SERIOUS ETHICAL QUESTIONS IMPLICATE FRED THOMPSON Ethical Questions of PAC Money/CORRUPTION WEIGH Down Republican Presidential Candidate Fred Thompson is he truly what he says he is or is he JUST another run in the MILL political FAKE? Note from Editor Marc Chamot I have lost a lot of respect for Fred Thompson, not because of this potential career ending scandal waiting in the works for him, because he waited so long to throw his hat in the ring and avoided most Republican candidates debates while others stood thick and thin from the beginning possibly because of these revelations. His indecision to run also shows ... Read Full Story

Fred Thompson is surging in the political polls, and he isn't even officially running for president yet. Giuliani still leads the Republican pack with 28% of the poll results. He is down 4 points from two weeks earlier. Fred Thompson is now in second at 19% of the poll, up 8 points in only 2 weeks. John McCain is hovering at 18% with little movement. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is fourth at 7%. Mitt dropped by the largest percentage in the last 2 weeks. McCain's campaign seems to be having a hard time gaining momentum: "It's a long campaign and it's only June, ... Read Full Story

Republican presidential candidate and former Tennessee Senator, Fred Thompson, has dropped his bid for the White House Monday, after failing to make any significant gains in the early Republican primaries. “Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” Thompson said in a statement. Read Full Story

George Will, a conservative columnist for the Washington Post, has picked up on what Thompson supporters are beginning to realize... he's no conservative knight in shining armor. He goes so far as to compare Fred Thompson to "New Coke" a 1985 marketing and product failure for the CocaCola Company. I highly suggest reading the article here: "A Rocky Rollout For Thompson." Bob Novak, known his role in the Valarie Plame incident and his use of a choice word before storming off the set at CNN, is also a very credible and incredibly connected Washington Post writer. He op-ed's about problems within the Thompson campaign, ... Read Full Story

In April 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that the war in Iraq was “lost” and that the surge was “not accomplishing anything.” Conservatives and war hawks ripped into Reid for the comment, calling it “reckless,” “disturbing” and “playing to the worst elements of the antiwar left.” One of the fiercest critics of Reid’s [...]

  Karzai Rots.       Fred Thompson addressed his radio audience (above) with a concise and entirely accurate measure of the Obama administration’s incompetence with regard Afghanistan. POTUS has stalled and manipulated the McChrystal request for additional resources, and this peculiar commander-in-chief conduct has exasperated the public and puzzled the politicians. Why did POTUS call Afghanistant [...]

I have a lot of respect for Fred Thompson, and in this particular case I think his point is precisely correct on the merits, but there are just some things that opponents of the President shouldn't say during wartime, and maybe it's just bad phrasing or just being provocative, but this is one of them:

As Kathryn noted, today Senator Fred Thompson declared, “It really doesn't matter how President Obama divides the Afghan baby, how he splits the difference between McChrystal and Biden. Because the war has been lost.”  That’s right, Senator Thompson has declared America’s defeat in Afghanistan.  Read it here. I have a high regard for Senator Thompson, and greatly appreciated his robust and courageous support for the Iraq surge in 2007. But on...

There's a new star in the conservative movement. His name is Doug Hoffman, and he's an unlikely figure to have risen to such prominence so quickly, seeing as how he's running as a third-party candidate in a special election to fill a congressional seat traditionally held by a Republican. But conservatives are unhappy with the Republican Party's nominee, Dede Scozzafava; they think she's too liberal. So big names like former Alaska Gov. Sarah...
