"Law & Order" star and former U.S. senator Fred Dalton Thompson is considering a bid for the White House that would test whether Hollywood can once again launch a Republican to the world's premier political stage.

His interest, confirmed in a brief interview this week, is generating buzz in Washington. He was third among Republican-leaning voters in a recent Gallup-USA Today survey, behind Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and ahead of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

lol... seriously I don't think this guy's going to do anything, but the mudslinging on Fred's already started... That Dobson dickhead from the new life church is already coming down on him saying he "isn't a Christian"

IMO when is all said and done Romney will emerge as the GOP nominee...

Stormontheplains · 04-02-2007, 01:13 PM

Fred's got my vote if he runs. He is middle of the road, great communicator, the people of Tennessee loved him on both sides of the aisle. His acting is Fred just being himself, what you see is what you get.

If you vote more on the conservative side, then Romney's probably your guy... McCain seems to be imploding and Giuliani is far from a conservative.

romney will not be elected, he's mormon. Guiliani will beat hillawitch....dman

Stormontheplains · 04-02-2007, 02:55 PM

I just want a good man, who is not polarizing, or a democrat. My family cant afford for taxes to go up, and neither can my business. Can I get a Flat Tax? say Hell Ya!!!!!!!!!!

Too late. Our elected "dems" are tailoring the new tax increase of 140 billion as we speak. You know, the guys who want to make it better for middle america? I'm for a flat tax also, as long as teddy kennedy has to get taxed on ALL of his capital gains, whew, that would be the freaking day now wouldn't it..dman

bendog · 04-02-2007, 02:58 PM

I'd vote for Hagel because I think he's a man of principles. But I can't really see myself voting for any other goper. Economic and labor issues. Thompson is not a bad person though. I maybe could vote for him.

SFB's won't get my vote..dman

*You can find a reason NOT to vote for someone, but DO NOT vote for someone on ONE ISSUE. That's the problem with the country right now...ie...vote hillawitch because she's a "woman", I actually heard some broad saying that s''t, what a freaking moron..dman

I'd vote for Rudy as well. If I had to vote for a democrat....I don't know which one I like the best or least.

If Thompson is the Republican nominee, will he take Tennessee?
