Thompson sounded good at first, but can you imagine him as commander-in-chief and the face of America to the world? He obviously has a solid conservative platform, but like McCain (noted below), he really lacks the electability to defeat the Dems on the national scene.
Huckabee IS a Republican Jimmy Carter. A soft-spoken southern governor with no foreign policy experience. Just one term of Jimmy Carter, who disavowed Taiwan (adding to a current military headache), created grief with Iran (once an ally), and has since aided North Korea last long enough to build nuclear weapons and insulted our Israeli allies. Let’s not elect him, PLEASE!
I’m a military vet, so I honor McCain for his dedication to our country as a POW. He has also done a lot of good as a middle-aisle Republican. But can you see him beating the zeal of Obama or the Clinton-appeal in a national election? As honorable as he is, his past shouldn’t blind the GOP to the fact he isn’t electable against the two leading novelty candidates ond the Dems ticket.
Say what you will about Mitt switching his opinion on issues … he’s on the right side now. He has vision, he’s obviously very bright, he’s helped raise a model family of his own, and as so many point out, he has had a tremendous impact on organizations which he has led. Romney might actually have the appeal that can reverse the political shift to the left in the House and Senate. Looks, charisma, intellect, record … why are we even considering other candidates?!?

Mr Cameron,

Can you not give Thompson a break. Every one of you commenatries, here and on TV, are always dismissing his chances. A good example is the first line of your article “Fred Thompson’s lagging campaign finds solace….” You wrote him off a long time ago along with other FNC personnel, analysts, and the MSM. It would be nice if you saw his campaign from a more positive view much like you do with the so called “front runners.” Just my 2 cents!

So what have you done so far.

Or is he different now.

Sorry, too late. The mess this country is in does
cannot afford another, I’m gonna do candidate.

All the rest of the candidates are another
four years (or eight years) of the SOS.

Help yourself. Stand up to our law, the only law
what protects us.

Ron Paul

I jut talked with author David Jeffers, who endorsed Fred this morning. He sid that Huckabee’s support amongst Christian conservatives is a strong as it’s being supposed. Huckabee isn’t liked by big church Southrn Baptist Convention pastors. That’ll go a long ways towards minimizing Huckabee’s support with evangelical Christians.

PREDICTION: Fred wins South Caolina.

Is McCain sure that he wants to win Michigan? If Romney’s supporters start moving to Thompson in
South Carolina, it could turn into an avalanche – And Florida is the kind of closed primary where
McCain wants to avoid a one-on-one with a conservative at all costs.

The Southern states voting for McCain doesn’t make sense at all.

McCain no friend to POW families and has back stabbed them every step

Wife of POW Navy Pilot, Who Had Husband’s Remains Sent Home By North Vietnamese in 1989, Was Lied to by U.S. Officials For Years About His Whereabouts And POW Status

Diane Van Renselaar says she still hasn’t gotten the truth about her husband from the military and lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain who she claims is ‘no friend’ of POW families and has back stabbed them every step of the way toward getting at the truth.
31 Oct 2005
http://www.arcticbeacon.com/articles/31-oct-2005.html
By Greg Szymanski

The remains of captured Navy pilot, Larry Van Renselaar, came home in a body bag, sent back by the North Vietnamese in 1989, after his wife put up a 20 year fight against a corrupt U.S. government, concealing her husband’s whereabouts as a POW for political expediency reasons.

Instead of telling Diane Van Rensaleer her husband was alive and in a slave labor camp, the lying contingent of morally irreprehensible politicians and military brass concealed his status, closing the official book on the pilot in 1978 even though credible CIA intelligence information revealed he was still alive in 1987, two years before he arrived home in a body bag.

“Larry was shot down on September 30, 1968. They closed his case in 1978. In fact, John McCain, who is a very dangerous and violent man, was the driving force behind closing all the POW files, classifying records in order to keep the truth from the families and the American people,” said Van Rensaleer this week from her home in Corte Madera, California.

“McCain is even more dangerous than Bush. I don’t want to see this man ever become President and that’s why I want this story out because he is one of the biggest liars in our government and, by no means, a friend of the POW families.

“After backstabbing all of us, hiding the truth about the POW story, I wish they would have kept him in a prison camp for life like so many others who didn’t have his military and political clout. If they lied to us about this, just think about the lies spread about 9/11 and the present-day war in Iraq?”

