" Yawn. How about a Thompson/Huckabee ticket ? The USA could go into sort of s a coma/stupor for 4 years and wake up like it was 2004 again. Oh, and by the way,,whats in this for Brady ? "

" Vote Ron Paul in '08. The rest of them are on company pay rolls for fascist who wish to further devalue the American dollar and unionizing North America returning us to the days of slavery. Few people own there home, the banks actually own them, and the banks are controlled by foriegn investors. The police are mitarized and not serving the intrests of the civial population. If you don't believe me then go and be disrespectful to one and you will be arrested. They will assualt you, arrest you, and fine you for freedom of speech. Please wake up and realize that America has become an empty illusion. Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are the only ones running who aren't bank rolled by the corporate satans. Revolt with a vote and take back life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. "

" No, $5 Mil isn't bad at all, but too bad that won't get you anything in today's poltical world. It's all about money. You didn't know that the Presidency was for sale? "

" Putin was in Iran this week and you didn't notice? He even said leave Iran alone! I can see Fred looking at Putin in the eye and saying don't you dare jive with America! We're past this holding hands and talking stage, you don't negotiate with terrorists even though Clinton had the thug Arafat over to the White House. Fred's the man! (By the way, who CARES what you think about credibility). "

" Hey Fred, Will you consider running for Gov. of Illinois, also? We need some Republicans in Illinois politics. All we have are moderate Democrats running with an 'R' beside their names. "

" In case you did not notice, Russia is hardly what it use to be. And the United States' credibilty in the eyes of other countries has dropped. I am not saying that we are any less of a country in actuality, but it the eyes of other countries it has clearly happened. Perhaps the best way to gain some of that back might not be through bullying but rather through sitting down and talking. "

" I'm with you Lenny. Let's nuke Russia and their good buddy, Iran. That'll quell terrorism and make us heros! Go Fred go! "

" I am so for Fred! I keep waiting for the democrats to wise up but it looks like Hillary is a done deal and once again they have blown it. First Kerry and now this. Fred did a good job in the senate and loves America and what she stands for. You won't see a scandal of the week and you won't see a pushy wife trying to get into politics. The troops like Fred and despise Hillary so oorah Fred! Semper Fi! "

Lenny wrote on Oct 17, 2007 12:38 PM:

" You go, Fred! He's the kind of guy America needs now that Russia is flexing its muscle. I can see Fred being commander-in-chief and telling Putin where to go. Back when Fred led the minority during Watergate Hillary was a peon gofer for the majority. Some things just never change. "

" Thompson is a phony conservative with a trophy bride....There's something creepy about a 65 yr old man with 2 pre-school kids and 3 other kids (from the 1st marriage) who are at least 47 years old. Mike Huckabee is the real deal. Brady...you're a loser!! "

" Ron Paul raised $5 million... which isn't bad considering its all small individual donations. "

" Just get Ron Paul nominated in the primaries. He will get 100% of the anti-war vote and will win. "

John Q. Publico wrote on Oct 17, 2007 11:47 AM:

" OH NO!!!!!!, please all of you anti-Hilary people please come out of the woodwork and vote against that woman....I am for any other woman to be president, even Madonna or Oprah "

" Apparently she's going to be the next President since Republican voters will nominate more of the same instead of Ron Paul. "

Fred is a wrote on Oct 17, 2007 10:34 AM:

" horrible choice for the GOP. In fact, every front-running candidate is just an aweful choice. The only decent ones running are Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, too bad neither can raise enough money. I's also too bad that GW Bush has tainted the Bush name so bad that Jeb never will be able to successfully run, that man would've been a great President. "

" I hope this means that Law and Order will use Bloomington/ABnormal as place to shoot an episode. We have had one paid actor as president(Ronnie) and since 1933 11 other semi-actors so one more won't hurt. "

" He has my vote. I'm glad that he is running as a conservative, not trying to change his beliefs to get more swing votes. Love him or hate him, he is genuine. "

" I miss Illinois and the family-like embrace of it's loveable Republican Party. Billy, do you want me to come help you get Ole Fred's campaign back to where it was before he was an official candidate. His campaign is deader than real estate. Are you bored,or what? "

Dave wrote on Oct 17, 2007 8:33 AM:

" Fred Thompson is the only candidate telling it like it is and not giving us some canned answer or statement. Fred is talking about Social Security and everyone else is trying to avoid the issue. Fred Thompson is the only one I trust to be our future leader. "
