Gosh Daniel,
What elite country and citizenship do you boast? It is conspicuously missing in your post.

I am negatively impressed with US Citizens and your lack of intelligence and memory (I do not say Americans because America is a continent! not a country). To look up to Reagan, a complete crook, to have voted for Dubya not once but twice! to now like Thompson because he uses Aqua Velva, is tall and has a low voice, is quite telling about the dumbest people on the face of the earth (i.e. US citizens I repeat)who, adding insult to injury, are more religiously fanatic than any other people on the face of the Earth!

I LIKED YOU B4 YOU UNMASKED WHEN ON LAW AND ORDER CRIMINAL JUSTICE THAN YOU ARE NOW… I THINK NOW I SEE YOU AS AN OLD FELLA WHO JUST NEED TO REST, DON'T U THINK?

GOP says "chose winning." Well, who is winning? Brave american solders are not, they are dying. Americans are not, they have to foot the $900 billions bill which means $3000 each person, young and old. The only winners are Bush and his oil friends. Do you want to let them win again and you lose again???? Chose the party which will make YOU the winner and stop billing you $3000 per head. Democrats will make you a winner.

Both of them are phoneies. All of the republican canidates are hopeless phonies and panderers.

When they are not trying to play to your fears they are trying to out-Jesus each other. Give us all a break.

I, too, am tired of people in this country like this one from Kansas that reveals thier self as a bigot by attacking a religion. I know that the LDS church worships the same Jesus Christ. If the candidate is a good one then who cares if he is catholic, protestant or whatever.
Now on to big Fred. you want to talk phony then here is a good one to start with. This is the guy who drives around in luxury cars but then switches them out blocks from his campaign to hop in a pick-up truck so he look like a good ol boy. please. And let's not forget his membership in the CFR. he's nothing but a NEO-CON Globalist!

RE: Chris, Middletown CT

Great post! I also get tired of trying to decipher so many of the posts on this blog. Simply reading them is out of the question. It's no wonder many of the viewpoints are so extreme. If one fails to master the difference between their, there and they're or has difficulty spelling other monosyllabic words, how can we take the content of the post seriously?

A random typo here or there can be excused, but continued butchering of the language can not.

Have a great day!

SOCK IT TO THEM FRED WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALSO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE LYING LIBERALS.THEY WILL BRING EVERYTHING AGAINST YOU THEY CAN THEY ARE REAL GOOD AT LYING.FRED I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WIN AND BECOME OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

Outsiders are told to leave LDS stakes because the Mormons do not allow non-mormons to witness their madness.

Why all the secrecy?

I think the dem's are afraid of Romney. I only notice articles that attempt to demonize him. Hmmmmm. Fair and balanced?

JR, you are proof ignorant people CAN work a computer… "and you shall be hated of all men for my names sake"- Jesus Christ(Luke 21:17) If Romney is to win or lose, it will be the will of the Lord. He still has to put forth the labor though. So you, and people like you can choose to hate and ridicule the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints all you want. HIS Church will never leave the face of the earth again. This is way beyond Romney JR, this is a way to get people to search our doctrine, true doctrine. For all those who bash us, there will be some who will diligently search… like they say, the truth will set them free… peace JR

Romney's campaign has and will stoop to any level. It is a shame that Americans now witness mud slinging in an effort to win our highest office. The evidence is there. The Romney bunch had to know of this ad and to disclaim it is an insult to anybody. Such ill-bred tactics were once only seen in local politics.

Republicans using dirty tactics. I am scocked. The Party of Moral Values I am schocked.

Massachusetts knows quite well the methods Mr. Romney will use to get elected. He gave us a bunch of bull in the campaign to be elected Governor of the state. Boy were we sorry.

This is BETTER than a soap opera … and I don't even watch them! Once again, Mitt & his passel of fools flip-flop all over themselves … priceless! And while Thompson "I'm not a lawyer, I just play one on TV" wants to be the "I'm not the president, I just play one on TV", he certainly is not presidential material, this was a pretty low blow .. amusing but low.

I also have to wonder … what is it with Republicans and their need to put pretend candidates in positions of power?? I mean, Reagan, Thompson, The Governator … elections aren't supposed to be "who can play a better politician" nor are elections the OSCARS!

This is a non-issue Fred. No one cares or should care about an anti-Fred Thompson website. Your friends and supporters won't look at it and the people who already don't like you will. So what?

As far as a cover-up goes, well maybe that is a serious issue for social conservatives like Fred pretends to be. GOP leaders don't want any Republicans elected who can't do a decent cover-up. It seemes to be a neccessary job skill requirement for most conservatives.

Are you KIDDING? Thompson is NO Reagan. Womanizing, and lazy does NOT = Presidential.

