"Conservative principels? Common sense?"
yadda- yadda- yadda ... we've had 6 years of what was promised to be conservative principels, ethics, common sense, fiscal responsibility and toss in God for good measure.

Just look at the recent past ... to all those who are promising conservative common sense, that's my clue to vote for someone else! Been there, done that and have the t-shirt (although Bush thugs won't let me wear it)

Fred Thompson should stick to acting. He's no Reagan...which isn't saying much. Reagan was way over-rated as he was asleep during his presidency as much as G.W. Bush has been on vacation.

Mr. Thompson, once the white knight of the G.O.P. centrists, seems to have lost his way and, as a result, any momentum upon which he could have relied to be considered a viable candidate. That train has left the station....

To Fred Thompson, you can't buy Iowa, you can't even rent Iowa!

I'm very happy Kim from MI educated us on the ways in which a Republican might pander. So regardless if it's true in practice, one of the core principles of the GOP had always been a belief in conservatism. Perhaps she can clarify if she thinks that a candidate trying to cast himself as most in the image of the core party principle is pandering any moreso than when Democrats consistently lick the labor unions' boots.

He needs more ads ASAP, in order to revibe his campaign he needs to hit Giuliani and Romney hard, now!

I'm guessing his ad won't mention all the lobbying he did for PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

Thompson should really activate his campaign ASAP, as he is looking increasingly weaker in election polls - for example in a general election poll from Kentucky out the otehr day in which he is much much weaker than the GOP can afford to be.

Let's see if he can fool the people in Iowa like he did the people in Tennessee while he was in the Senate. Go back to acting, Fred.

It's just plain old pandering when all the Republican's seem to do is argue about who is most "conservative?"

How about what YOU would do? I saw Fred on the Sunday morning talking head shows, and while he is obviously intelligent and well spoken, he talked mostly about what should be done, not what he would do.

However, he seemed pretty adament and level headed when he talked about states rights, and how un-practical it would be to try to lock people up for things like abortions or gay marriage.

Can you be a card carrying conservative but not try to force other people to your will?

Is this guy still in the race?

I thought he slept through the filing period.
