Most people have no idea yet who Thompson is. That he polls as high as he does is quite astounding actually.
Imagine how well Fred will do when people get to know more about him. < insert music and dream sequence here >

I recognized him form one of the Die Hard movies. His image always struck me as that of a tough government agent, bureaucrat, or politician. I didnt know that he would become one.
That being stated, I think the Rs have very little chance at the WH.
Actually he was a Senator before he was an actor.

Well, I do like that he supported and voted for the Balanced Budget Amendment while he was a Senator. And most of his other votes fall pretty much in line with my opinion. So far I think the guy has a shot. Remember nobody thought Bush had a shot when the primaries started last time.

Resign as speaker? Wow, quite the punishment. Then later he got a standing-O. Fantastic. And here I am not Damo.
Look, to say that the one is better than the other is rubbish. "He was caught earlier and we reacted... then later welcomed him with open arms and a special clapterfest." And the kid was also underage and a Page.
Seriously, Care. If you can't see the hypocrisy it is partisan blinders. I can see it with Rs and Foley.
Anybody preaching that the one did a bad thing but willing to forgive the clapterfest for another who did the same thing is pretty fricking hypocritical.
But No1,
this Studds thing took place near decades ago.... most of these people imo were not even around in the message board arena at the time and probably don't know much about the whole fiasco with Studds...
and I do not believe it is, (as you say), partisan rhetoric for me to believe that the way the Republican leadership handled this situation with Congressman Foley was worse than the way the Democratic Leadership handle Studs at the time of his incident.
I think it is "partisan" for you to suggest that it is "partisan" on the Democrats part! hahahaha!
Someone on this board had mentioned that if the Republicans had not taken such a strong stance on the Democrats being the hand of the Devil, and the Republicans being the TRUE guiding hand party of God's, then the Dems would probably not be so gleeful every time a Republican falss from Grace...
And I think that this could be part of what you are viewing...?
Care
I am viewing a party who says that violating a child is one of the worst crimes on the planet, but giving one who did so a standing ovation. I am viewing that same party years later saying that a man who did not actually violate that child who resigned his position was in some way worse.
Both are atrocious, but to say that there is nothing in objecting to the way your party recognized him with a standing ovation on the floor of our capital building is petty partisanship.
Now, I'd agree if I thought Foley had no issues whatsoever and that the R's leadership were flawless in their handling of that perv that I was being partisanly selective in my morality. But I have made no such assertion. Certainly you can see how a person can view both of the parties reaction to these perv men who violated pages to be disgusting, but especially so when one of them stands to honor one of them on the floor of our nation's capital building.
I see what RSR means. Someone could become president and not get 50 percent of the popular vote. He is correct in that respect. I still think that his argument is lost if he really examines your link: http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08gen.htm
According to the top of the page, according to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll Clinton wold get 46 percent to Thompsons 40 percent. Neither candidate gets 50 percent but Hillary wins Hillary would be more popular than Thompson.
In the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll. April 5-9, 2007. Registered voters nationwide Hillary beats every Republican candidate except Giuliani (and that defeat is only by 6 percent) but still she never gets 50 percent.
Anyway, RSR is technically correct in that 50 percent might not vote for Hillary but that seems to be a red herring. It does not mean that she would be less popular than any Republican contender come Election Day.
no, no, no RSR, if it becomes Hillary against Rudy, then the Religious Right will sit out on the election because they "think" that both Rudy and Hillary and her husband, are immoral people.Hillary is dead meat. If she goes up against Rudy if will be 1984 all over again
The Dems will crash and burn

They would never accept voting for Rudy with his personal baggage imho...3 mariages, cross dressing for fun, and opinion on the right to choose, and who could blame them? Nor Hillary's baggage... so imo, the RR will sit OUT, and if they do, IF Hillary is the candidate, she MAY very well WIN....
So, I think it needs to be someone else, other than Rudy, in order to win against Hillary...not sure who yet.
But THAT is if Hillary EVEN gets the nomination and it ain't over till the fat lady sings, as the story goes....
Care
Libs wish that was true
Rudy is beating her in many key states
50% say they will not vote for Hillary - and everytime she opens her mouth the gap between Rudy and Hillary will grow
Rudy is not the lib the left would have us to believe
Hillary is dead meat. If she goes up against Rudy if will be 1984 all over again
The Dems will crash and burn
Actually, that would just about shoe in Hillary. COnservatives across the board won't support Guilliani.