Van Renselaar’s story is just another in a growing number of cases, showing the deceit, deception and outright lies advanced by the Pentagon, Congress and the Executive towards POW family members seeking the truth about their loved ones,

The cold, hard facts, said Rensaleer’s wife, is the U.S. government has left thousands of prisoners left behind, telling family members they were “missing, presumed dead” when high-ranking scoundrel-Senators John Kerry and McCain continue to advance government lies started after World War II by then President Eisenhower.

Van Rensalaar, a leading activist for more than 30 years in bringing home POW’s who still may be alive in North Korea and Vietnam, started the search for the POW truth after her husband was taken prisoner, but over the years the story has grown wings larger than expected, revealing government corruption and lies at the highest levels, including Kerry, McCain, former President George H. Bush and many others.

Her long and difficult quest of searching for the truth has opened up so many cans of political worms, most high-ranking officials like McCain and “Daddy Bush” run and hide when they see her face in the halls of government.

Perhaps it’s guilt, knowing the real truth or wanting to save their political hides, but without question these high-ranking, two-faced politicians want nothing to do with the likes of Renselaar, once being on the board of directors of the National League of POW/MIA Families.

“In 1992, when George H. Bush was giving a political speech with many of the POW families gathered in a large hotel ballroom trying to get answers, I said straight to his face: ‘we can help you get elected if you just tell us the truth about the POW’s,’” said Van Renselaar, who added Bush basically ignored her request, but had his jaw drop to the floor when she mentioned the name of Lt. Col. William Atkins, a man who told her many sordid things about Bush, including his involvement with the Iran-Contra scandal when Col. Atkins acted as an intermediary between Bush and Oliver North.

“When I told him, again straight to his face, that ‘you know Col. Atkins briefed you about many things, including the truth of the POW’s,’ he look at me with wide-open eyes, saying nothing, but his jaw literally dropped to the floor.

“I talked to Col. Atkins many times about CIA files he had uncovered with Oliver North about John McCain, telling the real truth about McCain’s POW captivity. Also, Atkins told me he was a liaison between Bush and North, the pair traveling on Irish passports during Iran-Contra.

The Iran-Contra Affair, also known as “Irangate”, took place in the mid-1980s. A political scandal of wide-ranging proportions where President Ronald Reagan’s administration sold arms to Iran, an avowed enemy.

At the time, Americans were being held hostage by Islamic terrorists in Lebanon, and it was hoped that Iran would influence the terrorists to release the hostages. At the same time, Iran, which was in the midst of the Iran-Iraq War, could find few nations willing to supply it with weapons.

The U.S. diverted proceeds from the sale to the Contras, anti-Communist guerrillas engaged in an insurgency against the socialist, democratically elected Sandinista government of Nicaragua.

Both the sale of weapons and the funding of the Contras violated stated administration policy as well as legislation passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress, which had blocked further Contra funding.

Col. Atkins, who became a friend and close confident of Van Renselaar and other POW family members, was arrested in 1992 for his involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal, a twist of fate she said preventing him from testifying about the real truth about McCain and the POW lies advanced by lawmakers and the military.

“I know for a fact Sen. Bob Smith, who was trying to help us get at the truth in the Senate hearings on the POW issue, never got a chance to depose Col Atkins since he was arrested and then jailed for years over Iran-Contra,” said Van Renselaar, adding it “was very strange” how Atkins was left to rot in a District of Columbia jail system until at least 1999. “They didn’t want him to talk about a lot of things, but he talked to me about McCain’s CIA file and many things the senator wants kept from the American people.

“People need to know the truth about McCain. He sealed his own records, as well the records of all POW’s, so he could continue lying about his POW experience. He was never tortured, never in a dog-cell like the other prisoners and never deprived of food.

In fact, Col. Atkins, who died in 2001 of a cerebral hemorrhage, told Renselaar that when he and North acquired McCain’s CIA file it showed he was out of the system for at least two years, being in an eastern European country instead of being in solitary confinement in a Vietnam jail cell like he has told the public.

To verify Atkins’ claim, Van Renselaar said she has talked to several Vietnam POW’s in the same camp McCain was s held, including Larry Larson, who told her “without a doubt I didn’t see McCain for at least a year.”