Bill Clinton, anyone?

"god given country?" Are you serious? How many people in this country have forgotten about separation of church and state, keep your BS religious views out of politics.

And some of the founding fathers, like Franklin and Jefferson, were not believers in god, this is not a god given country.

Your dead wrong JR romneys religion does belive in Jesus Christlolol…you should do your research man. Anyway, again, wht does that have to do with anything – his relegion or yours! or the person down the street you should also read the constitution in-regard to religious freedoms. This is all much to do about nothing just fred trying to win points but i think romney will end up with the nomination when all is said and done.

My plan? Just stand back and let these two losers pummel each other into the ground.

It's a win-win.

And Thompson is too lazy for religion, apparently. Read all about it:

http://news.aol.com/elections-blog/2007/09/12/fred-thompson-and-religion/

I find it hard to believe that Romney doesn't believe in Christ. His church is The church of JESUS Christ of latter day saints, not the "mormon church". Your comment labels you as a bigot and displays the ignorance that is tearing this country apart.

Thompson is not anything like Reagan. Thompson plays too many games. He would not be a good president.

Oh, good. They're beginning to swift-boat each other. How presidential they all look tossing cow-flops! or is that flip-flops?

I think its funny to read the comments – I truly believe that people are inherently unintelligent. Those who would say "I support Mitt" – while there is no direct evidence to say he knew about this – do you really want a guy in office with so little control of his people? Then you have those "disenfranchised voters" – the ones who still have Kerry/Edwards and Gore/Lieberman stickers on their cars who say that the Supreme Court decided the elections – if you candidate of choice relies on voters unable to punch a simple ballot – maybe you don't deserve to win (or vote) – if you don't understand what I am saying – find a Republican close by to explain it to you. The country needs a moderate – not a right or left winger – there seems to be only one….not a great choice….but..a fiscal conservative…and a social liberal – Rudy…

JR, Wichita, KS,

The founding fathers shaped this country with the separation of church and state in mind. This is not a "God given" country, it was meant to be a country where anyone of any religion could come without fear of persecution.

In fact, Thomas Jefferson himself was a huge supporter of religious freedom.

I'm no fan of Romney, but know the facts please.

Hey, Josh,
Reagan doesn't equal presidential, if anything, he represents, accidental, president, that is!! He could read a script and took cues, somewhat well! The three worst Presidents in my life time were: Nixon, Reagan and Bush Jr. Each, in their own way, tarnished the American image abroad. with Jr doing the most dastardly damage! All of this shall pass, once America realizes that a Democratic President will undo the damage done by these Incompetents. That candidate is Senator Joe Biden and he should be our next President.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

Romney is caught in one lie after another. I believe he will fade after the New Hampshire vote. People will realize that he is like the old Mark Twain saying about the weather. If you don't like what Romney says stick around it will change. For someone who professes to be Religious he is always making disparaging remarks about people. If he thinks the American people don't get it, he has a rude awakening.

JR from Witchita:

That's an urban legend. You have no idea what you are talking about. Read what another reader posted to a similar comment.

As a previous Methodist and convert later in life to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I have to say that the Christ I worshiped then IS the same Christ I worship now. Absolutely, no different. I still keep in contact with my Methodist Sunday School teacher from my childhood and adore her. She set the foundation for the same Christ I worship today. Those that say otherwise are simply misinformed, and I believe purposely so in many cases. I expect that most that support this view have never even stepped into an LDS church or devoted any serious time to any reading other than anti-Mormon literature which typically selectively chooses controversial issues and uses quotes taken out of context to support mis-leading half truths. I am grateful that those of faiths other than mine have faith in their lives and in particular a belief in Christ. It is however hard for me to understand why members of other faiths attack my faith. I have no interest in attacking theirs. I have no problem with others investigating my church, in fact I invite it. However judging a candidates worthiness to serve as President of the United States based on his faith is disturbing when we consider separation of Church and state. But if you are going to use that for your criteria you better do it for all of the candidates and to the same degree. I think what you find may surprise you. From what I have seen so far, many talk the talk but I’m not convinced they walk the walk. By the way, I will not vote for a candidate simply because he is a Mormon. Harry Reid for example is a Mormon and I strongly disagree with his views. I will vote for the candidate that I think will do the best job based on his track record and my perception on who will do the best job for the country. At this point I am undecided, but have to admit that Mitt is pretty impressive.

I love it when people try to put down Mitt Romney's belief in Christ. I am a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. Our church carries the Saviour's name. We believe in the Jesus Christ that was born in Bethlehem, Atoned for our sins, died on the cross, and rose from the tomb on the third day. Don't mock our belief in Christ. We know He lives and we have the greatest love and respect for Him. And who the heck is Maronni? Go Mitt!!

