Does he like Pit Bulls? :D

[RiverToysJas]

I saw something on one of the morning cable news shows saying he was probably going to accounce his bid in June or July.
I've heard the name, but I'd have to do some research to know if I'd consider him or not. They said he's an actor how's been in like 20 movies, in addition to his long polical career going back to Watergate......I guess I'll start IMDB..... :)

I just watched "Days of Thunder" the other night on TV because I couldn't sleep, and he was in it.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

[RiverToysJas]

He was in Day's of Thunder, Die Hard II, and the Hunt for Red October!!!! (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000669/) Hell yeah I'd vote for him!!!
RTJas :D

[Havasu1986]

He was also on Law and Order.

[Flyinbowtie]

He is a Republican in the conservative sense of the word, a former senator from Tenn. He interests me, but i want to hear more about his core values and thoughts on the major issues before I form my opinion on him.

[Tom Brown]

He scares the shit out of me.

[Boatcop]

He won both Senatoral races in Tennessee (one replacing AlGore when he was elected vice president, and then re-elected) by a 60% or higher margin and was leading HildaBeast in the polls by 44%/43% (Rasmussen) and 51%/34% (Foxnews). He also is second among Republicans with 15% vs. Rudy's 29% and McCain (12%) And this is without even announcing he's running.
Of all the Republican's, I think Thompson is the one who best represents the traditional values of the Republican Party, right alongside the views of Ronald Reagan. He definitely wouldn't sell out, or bow to the liberal "bipartisanship" and "cooperation" (meaning do it their way).
He'd be number one in my Book.

Personally I'm not thrilled with the current Republicans so I'd welcome an addition..........

Thursday, April 12, 2007; Page A07
Former senator Fred D. Thompson of Tennessee, who is actively weighing a campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, revealed yesterday that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma 2 1/2 years ago but said the cancer is in remission.
Thompson, who is perhaps best known as the tough prosecutor on NBC's "Law & Order," said that he has had no ill effects from the cancer and that it should have no impact on his life expectancy. His doctor said Thompson had been treated with medication but, because the cancer is in remission, is no longer receiving treatment.

Fred Thompson is a Republican's Republican. Firm core values and takes no crap. Reminds me of the old actor Wilfred Brimley. Quite frank and to the point.

[Pheelin Phroggy]

I would vote for him... hell, With the current line up, I'd consider voting for Homer Simpson if he threw his name in.

Staunch supporter.
But don't take my word for it. Read (http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OTIwYzMyZmQ1YzQ1MDNmZTMyYzQ1Y2U3YTU4YzNmNGE=)wh at he thinks about it.

[boatsnblondes]

VERY good class, keep going.....also, tune in to my other thread about Oxford..long, but interesting read....:D :D :D

I think he'd bring a little charisma to a floundering republican party. Prior to him, I was leaning towards McCain but I feared the fact that all the republican candidates show no real presence. He is by far the best option on both sides of the party lines (JMHO).