Further, she added John Parcels, a former helicopter pilot, and his wife, Patty, who visited Vietnam after the war, said they were taken on a tour by the North Vietnamese, who showed-off with pride the ‘plush cell’ in which McCain was held as well as the memorial in his honor put up by the banks of Lake Hanoi.

“Why have the North Vietnamese honored him? What did McCain tell them and how was he really treated?” questioned Van Renselaar, adding Parcels said McCain’s prison cell was of a much higher standard then the other dog-cells prisoners were given.

“They gave him special treatment and it is documented he was even out of the country for two years instead of being in solitary confinement. He is lying about what happened and that is why he had his own POW records sealed for life. He was never tortured, never deprived of food and I’ve even learned he may even have fathered two children after having an affair with his Vietnamese nurse.

“According to my very credible Vietnamese contacts he had an affair with the sister of Nguyen Tan Thanh, a high-placed North Vietnamese official. Since they knew McCain was the son of A Navy Admiral, he was given a special nurse, Tan’s sister. I’ve been told he fathered two sons with her, one attending the University Of Colorado, Up until now, though, we haven’t been able to get their names.”

Besides what Renselaar calls McCain’s “pack of POW lies” about his real record of captivity, she recalls her husband saying McCain was not well-like by him or other pilots when they were under his direction before the Vietnam War when McCain was an operation’s officer at a Meridian, Miss., flight-training center.

“I remember my husband saying he was not well-liked and thought of as a hot dog and a punk,” said Van Renselaar. “And nothing has changed over the years. Once when POW families were outside his Senate office on Capital Hill demanding answers, he pushed his way through the crowd in a violent manner refusing to answer questions, almost knocking a POW supporter over in her wheel chair.”

And last week to keep Renselaar’s fight alive, as well as the entire POW issue, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) has now taken up the cause on Capital Hill to get the truth out about the thousands of living POW’s still incarcerated in political prisons around the world.

Last Friday, Rep. Paul held a press conference to revive the issue, officially sending to each legislator on Capital Hill a copy of an historic video called “Missing, Presumed Dead: The Search for American POW’s,” in an attempt to open new hearings, being introduced under House Resolution 123.

House Resolution 123 seeks to force Congress to investigate “all the unresolved matters relating to any United States personnel unaccounted for from the Vietnam era, the Korean conflict, WW II, the Cold War missions and the Gulf Wars, including all issues regarding MIA’s and POW’s.

In a portion of the video, written and directed by Hollywood producer, Bill Dumas, former Sen. Bob Smith, pushed out of pubic life, said he was convinced from the evidence that there are many men still alive in political prison camps in both Korea and Vietnam.

“We should accept the evidence and move ahead to find these men,” Sen. Smith said in the documentary.

GO FRED!!!! Great ad and what’s really great about it is that it’s true, straightforward and no nonsense. Come on, South Carolina…you can do this. Put Fred over the top and let’s get this man elected.

RED TRUCK RISING FROM THE TENNESSEE HILLS!!!!

Our schools , our hospitals are overburdened, Education of our children is Suffering , Lack of good teachers etc. Mccains wants to bring in Every immigrant for Free education, free medical And who is Suffering because Senators like him and Kennedy are more concerned with Illegals than Americans,
Fred Thompson/ Duncan Hunter/ Mitt Romney are concerned with American,
I can’t understand how Any American Can vote for the Scum of John Mccain who has a proven record of turning agaist American Soldiers, Americans Education, . see his record: http://www.numbersusa.com, See the records of All candidates,

Isn’t america worth a Responsible vote?

I think Fred Thompson might be the only man I ever want to kiss! (not really) But he is saying EXACTLY what I need to hear a Republican say. McCain and his shamnisty, Shuckabee and his education for illegals, Gulliani and his sanctuary cities… FRED FRED FRED

Go Fred, Go! I have faith in you, 100%! It is good to see some action moving Fred’s way in S.C. Once we really focus on the issues, it is obvious who the true conservative is!

GO FRED!!!! Great ad—true, straightfoward, no nonsense. Come on South Carolina—you can do this. Put Fred over the top and the rest of us will do our part!!! He is the whole package!!!

RED TRUCK RISING FROM THE TENNESSEE HILLS.

