Does anyone have the phone number to his campaign office? I have been trying to reach the office for about a month now. On their website is an email form, and Ive sent close to ten email's asking them to call me and they never do.

Just to say he supports or doesn't support something by percentages doesn't give accurate facts. How he voted may have depended on what was in the bills. Thompson seems like the kind of guy that would vote against bills containing lots of pork and garbage.

[nevadamedic]

At this point I think Thompson is a mystery man. Noone seems to know what he's doing or what he's about. I think it's the mystery that intrigues people.

[theHawk]

He is very anti-abortion, anti-amnesty, anti-gun control, and does not support laws that give special rights to people because of their sexual preference.

About the only thing I don't like is he is pro-free trade with China.

I think a lot of people just like him for the name recognition from being on Law and Order.

He was just on Hannity. I dont know why everyone thinks he is all that but he is definitely able to hold his own.

Id love to see Him and some of the top candidates in debate (without Ron Paul or T. Thompson or some of the really low ones with no traction to take up time). Would be interesting.
