"ACTIVIST" judges put that moron in the White House.

But the GOP only uses that line when it comes to judicial decisions they disagree with.

I don't understand how someone with such backwards views on gay people can get work in Hollywood. It must be part of that internal homophobia.

Qjeresy is right on with the ACTIVIST judge comment.

Jack Jett

i wonder who on the thompson campaign staff approved this idea. i mean, considering that such an amendment would effectively kill the Full Faith and Credit clause.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IS FUN! maybe this guy should have someone pick up a book and join his staff.

idiot.

This dimwitted redneck will run on the tried and true Republican mantra of God, gays and guns and just might do very well. The press likes him. He can speak well and has been dubbed by the beltway boys and the Republican noise machine as looking "Presidential" and "Reaganesque". Bauer and the religious right are behind him. Rove will most likely be guiding his campaign. He's lazy and not an intellectual whiz kid, so the neocons can control him with little effort. Beware Thompson, he has a good chance of winning the GOP nomination and the White House. Remember, the election just has to be close, the machines will take care of the rest.

Fred Thompsons announcement gives Republicans their own well rounded field of candidates to choose from.

Brownback of Kansas is a christian totalitarian and proud of it. Keep your eye on this one – his constant repetition of radically antigay, racist, anti-female, and anti immigrant views will attract those in need of a Fuehrer. He knows what ‘up the chimney’ means.

Giuliani in or out of drag takes one step forward and two steps backward every time he opens his mouth about gay and lesbian equality, not unlike Senator Clinton.

Like Reagan, Fred Thompson is a soon to be senile old actor, who’ll do and say what his coaches tell him to do to get elected. His antigay hatred though, is the real thing and he doesn’t need a script.

McCain flew attack missions during the LBJ/Nixon Democrat/Republican illegal war against the Vietnamese. He wants to be treated like a hero for killing Vietnamese. Now he wants to be commander in chief and organize the killing of a lot of Iraqis. He needs to be institutionalized.

And there’s that twit from Arkansas, but he doesn’t play the sax, like the other twit from Arkansas, so who cares?

Opposed are the serious Democrat candidates who are unanimous in their opposition to full equality for gays add lesbians, would extend or even enlarge the war in the Persian Gulf, who oppose universal citizenship and constitutional rights for immigrant workers, socialized medicine, and who voted to extend Bush’s Enabling Act, the Patriot Act. Edwards, who invested his fortune of $29.5 million in assets (it’s so mysterious; how DO politicians manage to get so rich?) in a mortgage company that’s currently foreclosing on Katrina victims. After he was exposed by the Wall Street Journal Edwards did an about face and said he wouldn’t do it anymore. Clinton agrees with Bush’s almost completed plan to use nukes against Iran and his opposition to the Cuban Revolution. Obama talks to god. Kucinich and Gravel are too radical to be approved by the party owners.

So, hold you nose and take your pick. In the one paw you have the Democrat/Republicans, and in the other the Republican/Democrats. Of course, you don’t have to vote for your enemies if you don’t want to. Vote for socialist, communist or anticapitalist green parties, or vote for and help build the US Labor Party, funded and controlled by trade unions.

Thompson is the one to watch out for. Americans elected an actor (more than once in some places) and will do it again. Thompson is a polished speaker, already knows the ropes, and has face recognition. His right wingery is unshielded and will appeal to many.

Wow, Fred, without The Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution, you would still me married to your FIRST wife.

I didn't like him on Roseanne.