If Fred is tied for second how is his campaign “lagging”? After Fred wins South Carolina will that provide additional “solace for his lagging campaign”? Time for a new narrative. Your current template is a bit outdated and so predictable. In fact, Carl, you are better than that. I thought the questions you asked at the South Carolina debate were excellent. I will assume that you had a drive by journalism intern write the intro to this posting. Overall, your reporting is excellent.

I’m looking forward to a landslide victory for Fred Thompson in South Carolina in the #1 slot!! He is by far the best qualified for the Presidency of the United States!! Visit fred08.com to find out more about this great patriot who will put America first in terms of national security, low taxes, and a prosperous economy! He’s not changed his positions…he has the same conservative beliefs he’s always had, and he won’t change with which way the wind is blowing! Thank you for reading!

I’m really hoping Fred can make a surprise showing in SC! He deserves more of the “free air” than he’s getting. (hint hint).

I’m sure all you media dogs will be running behind him with your tongues out when this DOES happen….:)

Check out Fred’s site…the FredHeads are going to shovel some more money into his campaign – midnite goal of 1mil, but I’m sure it will come before that. (hey, I have an idea, why don’t YOU be the FIRST to report that??)

SCOOP SCOOP.

Enjoy,

NY4FRED

Fred Storm Rising!

Let’s show the media that we are not going to allow them to pick our next president! Go Fred.

Oh and tonight we are trying to get people to send $10 to Fred at 10PM. Since I expect the servers to be busy feel free to make that 10PM in your timezone.

To add two more bits of good Fred! news this Monday evening, Fred08.com has easily surpassed $1 million in donations, including several thousand in the past few minutes, and also Fred08.com has passed all other GOP candidate websites in page views and web ranking on Alexa.com as of the 12th. Anybody gonna still argue Fred isn’t viable?

If you want a strong economy, individual rights, states rights, and constitutional integrity ignore the polls and vote for MITT ROMNEY! He is a true Republican who listens, learns and Leads. His problem-solving skills honed in private business will bring efficiency in government and fiscal control. Only as we strengthen our economy can we accomplish our other goals. Since Romney has the greatest know-how for creating and holding jobs and growing the economy, a vote for Romney is a vote to strengthen our nation.

Why do my comments never show? I’ve commented a half dozzen times and none have appeared yet.

Thank You Carl! For showing us the Fred Surge is WORKING! WTG Fred! and WTG Carl, Thank You

McCain leading polls in S.C. Have the people in SC forgot this past summer and how John McCain strongly supported the amnisty deal for all 12 to 20 million illegal aliens here in our country. I hope everyone thinks about that before they vote.

A few of you came up with giving $10 at 10:00 tonight. Well, I liked the idea so much I convinced the rest of the campaign to get behind it. We sent an e-mail out to our small donors asking them to give $10 at 10:00 local time.

Small donors are the backbone of Fred’s grassroots effort. $10 may not seem like a lot, but when thousands of people give it amounts to real financial support.

After Fred stood up for the true values of the Republican party at the last debate, people started to take notice. There is still hope, there is still time to nominate an actual conservative!

Vote Fred South Carolina!

Fred must prevail!
I don’t understand people who say the race is still early, but Fred’s coming on too late. Too late for what? People make no sense. They also said McCain was dead, but at the last minute he is now alive. Why wasn’t it too late for him?
Wake up America, this is not a game. The Conservative base is shrinking in the Republican party, but it’s not too late to claim it back. You want people like John McCain or Mike Huckabee in the Oval Office, then you are basically saying you give up on the Republican Party ever going back to it’s Ronald Reagan Conservative roots. I don’t want to hear things like “Well, Fred just isn’t energizing enough”. Do you want fluff or do you want substance? Fred tells it like it is and that’s exactly what this country needs.
Show your guts and show your spirit this Saturday South Carolina and vote for the only true Conservative in this race – Fred Thompson.

Why no comments here for Fred Thompson ?

The money is coming in at a steady pace and has the red pick-up at over a million $ so far.

No Amnesty to illegals , what a novel concept !

Now America’s last best chance, look at his nice family and young children. He will do what is right for America.

Please support Fred Thompson. I did.

