Fred Thompson is the best

[Frank Magdefrau]

It sure was breath of fresh air to hear a great speaker like Fred Thompson tonight.

I never really new how much pain and suffering Sen. McCain went through for our country until tonight. I never really new how this man was put to the test day by day and year by year. 5 1/2 years as a pow, WOW Fred Thompson is right, leaders from the dawn of time character was proven first long before they were ever placed into power to lead.

Sen. McCain is the the most trusted person to lead our nation in this election.

Country First and as always.

And just what are you on?

[Randy D. Stufflebeem]

Pretty straight forward speech. Nothing vague or empty!

[Michael R. Boyett]

..and then long time Democrat Joe Lieberman resoundingly endorses McCain.

[Joe Farsetta]

Robert is obviously a die-hard Chicago politico. he hails from that bastion of political corruption. No wonder he canot see good in anything which opposes his precious Obama.

Discount his political comments. He cant help himself.

Should Obama win, he will say he told us so.
Should Obama lose, he may call foul.

Only time will tell. Fred Dalton Thompson's speech was excellent tonight. Will it rev up those sitting on the fence? We cannot say at this time.

But, let's give credit where credit is due; it was one hell of a speech.

He was a Democrat for a long time...but the party in his state refused to nominate him for another term in the Senate. They nominated a different person to be their Democratic senator. He had to run as an Independent candidate and was supported by the Republicans against the Democratic contender.

Thus...he was a Democrat...but now is an Independent elected by the Republicans in his state.

[Michael R. Boyett]

Yes, he apparently finally saw the light and moved from the dark side

I preferred Thompson when he played along with James Garner in the HBO movie "Barbarians at the Gate" where he and Garner were executives from RJ Reynolds trying to sell the "smokeless cigarette".

Doesn't that speak volumes to what the Democratic party has become?

Aw, come on Frank, it was at best a good performance by a creditable actor with a great script, that's what the guy does for a living!! He was nearly as good as Charlton Heston on the NRA don't ya think?

Just another silly attempt to discredit someone endorsing McCain.

He would do the same thing if Reagan himself endorsed McCain.

Interstingly enough.....I don't think Reagan ever did endorse McCain. Did he?

According to Ronald Reagan's son, Michael, McCain would not be endorsed by his father:

Michael Reagan

Until last night, when I watched the Republican debate, I had no idea how much John McCain dislikes me and just about everybody else but Rudy Giuliani, who if you believe The New York Times is a pretty good hater himself.

As I watched McCain and Governor Romney go at it during the debate at the Reagan Library I was struck by the huge gap that separates McCain -- whose contempt for his fellow humans is patently obvious -- and my dad, Ronald Reagan, who had nothing but the deepest affection and respect for the American people.

The feeling is mutual between McCain and me. I don’t like the way he treats people. You get the impression that he thinks everybody is beneath him. He seems to be saying, “I was a war hero, and you had damn well better treat me as your superior.”

He has contempt for conservatives who he thinks can be duped into thinking he’s one of them, despite such blatantly anti-conservative actions as his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants, his opposition to the Bush tax cuts which got the economy rolling again, and his campaign finance bill which skewed the political process and attacked free speech.

I am appalled by his contempt for the intelligence of his listeners when he flat-out lies and expects them to believe what he says even when the truth is staring them in the face.

A prime example cited by columnist Robert Novak was McCain’s denial that he had privately suggested that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was too conservative, insisting that he recalled saying no such thing, adding that Alito was a "magnificent" choice.

“In fact,” wrote Novak, “multiple sources confirm that the senator made negative comments about Alito nine months ago.”

In last night’s debate, McCain stubbornly defended his charge, false on the face of it, that Romney wanted a deadline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

"I have never, ever supported a specific timetable" for withdrawing troops, Romney said, adding that McCain's accusation on the eve of Tuesday's primary "sort of falls into the dirty tricks that I think Ronald Reagan would have found reprehensible."

What Romney said last April, was merely that U.S. and Iraqi leaders "have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about" in private, which in no way suggests he was in any sense talking about troop withdrawals.

Despite the evidence, McCain charged that "of course he said he wanted a timetable" for a withdrawal, even though he had never said any such thing. It was McCain daring to ask us if we wanted to believe our lying eyes or his demonstrably false allegation.

McCain must think conservatives are dumb enough to allow him to get away with claiming he’s one of them. This is from a man who opposed drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and who twice voted against President Bush’s tax cuts and sponsored the campaign-finance reform legislation that Romney claimed "took a whack at the First Amendment."

In John McCain’s eyes, conservatives are the Viet Cong of this generation and he treats us as such. It’s either his way or no way.

I despise his habit of talking down to us, like a wise father to an idiot son. He’s just at a loss to understand why everybody doesn’t grovel at his feet and accept his every word as wisdom handed down from his lofty perch atop Mt. Olympus.

I can’t help it. I know in my heart he hates me, and every conservative. If he gets the nomination the only way he could win against Hillary or Barack Obama would be to be part of a McCain-Limbaugh ticket.

Perhaps you have forgotten:

Jim I am becoming more and more surprised by your posts.
