Fred Thompson

From the Washington Independent: Here’s a perfect example of how, inside the conservative base, the Scott Brown campaign for Senate in Massachusetts has become a lower-key, more gun-shy version of the push for Doug Hoffman’s unlikely bid in NY-23. Way back on September 28, 2009, a month and a week before the election, former senator and [...]  

Fred Thompson Jr., 60, former resident of Alton, died Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2009, in Rockford. Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. until time of service at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, at Carl E. Ponds Funeral Home, 2429 W. State St. Burial in Abraham...  

Former Sen. Fred Thompson today intensified his party's criticism of President Obama's long deliberation over policy in Afghanistan, announcing that Obama's delay signals that "the war has been lost" and that nothing the president now does will "make any difference." More on Barack Obama  

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 [...]  

Fred Thompson Speaks Out About NY 23:  Specifically, Fred addresses Newt Gingrich.  Listen now! Why We Need Term Limits in Congress:  Last week, we broke a story about Senator Jim DeMint introducing a Constitutional Amendment that would create Term Limits for members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Senator DeMint followed up today with a blog post explaining why we need this amendment. Please read and spread to your friends...  

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...  

Here is video/audio of former Sen. Fred Thompson's Common Sense "Lightning Round" from his radio show yesterday. Fred comments briefly on a whole range of issues in the news. Among other things, Fred said President Obama has been called a lot of things, but a "Decision-Maker" (when it comes to Afghanistan) is not one of them. . . (VIDEO)  

I'm totally against the Afghanistan war, as C&Lers know, and it was lost as soon as Bush and Cheney decided to attack Iraq. Any chance to stabilize that region was lost immediately thereafter. The world had rallied around Afghanistan in such a way that that country could have been reconstructed and repaired by now. So President Obama finds himself in a bad situation caused by conservative beliefs and now there really is only one strategy...  

  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 [...]  

Plus, Newt says we're "misinformed."  

Fred Thompson, the former senator and candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, is upping the ante in the inner Republican party battle over the special election in New York's 23rd congressional district by starring in an ad for Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate. Thompson, who first endorsed Hoffman last month, has recently been joined by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in endorsing...  

Interview from November 6 (thanks to James)....  

Statement via e-mail: "I am delighted that the Republicans and many Independents are coming together. We have a real opportunity to send a real message to Washington. Now, let's finish the job."(For more on Thompson, see "Final Countdown")  

Have we even posted about the comical NY-23 special congressional election yet? Don’t think so! Fortunately lazy Hollywood dandy Fred “Dipshit McGoo” Thompson, who pretended to run for president once, for about two months, before losing miserably everywhere, has provided us with the perfect on-ramp here. He, along with Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, most Republican [...]