Finally, it’s Monday… four days long after the FoxNews SC debate, and we have a poll showing what many in SC are suspecting: Fred Thompson is beginning to surge. As before, it will be important to watch the “trend” lines for the last two weeks of polling in SC. Another sign of Thompson’s surge is the Yahoo! Buzz hits he is getting… he is getting that important “second look”.

GO FRED! It’s about time the media starting recognizing that at the last debate you woke up and inspired a lot of us republicans that were disappointed with the dismal candidates running for the republican nomination. I know it’s not too late. All you SC voters, the fate of the republican party is in your hands. VOTE THOMPSON, the only true conservative in the race!!!

This is great! We just finished raising a more than a million dollars for Fred and the momentum is great! South Carolina is Fred territory.

That said Huckabee is bleeding votes now which is good to see. I don’t understand how anyone could support the man after his record on pardons. He is the Republican Michael Dukakis. The Dumond and Maxwell cases are horrible. He encouraged parole in the Dumond case and granted clemency to Maxwell, both later killed again and those are but two instances out of more than 1000 criminals he released.

http://www.americablog.com/2007/12/huckabee-let-lots-more-criminals-off.html

Fred is all rhetoric and no substance. Sure he sounds good but he has absolutely no results to show for his time in the Congress. As for his attacks on Huckabee, anyone that lives in Arkansas can tell you Fred is just spinning a yarn. I urge anyone that is seriously debating whether Huckabee’s credentials are legit to go to his website http://www.mikehuckabee.com to learn about his stance on issues, check out the blogs that people are replying to and if desired, check into numerous publications, commentary and articles that validate Mike’s points. He’s a man of his word. So as far as I’m concerned the real race is between McCain and Huckabee; here I would ask everyone to weigh the two candidates positions before deciding.

While John is a bona-fide war hero I see him as too soft on border security and too liberal on a number of domestic issues. If I were only voting for a military leader, McCain would be high on my list, but I want someone that can be a consensus builder, not partisan, and one that can bring fresh new ideas to the table to help break down some of “business as usual” barriers and have the energy and passion to accomplish this. Mike is the best candidate for getting this done and will hold true to his commitment and convictions.

I’m planning to see Fred Thompson come in 1st in South Carolina!! He is the most qualified candidate for President, and I look forward to a victory now and this November!

Go, Fred! This is the message southern conservatives want to hear: straight to the point with your beliefs…..South Carolinians have a chance to propel this man back into front runner status.
GO, FRED, GO

GO FRED GO!

Up 7+ points in four days! Will the MSM start paying attention?

fred08.com

I’m behind Fred…. I’d love to see him win South Carolina. I’m confident he will be a front runner now that we are out of the democratic states. TRUE conservatives love him!!!!

I think that everyone in the msn is underestimating the strength of support that Fred has.I’m just about ready to jump out on the road and drive to S.C. from Ohio to do anything I can for him.Never would have even thought about doing something like that for any othe r candidate ever.

That’s Fred – we can count on him to bring conservative principles to the Presidency, and more importantly, he will stand by them.

CURE THE RINOVIRUS!

Fred is a joke people. He has slept his way through the primaries and just now woke in hopes of securing the nomination for his buddy McCain. See here: http://www.politiporn.com

Huckabee has them running scared and all of the pandering that the GOP has done with the evangelicals is coming back to bite them, big time!

GO FRED!!

When some true conservatives vote in South Carolina we will see decline in Huckabee and, hopefully, McCain’s numbers. That is because Fred Thompson has the most coherent and consistent conservative message.

If we can get by these early primaries that are rigged to allow voters who do not support Republican party candidates to vote, then we can stop McCain who is living off independents and democrats crossing over. Huckabee is not a Democrat only because he would not get anywhere in that party with his positions on abortion and gay rights. I’m concerned that we might be facing an uninformed electorate a la Thomas Paine and many of our Republican voters do not really know what a conservative is. Since it is clear that the media works off momentum, maybe Fred will get some publicity with his South Carolina surge.

Huck…is a LIb.The Mayor….911 then not much.Then you have”What do I have to say to sell you this car?” Romney.Domestic Lib…McCain. The only true allaround,exerienced conservative is FRED THOMPSON!Don’t accept substitutions. You will most likely experience “Buyers remorse”with any one but FRED THOMPSON

Fred Thompson is a “What you see is what you get” person. Out of all of the fine republican candidates, Fred most closely resembles the great principles and conservatism that Reagan lived by. He did not jump on the “change” bandwagon like the other republican candidates and he is not afraid to tell you the truth, even if its not what you want to hear.

