To be fair..Thompson is at present not an office holder like Obama or Clinton. So he was not privy to the latest insider tint and texture as some others, but was not a absolutist blockhead like Rudy. He hedged, but remember this is a man that lobbied for a pro-choice group at one time..and was a Prosecutor in real life, not just for Dick Wolfe....
The nation's largest organization of doctors of internal medicine, the American College of Physicians has issued a 13-page paper calling on the government to remove marijuana from the Schedule I classification which declares the herb to have no medicinal value.
The ACP position paper urges the use of non-smoked forms of cannabis as well as further research to identify the illnesses best treated with cannabis and the proper dosages for specific conditions.
Thompson has gone but you can tell a lot from the man with this clip : a nice guy with considered judgement, and not jumping to pat answers. Would of been a good President.
It is truly brillian that a mixed-raced former Muslim (Barack Hussein Obama) or a pro-Mexican, pro-black lady (Mrs. Hillary Clinton) will be our next President.
Ron Paul will not win!
Any true Conservative like that is doomed thanks to the media, thank Allah!
I am 54 and voted when I was 18 because It was a thrill in part of growing up. Ever since that first presidential election vote I have not voted. For at the young age of 18 I saw that every single politician is a liar and a thief. I still believe that today, and here is a perfect example, also Rudy and schMitt Romney the Nazi. However I am voting in this and all following elections until I die simply to get cannabis legalized for recreational and medical use.
Sorry, I should have excepted Ron Paul. He is a Republican who claims to be for freedom. So why is he in the American version of a fascist party? After all, Reagan and the Bushes made their whole career claiming to be against deficit spending and then stole every dollar they could from future generations of taxpayers and gave the money to their financial backers. Ron Paul is for more corporate power, which means less democracy. Of course no one says less democracy. they say "less government"
Sorry, I don't watch TV,especially MTV so I don't have a point of reference for your comment. Reagan republicans tripled the national debt that had taken all other Administrations and congress 200years to accumulate. Tripled in 8 years. Who got the money? Not taxpayers, they got the bill. Do you favor tripling the debt again? Then keep voting Republican and watch it grow.
marijuana is illegal and is it suprising that a presidential candidate would not want to answer that question...think about all the people that are not in favor of this and all the support they would lose for answering the question just to please people...if they need the marijuana that bad i'm pretty sure they could find some and as long as they use it in the confinement of their home nobody is going to stop them
The only people they would lose are the anal Christian prohibitionists, who these days are vastly outnumbered by the forward-thinking, the educated and of-course the stoners. Like badreligion said, there are frequent DEA raids on medical marijuana users all across America, ruining lives and hurting people. If Thompson was an honourable man he'd realise that helping people get the medicine they need is more important than pampering to the self-important, stick-up-the-arse anti-drug voters.
I am really sorry that medical marijuana patients are being harassed, but grateful for the opportunity their activism is giving us all to see the politicians callous willingness to sacrifice other people's lives to their political ambition, *while* attempting to sound polite and compassionate.
Much better than the lies almost every other candidate gives. All of these "sick, dying and dead" people being arrested and thrown in jail for medical marijuana use. Has it ever happened? No, or all of these people on the campaign trail would be jail. It doesn't happen. Just because it's a law doesn't mean it's enforced, and Fred is right in saying there are sets of circumstances that make answering that question definitively impossible.
Freddie, the living breathing ultimate politician as pure actor, is but the stalking horse of Rev. Hucklebee, as are all the other Republicans. See through the concerted conservative strategy to elect Reverend President Hucklebee on matrix-evolutions.
I don't support Fred Thompson. He's a pile of garbage. But my question for those of you who've claimed to be fighting for freedom is, would you care if it were something besides the issue of the legalization of marijuana? Or is the only thing you care about the next blunt you're firing up?
usually people tend to care most about what directly effects them. its not a matter of "caring about the next blunt" but a matter of wheter or not m.m. users and care givers should continue to be prosicuted, even though thair states have passed laws trying to help not only physically sick but mentaly sick patients. so to answer your question yes there are plenty of other things we care about, but " the next blunt im firing up" is at the bottom of the list.
Thanks for the personal attack. You should note that your hybrid run-on sentence seems to indicate that you too think Fred Thompson is garbage. In any case, if you're really against anyone I'm for, then that means you're either someone I know outside of these web postings in the real world who's trying to mess with me, or you're just a complete barnacle.

Let me try to appreciate your adolescent logic here;
You attack personally yet, you whine like a stuck pig when the favor is returned using the exact same language...were you born this way or are you a self-made boy??
Incidentally, I only notice writing run-on sentences when I'ld rather be choking the shit out of assholes.
Look man, the initial personal attack on Fred Thompson to which I assume you are referring was merely done in an effort to let the anti-Fred reader know that I too dislike Fred. I attacked you personally only after you called me "garbage" for no apparent reason.
We CAN give you a definite answer on whether or not you will get to be president. With a wishy-washy answer like that the answer is a big fat FORGET ABOUT IT! i.e. NO!
Fuck off. Any true conservative should be 100% for medical marijuana and for ending the drug war all together. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just supporting MORE government bureaucracy. That ain't conservative, buddy.
uh...uh...what am i supposed to say about this issue? uh...i've never really had my own thoughts about a topic...uh...what do politicians usually say...oh right.
Fred Thompson needs to remain an actor. He bypasses the question. Imho bypassing the question is the same as saying NO I wont do nothing to change anything.
I bet you also didn't know there were so many people who see the first and foremost job of government to preserve and protect our liberty and freedom..
Remember.."America, Home of the Free"? Remember that place? The country that now has more people in prison than Russia and China combined?
Is this a man who would respect the liberty of an individual? No. As he said there are federal laws involved. It seems candidate Fred Thompson is against the american ideal of self-determination. In his world the government owns you.
He admitted he was, and for sure he is aware of what's going on in regard to this issue, but his so called, tableing, postponing of the response to the question is a response of, 'NO'!
After watching Romney fumble and avoid the question, then watch Obama mumble, kinda scary that Thompson stays and talks longer than the other two. Then again, I'm Canadian so it doesn't matter to me who wins.
Actually, WhoMade, it does matter to you who wins. Some of the candidates want to merge America, Mexico, and Canada into the North American Union. You know, unless you want that.