Romney is going down!!!!!! This country doesn't want a fraud as it's President!

To one of the commentors: A lot of people don't believe in Christ, but believe in God. Mr. Romney does believe in Christ. The name of the church he is a member of is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is a Christian AND believes in God as well. Please don't beat him over the head with his religion. We are all entitled to believe and worship as we wish. People have died for the the right and privilege to worship as they choose. Politics is politics and religion is religion. Let these candidates campaign and let's all vote for who we believe is the right person to lead our nation, the greatest nation on earth. God Bless America!

I'd be much sooner to vote for someone who wasn't "god fearing" and I'm going to run as fast as possible from anyone who's name is mentioned in the same sentence as the name Reagan!!!!

Well, to be fair, Kansas-person, Romney does believe in a god. Maybe isn't exactly not your God, but it is a god.

Fred Fred Fred
Playing Catch Up
Story after story
Well, I guess that's how you play the game. No matter what ya hear as long as ya hear about a candidate enough you'll vote for them. Right?
I hope we are smarter than that by now. If not, according to all I see, we will elect Hillary since she just stays in the headlines. Now, that would be a real shame.

Ask Rommey who Maronni is. Here is a person that doesn't believe in Christ and is running to be president of this God given country.

"reminiscent of ronald reagan"?

Are you KIDDING? Thompson is NO Reagan. Womanizing, and lazy does NOT = Presidential.

Keep it up you 2 morons

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

What I don't understand is why we are even having elections, Just let the Supreme Court appoint a president like they did in 2000. Democracy??? what a joke

I'm going to have to take Mitt's side on this one. From reading the original headlines, I thought this would be a major black eye for Romney's heretofore clean campaign. Upon further reading, however, I see that the campaign's link to the attack site is tenuous at best.
Additionally, I agree with Mr. Madden about the 9/11 anniversary. Fred's campaign has probably hurt itself with this maneuver much more than if they had simply ignored the web site.

like Mick Jagger would say "why are we fighting?"

Talking about remembering the 9-11 victims, it's no surprise that many of those politicians only mention it just it weighs so much in the political scale. They would do anything, I mean anything to be on the news. What a shame!

In the first place Fred Thompsen IS a phoney.This deferral of comment until after today's 9/11 cermonies are over are as insincere as everything else his campaign has ever commented on,even with a 'no comment'.That's just a cheap political ploy all wrapped up in an American flag.
Secondly it just proves that the Republicans have at least as much disunity as the Democrats.

Fred Thompson's people better back up these claims with facts or he's sunk. If he does than Romney is sunk. Either way this is good for the only good candidate on either side, Rudy Giuliani. Fight, fight, fight!

So much for having enough respect for the September 11 anniversary. Thompson is more immature and adolescent than the rest of them.

Romney continues to avoid a true discussion of when his current image/presentation deviates from his history/previous presentation. One of the issues that I am concerned with is "integrity." I don't believe this is a strength of Mitt's.

Looks like Thompson is REALLY In the RACE! GOOD BOY! I Like a guy that's Not afaird to tell some one off when they are playing Dirty Pool!

once again cnn is covering the wrong part of the story.

were any of the accusations on phonyfred.org true? who cares who created the site if the information was true.

One day he says they wait to comment, the next day, they go ahead and comment.

Ron Paul is the only guy who rises above all of this hogwash & drama.

Will the real Fred stand up?

How many other low-life things will Fred do? Take your hat off Fred and show some respect. It's 9/11.

Romney's camp showed a clear disavowal and disapproval of the site.

B-actor calls out Cult Christian for dirty tricks making fun of his well-known lightweightness, gains ground on Sodom & Gomorrah Mayor Rudy. But Rudy can beat her and Fred can't. Tread carefully Repellicans.

The crap is starting and his headed straight for the fan. Just like American counted on for all presidential elections. Have no fear the crap is here! Hear goes the mud slinging is on.

I, too don't know ANYONE who has voted in a poll of this type …
but I am not surprised that someone so reminiscent of Ronald Reagan is pulling away the Republican favor.

"…on a day when politics is traditionally set aside."

How can you make this claim when the Sept. 11 attacks happened only six years ago? Is five years enough to establish a tradition?

Besides, let's not pretend Congress' Sept. 11 commemoration resolution and other events today aren't political in nature. They are. Nobody's setting aside politics for a second.

to be quite honest, fred is not only hard to look at, physically, but is a little too conservative for this ever evolving, modern society. why would anyone vote for a president who would deny any group of individuals their human rights? your children could be a memeber of this community, how does that make you feel?