GO FRED GO!!!

Tommy

With respect to Tim Young’s comment about McCain’s electability… the national polls I’ve seen that have asked about specific GOP vs. specific Dem matchups, in all possible combinations, suggest that in a national general election, McCain is the MOST electable of all the available Republicans. So, if your choice was, for example, Thompson losing to Clinton, or McCain beating Clinton, which would you take? Just saying.

Also, re: Robert Thompson’s comment about open primaries in which non-Republicans can sometimes vote for Republicans… NO Republican presidential candidate can possibly win a general election without significant support from non-Republicans. That’s just a mathematical fact. Why wouldn’t you want those people to have some say in which candidate they’d like to see again later in the year? Are you determined to see another President Clinton?

Lillian, I Support you and your right to get the WORD out!

I myself also, have talked with my Fellow, DAV Member’s in and out of the VA Hospital’s and They reinforce what you say. Most would not spit on him if he was on FIRE!

My VOTE and Choice is: FRED THOMPSON!

Integrity, Honor and Commitment!

Go, Fred!…………………………………….GO!

When He get’s in the Oval Office, Then maybe we can get some answers!

God Bless! You and America Too!

Sorry but old Freddy boy is late to the game. Huckabee’s win in Iowa has all the Baptists in a tizzy, with the thought that could be getting the first true Christian elected. Fred is merely an also-ran, nothing more and despite his paultry imitation of Reagan (hallowed be thy name).

Mike a liberal, are you nuts? Give me specific examples of what YOU think makes Mike a liberal. It’s clear you don’t know what you are talking about and if you lived in Arkansas you would have absolute clarity on this. You would have seen the many newspaper articles citing how the Democrats fought him on tax cuts. You would have seen first-hand the road mess we were in due to the declining road conditions and it was WE the voters in Arkansas that agreed to a gas tax increase, a couple of pennies per gallon, something that never happens in a blue collar state like Arkansas so clearly it was seen as a necessity. As for park and tourism fees, our parks and tourism fees are the lowest in the nation and before Huckabee was in office, the parks were being neglected. Those that come to our state can see first-hand the improvements. I call that good governance and the increased tourism resulting from these improvements only help to drive more money AND JOBS into our state, smart business.

Tax incentives for bringing in business and good trade practices, once again good governance. There are several tax cuts e.g. marriage tax, capital gains taxes, an overall lowering of the graduated tax system here in Arkansas that also translates to more to each of our pocketbooks. I have personally seen my state income tax lowered by over well over a thousand dollars. I use to pay in and now I get money back. Oh, and by the way, Mike was also dealing with a federally mandated requirement to increase state funding for education. Mike had no choice but to incease funding and the budget was gutted by the previous adminstration so it wasn’t like he had a lot of options.

So just exactly where do you come off with Mike being a liberal…don’t go there…

I like Fred. I’m sure his new commercial will give him a big boost.

Not only is Thompson the most fundamentally conservative of the candidates, he also has the experience and stature and credibility to serve as commander in chief. I have nothing against the other men running and will support the nominee, but Thompson can appeal to every faction of the Republican conservative effort — and I worry that none of the others will be able to both mobilize the base, court the independents and hold onto the corporate and business class that currently supports Rudy and Romney.

The only reason that McCain is electable at all is because he’s as close to a democrat as a Republican can possibly get without running the risk of actually making sounds like a donkey.

Starting to generate some steam, here! It’s about time the national media stood up and took notice. The more the public sees Fred Thompson and understands what he is all about, the more they will realize that he’s easily the most respectable, thoughtful and genuine of the candidates. Go Fred, Go!

Maybe I’m missing something, but were any of the other candidates drafted by a strong grass-roots movement the way Fred was? Fred’s attitude is the best of them all — he doesn’t want to be President, but he wants to do things that only the President can do.

Fred Thompson will address the the problem of open borders without being shrill. He often characterizes the illegal population as 12 to 20 million, which might actually be far more. Atrition
will do two important things, send millions home on their own , and discourage the 20 million likely to
Come during the DEM or RINO presidency that we may get.
