who cares? I don't let the media vote for me. Let those ratings starved talking heads cater to who ever they want, I choose for myself. And, I hope I don't speak just for myself.

I'm afraid he is. Thompson never served in the military.
Smearing?If it's true it's not smearing.
Thompson was pretty liberal in the past, against overturning Roe v. Wade, for Amnesty for I.Immigrants, lobbying for pro-choice groups and now he pretends to be an ultra conservative outsider.
So the media wasn't involved in reporting the whole Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinksy scandals? Who reported it then?

Another who ignores history. Chances are Thompson didn't have to "avoid" Vietnam. He was already older (late 20s I believe) and had a wife and kids. A lot people who fit those criteria didn't get drafted.

Therefore, he could have marched down to the local recruitment office and signed up for the challenge....
None of those soldiers in Iraq who've died recently were drafted.
Yeah nobody has smeared Obama, according to FNC Obama attended a muslim terrorist school.

My whole point before was that, by definition a chickenhawk is someone who has avoided or evaded military service which likely did not happen in this case.
Second, I feel it would have been irresponsible for Thompson, or anyone else for that matter, to volunteer to go to war with a wife and young children at home.
It's easy for some to promote wars after they are older than draft age.

Fred Thompson a pederast? Cruises around for pubescent boys hanging out at the bus terminal? I'd like to see some proof of this.
Pics or shens.
Recently discovered photos show Fred Thompson working as a prisoner guard at Auschwitz.
Thompson was in Dallas the day Kennedy was assasinated.
Thompson was in the chunnel the night Princess Diana died -- but travling the opposite way.
More details to follow..
See the post further in this thread about Obama attending a "dangerous" Islamist school in Indonesia. Not to mention his questionable association with shady Chicago personalities and his whacky minister.

Obama is just a red herring, not a serious contender. If he's a good boy and doesn't go anywhere, he'll be around for years as the black Harold Stassen. If makes a serious try for the Dem nomination--actually wins a primary or two, or keeps coming in a strong second as the anti-Hillary--he'll be swiftly filleted and fried. Ya'll wait 'n' see.
Obama has been smeared repeatedly, probably more than any other caniddate. Everything from calling him "Osama" to claiming he attended an Islamist terrorist school when he was a kid.
You right-wingers are the biggest babies around. You're so used to Republicans getting a free pass from the media that you whine about the first critical piece that comes out about one of your guys.
VOTE RON PAUL!! VOTE FREEDOM!!
Basically, every time Fred Thompson opens his big fat jowels, he smears his own credibility and rep. His is a big dumb redneck who wants to limit Americans' freedoms and we DON'T need another one of those in office. 8 yrs is enough!

So you are saying that many fighting in Iraq right now are "irresponsible" ?? Because there are certainly many that volunteered for the armed services knowing full well after 9/11 there would be some fighting, right? Gee, real nice of you. What happened to supporting our troops?
(and guess what? If we didn't have people recently volunteering for the armed services who have a wife and children, Georgie Boy wouldn't be able to invade so many countries and/or we'd have the draft back. And I don't think that is what you want).
