This guy has strong morals and ethics and I agree with him on about every issue that comes across. He is definitely the best candidate we would have and is far better than anyone we have now and that is fact. Take a few minutes to check his site out and see for yourself. I hope this post dont get off topic and no bashing of members either. Lets leave it for good, open discussion on this man who I hope officially states his candidacy for President of the US.

Kudos. For some reason Guiliani strikes me as a corrupt theif. Something isn't right about him. Romney has no chance, and Ron Paul is delusional when it comes to national security. Thompson will win in 08 if he is nominated. He is the andedote to the anti-christ (Hilary). I donated some to his "exploratory comittee" about a week ago. I’m With Fred – Friends of Fred Thompson

Fred Thompson/Condi Rice 2008 BABY. Thats the winning ticket.

The Dems certainly have succeeded ... at accomplishing nothing they set out to. In fact, the Democrat-controlled Congress only rivals HMO's for the lowest approval rating for societal institutions. Yeah ... I'd say that's just awful for Republican's chances or retaining the White House ...

Kudos to you for bringing this up. In all the midst of everything going on and the bi-partisan bickering, Democratic candidates at every level want the public to forget this. Allegedly, they are "in charge" and issued that 100-day mandate of sweeping change that was going to start happening. All it was, amounted to a bunch of hot air.

My challenge and encouragement to anyone who's a registered voter is to EDUCATE yourself on the issues and where the candidates stand. Be an informed voter. And the media isn't going to help you do this, unfortunately.

On Topic: Thompson does sound like the most logical choice so far. I would agree with na_feu on Romney and I don't know enough about Ron Paul at this point. Giuliani is a question mark to me....some days he makes himself look good, other days, eh. At this point, Thompson seems to have my vote but I will continue to watch and learn.

First off, No it isnt the lowest it's been since Republicans took over in 94.
It was lower in October and late December of 2006.

And what are you talking about that no meaningful legislation has been passed?? They had a bunch of measures that were passed in 9 days which included:
Raising the Minnumum Wage
Lobbying reform
Funding stem cell research
The ability for the Government to negotiate Drug prices
Lower the interest rates on student loans
Enact all reccomendations of the 9/11 commision
End large subsidies for the Oil companies
And many of these Bush threatened to Veto

And its not like The Congressional Approval rating just reflects the Democrats. There are 49 Republican Senators and 49 Democratic Senators.
The House Of Represenatives has the Democrats with a 53% majority. This is far from complete control.

first off 49 + 49 = 98. how are there 49 rep and 49 dem if there are 100 senators? oh yeah liberals like yourself tend to make up facts. In reality there are 49 republicans and 51 democrats. of course you'll say there are 2 independents but both (liberman and forgot the other's name) BOTH caucused with the democrats (that means they pledged to vote as a democrat). not to mention that independent voted with the democrats over 90% of the time. liberman, with the exception of the war issues votes with the democrats on every issue so dont give us your liberal spin that its 49 to 49. and you call those things meaningful legislation? lol what a joke. raising the minimum wage does nothing but cause inflation. Lobbying reform? give me a break. no democrat or republican is going to reform how they do "business". if that list is all you have to hang your hat on as a democrat then that's just plain sad.

They have launched 300+ investigations of the White House since the 06 election, I think that coupled with pointless "no confidence" voting, the non-binding resolution, and the crock immigration bill (which Ted Kennedy wrote mainly, not republicans) pretty much describe the activities thus far.

Before I comment back, For real, Are you like 16 years old or something. I'm not trying to be rude, I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.
Anyway, Obviously you have to compare the same polls, and in the poll that you stated The Republicans rating was lower.

so me a reputable poll (not the ImLiberalAndHateGeorgeBush.com poll) that republicans were lower than 16%. i dont remember the republicans ever being at 16%.

funny i was wondering the same thing about your age. especially after i called you out on your senate is 49 to 49 nonsense and you didnt even respond cause you know you got smoked. but anyway, im not trying to be rude either if you show me a poll that republicans were lower than 16% i will stand corrected.

[MindFreak]

and even if you do find a poll that they were lower does that make you happy? being 16% is ok as long as it is higher than the republicans? keep hating republicans at all cost. i guess that shouldnt surprise me since liberals like to reward mediocrity and penalize achievement

Haha, Now I'm positive of it. But I'll entertain you if you like.
Anyway, THIS IS THE ACTUAL POLL THAT YOU QUOTED. REAAADDD THE ARTICLE!!
Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a mid-term election.
Here it is posted for you As wellI highlighted the part for you to concentrate on.)


Just 16% of American voters now say that Congress is doing a Good (14%) or an Excellent (2%) job. That’s down from 19% in mid-Juneand from 26% at the end of May. Today, 35% say Congress is doing a Fair job while 46% say Poor (see history).
The current ratings for Congress are just a single point above the ratings for the Republican controlled Congress heading into Election 2006.

That's first off, Secondly, I really didn't want to comment on the last one cause you basically proved yourself wrong by stating that I make up facts and then editing your posts and sayin" Well' I m sure you would say....
Did you really think I needed to respond to that????
Bottom line is THAT THERE ARE 49 REPUBLICANS AND 49 DEMOCRATS.Everyone knows there is 100 senators,what do you think I was trying to FOOL everyone??? Haha. Give me a break dude.

there are 51 caucused democrats. democrats are in the MAJORITY for a reason. they have control of the senate for a reason. you going to tell me liberman isnt a democrat? lol. so yes, you didnt think you would get called out on that. either you tried to fool everyone (a very foolish move) or you're just trying to convince yourself that the democrats arent in charge of this do nothing congress. and like i said even if the democrats are slightly higher are you happy with 16% just cause its higher than the republicans? again, it doesnt surprise me.

ok dems are 1% higher. 16% is still horrible. (yes, it was horrible for republicans too). but you're happy, higher than reps. that's all that matters huh.. i wouldnt be happy with 16% just cause it was 1% higher.

[Chauncey11]

Yes, I'm telling you that Lieberman is not a Democrat. He's an Independent. You do realize there is a difference. Politicians change parties all the time. Hell, Jeffords from Vermont changed from Republican to Independent a couple of years before.

Now you claim to know my inner most feelings and thoughts.
Yea, You are right, I'm sitting here right now with a sh1t-eating grin on my face just ecstatic that The Democrats are 1% above.
