Comments on: Why I WON’T Be Voting for Fred Thompson http://www.badroseblog.com/2007/09/28/why-i-wont-be-voting-for-fred-thompson/ Life, Dogs, Kids and Politics through the eyes of a blonde...

We don't have ham sandwiches up here north of the M-D line. We have lots of balogna and a good bit of deer sausage (it's gross). But no ham sandwiches to give us hope for the future. Actually, Fred had my vote based on his work on Law and Order. You know me, Badrose. I'm a simple person. If you star on a show that can make me stay up late on a school night, then you must be worth something. Well, if he's not gonna be around for L&O, then what's the point of voting for him?! Guess I'll have to change, too. (BTW, I miss my most favorite Dalton of all!) You’re lucky. We don’t have ham sandwiches up here north of the M-D line.

Fred is lucky to have you on board and you should both be glad that I'm no longer supporting him. I haven't picked a winning presidential candidate in over 20 years! "My guys" have never made it past the South Carolina primary! Although I refuse to say who WILL get my vote (I don't want to jinx them) I will say that Newt did not drop me as a friend when I invited him to vote for Ham Sandwich. Keep up the good fight for Fred! I like the fire in your belly, Nelson. Fred is lucky to have you on board and you should both be glad that I’m no longer supporting him.

How can you write this stuff and think people will belive you? You obviously have an issue with him not desiring to go with your company and for good reasons I am sure. Your not voting for him on the reason's you put up, only shows your a revengeful person. For he is the best candidate for president. And obviously you have no problems with how he stands on the issues, only that he did not go with your company for some reasons you are not stating. He is a good man and will get my vote.

They committed to his campaign before there was one...why? Look at the stats. After you count coverage in Newsweek you suddenly see the special treatment of Thompson. We are a not for profit media ethics program that not only counted the numerous articles on Thompson in Newsweek, but compared their coverage to the other candidates. We wrote: "Skim the last 12 months of news and you’ll see that no publication has followed Thompson’s political him-hawing like Newsweek. A total of 17 Newsweek articles - including a September cover story - feature Thompson. Meanwhile, the competition is suffering. John McCain’s got 10 articles. Rudy Giuliani’s got 7. The fading Mitt Romney has 6. Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul, a paltry 1. The rest of the major declared candidates ­ Tom Tancredo, Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter ­ don’t even register on the Fred-philic pages of Newsweek."

We have also just posted a Thompson answer to the Obama Girl video on You Tube to highlight Newsweek's Thompson crush . See "My Johnson is for Thompson" featuring the Thompson Twins.
