McCain's comments on the FairTax indicate two things: 1) He doesn't know what the bill actually says, and 2) He doesn't understand that the Federal Government taxes basic items such as food and clothes today. I don't mean the embedded taxation that many FairTax supporters refer to, but basic goods and services are indirectly taxed today for Americans. As an example, if I'm in a 25% marginal tax bracket today and pay 1/2 of the payroll tax, I need to earn $148.48 to have $100 left to buy groceries after paying just my Federal taxes. Since I do not get a deduction for these expenses, my groceries were indirectly taxed. Under the FairTax, if I'm earning $148.18, I will actually get to keep it all. My $100 in groceries will go to $130 (assuming no drop in base prices from the removal of embedded taxes) and I'm ahead by $18.48. McCain's point may be that since so many Americans don't understand they do pay taxes on these items today, it will be POLITICALLY difficult to pass, but that's not a good reason to be against a bill that would do so much good for the economic well-being of the nation and its citizens.

Where is the rest of George's statement on the war? By the way, check P.1 of Sunday's NY Times where Mr. Karzai says "the security situation is deteriorating."

How will you manage to deflate the numerous and myriad groups that put their special interests ahead of the good of the whole populace? Today it's popular to say you're a _____ - American. How do we return to being a diverse, but tolerant and respectful, united American community?

Questions abound! 1. Will you establish a platform of specific positions on the numerous subjects out there? 2. Will you clearly outline what your intentions are regarding the various subjects? We need some specifics, as much as they are possible, or at least what YOUR intentions are, notwithstanding that you cannot fully control everything.

Senator Thompson, By generating nuclear electricity, heating with electricity and also by using nuclear heat to make oil and gasoline from it's abundant coal (600 yr's worth), the United States can reduce it's carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 80% along with reducing it's dependence on foreign oil to "ZERO". As a candidate for the presidency are you willing to put this technology on the same footing that President Kennedy put the space program on in the 1960's?

Here is a question I would have for Fred Thompson...I hope he answers it!!!!! What is his plan to address the problems facing social security for my generation?? I'm a recent college grad, working full time and def feeling the pain of all the taxes being taken out of each of my paychecks...Social Security is a failing system and people like Hillary Clinton (in a recent townhall meeting) give the impression that raising taxes is the only way to handle the impending problems. She also said that privatizing the system is off the table. How does Fred Thompson feel about this?? Thanks!

I've followed Fred since his service in the Watergate hearings and the Marie Ragghianti case. I'm delighted to see him now in the race for president, and it's my sincerest hope that he wins. One of his most appealing qualities these many years-- evidenced in part by his poll standings before even entering the race-- has been a frank, straightforward delivery style with little of the animated body language that one associates with so many of candidates. I see his style changing a bit in recent weeks-- becoming more animated, with more gestures and movements for added emphasis. If he's being coached to be more expansive in his delivery style in order to bring in more voters, I would urge against such counsel. At bottom, this country still wants a rock-solid, buck-stops-here, chief exec who listens but does not appear to cater to the voting public-- as Reagan and others have proven. His intellect and natural charisma have served him well so far, and, left alone, will carry the day, in my opinion.

The last two submissions to some of Judy's articles are going unpublished on the sites. Am I doing something wrong in submission or are they purposely being excluded? Thanks...Ryan

Fred, I really appreciated your stand against the reporter on the man-made global warming show of hands question. It showed your leadership ability is far above the rest. I am looking forward to voting for a candidate that puts it all on the line and lets it be known that strong border control, English language as a first, and respect for life will be the compass for his direction for the country. I expect that you will finish by giving the oath on the BIBLE to protect our Christian heritage as well. Long live FREEDOM, our FIGHT'G SPIRIT, and FRED THOMPSON!!!!!!!! CC
