1. Fred Thompson has the Dems running scared so they are pulling out their bag of dirty tricks. Makes Fred look pretty good to me.

2. Unless Fred dumps Spencer A. I will not support unless he becomes the Rep nominee. Now I am back to Tancredo since he is the only one to call out the global jihad threat correctly.

3. I'm a democrat and trust me we're not afraid of Fred...at all. He might get the nomination, although i do doubt it, but he is a terrible speaker and his record of laziness speaks for itself. In fact, we're not scared of any of the Republicans. If this is the best you can come up with, you are handing the dems a victory. SO because of that, i guess i should thank Fred, and Rudy, & everyone else, especially Bush. Because you all are doing all the work, and just making us dems look better and better.

4. As for the currant crop of hopefuls running , I'm not thrilled with any of them . They are all woefully lacking on various issues . The ONLY ones that SCARE the others party are the ones with little history to refer back on. For the Dems it is Obama. Nothing to brag about but then again , not much to critique. For the Republicans it's Fred , for the same reasons and he hasn't even thrown his hat in the ring . The Dems are scared alright , that's a fact.

5. I am not proud that a Democrat did this, but believe me, as a Democratic activist who follows these matters, the Democrat who posted the "dirty trick" domain name was taking a page out of the Republican dirty trick book. This very thing was done during the last election many times--I can remember a particularly vicious web site that came up first when you googled "Dennis Kucinich for President" and it looked exactly like his own website graphically, but had articles progressively worse and worse--quoting him (wrongly) as stating communist statements and finally, at the bottom of the page, standing with Martians. At least it was absurd enough at the end that people knew it must be a spoof, but if they didn't read far enough, it could have been very misleading and damaging. This sort of thing has been done to Democrats many times before. I could write a book about horrible things done in my state to our candidates, and we don't return the nastiness. If we ever hear of someone doing so, we stop them--we make a serious effort to police our own.
Recently, we found that a "stolen" Republican candidate's campaign float had actually been stolen by that candidate's relative so that they could make a big deal accusing the Democratic opponent of doing it. I wonder if the Fred Harris website has even been posted by a Democrat, or by a Republican who wants to smear Democrats. I've seen it happen before. . . .

6. Sorry, in the previous email, I meant "Fred Thompson," not "Fred Harris." You can tell that I'm not very afraid of him--I have trouble remembering his name. . . .

7. I;d like to see a presidential race where the problems are more important than the people who are running and supposed to help solve the problems. we;ve had the rep. in and instead of things getting better there worse.we have all these new programs coming up that will possibly last two years. like swiping your bus pass instead of showing your pic and the date why don;t we just go to the finger printing and get it done stop wasting money.also if you want to be able to collect welfare funds and disability funds as an american citizen you should be an active voter. I can;t see giving lazy fat butts not taking advantage of something that the women fought for years ago.cut your checks and your the first in a welfare line to see where your moneys gone.now I see Girls who have illegetimate children getting disability because they can;t get welfare.
since when is it a disability to give birth to a child if you can run the streets and get in that condition you can support it after its born.and I;m talking about this because their is so much today young beautiful girls uneducated because family members don;t want to be bothered what does that say about the future of the baby.if they want something to love get a pet and see how they do with that.

8. I like the Dems. confidence and wish that it will continue until election day when they find that the American people don't care for their extreme left ideas and higher taxes that this do nothing congress has shown to be the height of their desires

9. I've known Fred Thompson personally since 1979. I drank Tenn. moonshine with him at Lamar Alexander's first gubernatorial election victory party. The moonshine was furnished by Congressman Robin Beard, of Williamson County. He loves status, he loves a good time, he is lazy. He is also 200% more conservative than he was in '79. He so conservative he scares me. I will admit that I am a MODERATELY conservative Republican. If my party nominates Thompson then we will for sure give the White House to Hillary. I'm liking Mike Bloomberg more everyday.

10. We need Fred Thompson. He is very smart and will make a good president. Right now I haven't seen a republican or democrat I would vote in the White House. Fred Thompson is the man!

carol at 2:55PM on Aug 10th 2007

11. He's the only Repub. who has a chance of keeping that carpetbagging bitch out of the White House

12. His name is Fred Thompson. Remember it because someone, next year, is going to ask you "who is your president"?
You will look pretty stupid if you don't remember it.

14. I voted for George and think he was dropped into an undesirable position when the man Clinton let get away killed over 3000 Americans. I think if his head had been somewhere north of his belt he would have taken the Son of a ^%$#@^ out when he had the chance.I really like that Fred Thompson left politics because of the do nothing attitude of Senate, Congress, and the President. I am for him 1000%. I don't think Americans are ready for women or black president. Just one man's opinion.

15. Sorry, NixGUy, but Fred has been whining lately about being "the target of Democrats." What does he think politics is, a Sunday pinic? Does Fred think he just gets to stroll right into the White House?
Politics is ugly and dirty...Republican play dirty, so why shouldn't Democrats?
Maybe 'ole Fred isn't such a tough guy after all...just plays one on TV.
