Will you please run, Fred? For the love of G-d, country and all things most exquisitely brutal, do it! We're with you!

I have quite a few qualms about this bandwagon. I can't begin to explain them all so I'll say I just don't think that Thompson can become President.
One of the major reasons is that he quit his political career, after one term, to go back into acting. I know all about the other careers he's had and still don't believe that qualifies him to be Chief Executive and Commander in Chief.
The other is that he has cancer. And don't try to tell me that's not something I should take into consideration, please.
The pickings are pretty slim from both parties this cycle. I'm coming to terms with the prospect of having to vote for a man that may not be up to an enormous task. That's if I can bring myself to vote for any of them.

Well, his political career stretches back to 1969, if you count his time as a assistant U.S. attorney. And part of the reason he porbably didn't run for a second term was that daughter also died of a drug overdose in 2002.

that qualifies him to be Chief Executive and Commander in Chief.
You could rattle off any number presidents who had fewer qualifications, including Harry Truman.

Well, you seem to be showing no consideration to what type of cancer that it is. FYI, it is an extremely slow-growing type lymphoma that has shown no signs of growth thus far. In fact he'll die of old age before it has the chance to become life-threatening.
I seem to remember the issues made about Reagan's advanced age when he was re-elected President and (don't quote me on this) that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's late in his second term.

Well, I'm going to vote for someone, as I don't want Hillary or Obama in office.

Speaking as a foreigner, it looks to me like the only party with 'slim pickings' is the Democratic party. Indeed, the Republicans seem to have some heavy hitters.

For months I have been saying Giuliani and Thompson need to get together. Still to soon. Anyone realize its still 18 months before the next president takes office? Some candates and already wearing out. Ex: Barrack HUSSEIN Jomama, the clinton bitch and John Mccain. Thompson is doing the right thing.
