Too bad he didn't really want it. He would have been the best choice of those running.

Let's say the writers settle their differences with the movie/TV industry real soon. And the producers of "Law & Order" have a difficult choice. Ask Fred Thompson to return or have Sam Waterston continue to play the district attorney.(What a dilemma...on the other hand, ABC might want him to continue subbing for Paul Harvey.)

If only Rudy would take your cue. Flip flop Romny, Schuckabee and McStain should be thankful, and drop out, lending all their support to the only Republican that can beat ANY DEMOCRAP running: RON PAUL.

Thanks for leaving the race. Hopefully Rudy and huckabee are next. All people running for president in the republican party are members of the CFR as are Hillary, obama and edwards. The only person who isn't is Ron Paul. Do your research people, Ron Paul is the best candidate out there. (If you don't know what the CFR is research it)

I won’t even dignify what Thompson does in the parts he’s cast with the word “acting,” I’ve seen middle schoolers who have more going for them thespian-wise than FDT does. The most noteworthy thing about him as a performer is the way he has to rearrange his jowls in order to get his lines out, plus the way he can barely manage to negotiate his way around the set without hitting the furniture when the script has him walking and talking, a trademark of L&O that made his hiring even more peculiar than his inability to suggest a genuine human being. Not to mention that no one who sounds and thinks like his Arthur Branch character did could possibly be elected to borough-wide office in Manhattan. But then no one could have achieved what AB was supposed to have done in private life with that ludicrous hick accent either. He’d have been laughed out of the locker room at the country club, and denied access to the boardroom wherever he worked.

It’s been known since early last year that the Writers Guild strike was almost certainly going to happen, and that it was likely to last a long time. As a result of this, a lot of TV shows went into overdrive, rushing scripts into final versions, and shooting episodes earlier than usual and at a much faster pace than normal. I’m guessing Thompson didn’t like the idea of having to work that hard, so he raised him up some money and ran for President instead. He had to know he couldn’t possibly win campaigning at the lackluster, sluggish pace he did, but I doubt that he cared. He got to sock away mountains of cash that he can now keep, and probably had more down time for himself than he’s had in years. Nice work, if you can get it.

Citizen, you can't make it too hard for the Romney, Shuckabee and McStain crowd: Council on Foreign Relations=CFR.

If only there was a way for the Republican party to 'amalgamize' their prospective list of Presidential candidates, into one person! They need someone, with the looks & wealth of Romney,the 'steely' conservative views of Thompson, the proven successful qualities of Giuliani & the 'war-hero' record of McCain! That, would be a candidate!
And, oh yes, could the public have that mythical candidate truly espouse the conservative views of the millions of our citizens, who are 'crying out' for a leader that
that will put the welfare of U.S. citizens first! After all,they should remember that,"WE THE PEOPLE",are still the ones that put them in office!

But Fred if you drop out ...

Who will help Mugabe and the ANC?

Who will make abortion legal at nine months again?

Who will keep trading with China?

Who will keep saying Russia is our friend?

Who will keep letting in millions of illegals to ruin our country?

Who won't try to save the culture?

Who will keep dumbing down our kids in the public schools?

Who will keep destroying our unity and ruining our productivity and greatness as a nation with Affirmative Action?

Who?

Who?

Oh, Hillary and Obama, that's right!

Keep outing the CFR. They are the vampire that needs the stake.

Way to go Bernie.

Yes, go Ron Paul!!!

I don't think he can win though. The nation is too far gone re: TV, public schools, CFR, Madison Avenue, Hollywood, 16 years of Bill and Bushie Bushie Jr, women's lib, Hugh Hefner, porn ...

American's don't know the truth because they can't know the truth. Everything is a lie and upside down so the truth is too far out there for the average person to comprehend. And most people are busy just trying to make ends meet!

The elites have spent decades planning this collapse.

We can't fight it. Maybe we can survive.

Rent that TV series "Jericho" as a primer.

At least you have the smarts to see what's going on!

Good luck to you.

Fred was only in the race to take votes away from Huck & Rom.

Bush / Cheney want McCain.

Wake Up!

Also the longer Edwards stays in the race he takes away votes from Obama and Hillary will win!

Smarten Up!

Sincerely,
Santa Claus
