The drive-by's won't touch Ron Paul with a ten-foot pole. I mean Pitboss (in whispered tones) ,"he believes that the constitution MEANS what it SAYS, that radical!!!"

It's kind of funny in a way... The drive-bys will crawl across broken glass to prostrate themselves at the foot of dictators (Mike Wallace and Diane Sawyer are you listening). Sawyer, for example, will kiss the ass of a man (Mymood Innedajihad of Iran) who would STONE TO DEATH a woman who acted and dressed as Ms Sawyer does. He, and his culture, thinks of women as CATTLE (for example under Sharia law a woman is not even allowed to CHARGE a man with rape unless some other man was a witness) and yet Diane will play nice and kiss his ass.

The SAME Diane Sawyer wouldn't spit on Ron Paul if he were on fire. She would not give him the time of day and if forced to would be rude and condescending.

I kind of like Fred Thompson and he has enough recognition (Law and Order, HUGE popularity in Tenneessee) to actually get over the hump and MAKE the drive by's pay attention. I don't know if he'd run although I suspect he'd be a fool not to because pretty much all of the repubs I talk to (myself included) are DISGUSTED by the choices of Guliani, McCant, or Romney. We would not vote for them. We may mark their name as a vote against Hillary but that would be the only reason.
