Still liking Fred, shame he won't get the nomination.

Yeah, Fred is the one, but the media just doesn't like him. That sucks. For us.

I like Fred but I think his critics are right, he's tired.

man ron paul is perhaps the only one of the whole clusterfek bunch of candidates that uses his brain rather than his beliefs/race/gender.


Hope my citizenship gets through before this election so I can vote for him.

Yeah. It's the media's fault that Giuliani, Romney, and McCain started building their momentum while Thompson was exploring the idea of running.

Too little. Too late. It's his own fault.

The same Fred Thompson who still thinks that the Soviet Union is intact?

I’m afraid that the Soviet Union & China are not ever going to do anything that’s going to hurt them that badly but we need to ratchet those up if at all possible. I

I'm confident that even if you're a [C]hristian (it's still a proper noun), you should be pretty concerned about the dramatic change this would entail in the structure of our country and the role of religion in government.

Welp. Yes. If Huck's gonna take that route I find him no less a threat to society than a religious extremist that takes the reigns of power in a Middle Eastern country and remodels it's government to fit his personal religious perspective. Faith should be one's personal spiritual standard and not a government mandated one (nor should government impede one's practice of faith if it doesn't involve criminal activity ... someone's eagerness to be offended not being such).

The U.S. Constitution, in it's current form, doesn't threaten Christianity (or any other belief, faith or philosophy) and certainly shouldn't threaten the God/s we do or do not believe in.

No, Fred is NOT tired. Fred is just calm and cool, he doesn't get wound up. He's ALWAYS been like that, for 30 years that I can remember.

Come on, if your wife was half your age you'd be tired too.

Half your age squared? I just want clarification.

It's a shame everyone is so worried about Fred's wife, instead of really listening and paying attention to what he's had to say.

Worried? Not an accurate assessment. His wife promotes his agenda much more energetically then does he. I'll say it again, I like Fred. I will enthusiastically visit the voting booth and cast my ballot for him if he can win enough support to get that far.

For those of you to lazy or too brain dead to care. Not one place in the constitution of the United States of America does it mention "separation of church and state".

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the phrase in a letter to the Danbury Baptist's on January 1, 1802.

"...I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

Now as I mentioned above it is not in the constitution but the rule as written says that our government shall not touch the subject of religion to either encourage or discourage its use by the people of the nation. Religion is a personal experience that you as an individual can choose to share or keep hidden within your life. Do not let it cloud your opinion of those around you who may have a different thought on the matter.
