasm impaired. I think he thought Bizgrrl was actually complimenting Fred! Thompson. I kind of feel sorry for these humorless Republicans that go through life without ever having a really good belly laugh to crack the sticks up their...

All this talk of fertilizer calls to mind the horse manure I'm spreading in the garden.

Maybe Don is on to something there.

The 14th and the 17th amendments need to be repealed and the Supreme Court has no power over a constitutional convention. I don't think Fred has played this entirely smart but with Newt out of the race Fred is the one to pass the torch to.

Imagine having a beer with the Hildabeast and hearing that cackle. Ugh!

I am not voting for my next beer buddy,

I am voting for the person that can run this country effetely and have a working foreign policy.

Sen. Clinton has a funny laugh...so what???

She is not my first choice, but Ill vote for her over Fred any day.

I am voting for the person that can run this country effetely

I'm assuming you meant efficiently instead of effetely. However, if effetely was used intentionally then I'd say we've already had too damn many years of Bush doing just that.

From Webster dot come, effetely-having lost character, vitality, or strength

I used FireFox's spellchecker....sorry.

My point is again, I am not voting for my new best buddy. I am voting for the person who can best run this country. I don't care about his or her laugh, or taste in beer.

a misused word that is spelled correctly.

Which is worse than simply misspelling. Not usually a sign of above average intelligence or adequate education.

An old friend sent me this in an email several years ago and, while I have posted it before, it bears repeating:

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Brilliant idea to repeal the 14th Amendment. It only provides for equal protection under the law.

The 14th amendment was the rationale to hand the election to Bush in 2000. Can we retroactively cancel his presidency?

... [nor shall any state] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Maybe even John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales couldn't get around this, though they ordinarily have given no respect even to plainly stated law.
