As long as he is against my number one belief, which is enhancement of stem cell research, I refuse to vote for him. He doesn't have a chance anyways, he's too conservative...GWB created fear in voting for a far right wing person, I don't see one getting elected for the next 4 elections at least. Just a belief, I could be wrong, often am.

Quoting AsstChiefMark (Reply 6): When he tries to smile, he seems to mimic that smart-ass, shyster sneer of Dick Cheney.
Not even close - since when have we seen Fred sneer like Cheney? Are you trying to subtely call that a sneer? Cheney has a face made for Halloween - Fred only has the grandpa look about him.

Quoting Falcon84 (Reply 12): Actually Fred would have fit in perfectly in the days of the Revolution, looking at his uniform: on the side of the British.
That's red Falon... the Brits were the ones in red.
I'd have Thompson, and if not available, I'd go w/Richardson. (There are other conservative candidates after Thompson, but they're either too nutty or have no chance.) Richardson at least seems honest. Also, he seems to be the least elitist of the Dem. candidates. *coughHillarycough*

Quoting AC773 (Reply 15): Fundraising is apparently down "markedly". Not looking good for Fred's campaign which he hasn't technically started yet.
Yeah if I saw people donating money to a campaign and then nothing happened, I'd avoid it too. Nothing says "waste of money" like giving money to a presidential candidate who isn't, well, a presidential candidate.

Former Senator Thompson has sold conservative credentials (no on abortion rights and no on the myth of stem cell research).
Anything to avoid a Clinton Restoration or a Barry Obama reign.
Maggs swings, it's a drive deep to left! The Tigers are going to the World Series!!!

Which is exactly what the nations doesn't need at this time. We've seen what "solid conservative credentials" have gotten us the last 7 years. No thank you.

41 Jmc1975: He's the best one out there for the job in 2008. He should run and chose Condoleeza Rice as his running mate. A Thomson/Rice GOP ticket would be a win
42 Falcon84: Great. Run one of the architects of the fiasco in Iraq. Lovely. That'll bring in votes...not. And remember I mentioned that thundering herd a year or
44 TwinOtter: President Reagan was a very fine president overall. He raised taxes when the situatiion required it. He used the military effectively, and didn't end
47 JpetekYXMD80: Pretty self explanatory. Some of the conservative base will undoubtedly not vote for a woman, black or in this case- both.
48 Jmc1975: So are you stereotyping the conservative base as being racist and sexist KKK rednecks?
49 JpetekYXMD80: Of course I am not. But you are only fooling yourself if you think they don't exist.
