From Indecision… You probably don't listen to Fred Thompson's radio show every week — especially now that you're busy reading Going Rogue — so for those who missed it, here's the former D.A. Senator's opinion of the war effort in Afghanistan… "It really doesn't matter how President Obama...

In April 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that the war in Iraq was “lost” and that the surge was “not accomplishing anything.” Conservatives and war hawks ripped into Reid for the comment, calling it “reckless,” “disturbing” and “playing to the worst elements of...

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Pete Hegseth) I’m disappointed in Senator Thompson; he knows better. His statements were political, and they do nothing but undermine our troops in the field. We cannot afford to do to President Obama on Afghanistan what the Left did to President Bush on Iraq.

“It really doesn’t matter how President Obama divides the Afghan baby, how he splits the difference between McChrystal and Biden. Because the war has been lost,” Thompson said on his radio show today. “I say this because of one sad and simple fact. The president does not have the will and dete...

It's the second time this year that Sarah Palin going rogue has paid off. Her "death panels" squeal set Pres.

By Hangmann747(hangmann747@juno.com) Fred Thompson does not back or support all republicans, only those that walk a very tight conservative line. Now, Thompson has gone as far to show the world that he will choose a candidate from a different party when it is the right thing to do. " Listen Here!" ”The Washington Post “The Fix””

By Katharine Jose Republicans were focused on both Michigan and South Carolina this weekend, with those primaries falling in the next week. In South Carolina, Fred Thompson is back on the air, thanks to his debate performance and subsequent fund-raising success.

It is not even enough to have a long record of service, going back to Watergate and taking down a corrupt Governor of Tennessee in the 1970’s.
