Glad to see there are people here who do “get it” when it comes to Fred.

" Do you want a pilot who doesn’t REALLY want to be a pilot?"

" Do you want a heart surgeon who doesn’t REALLY want to be a heart surgeon?"

If they are competent, and are licensed to do the job and are successfully in doing that , I don't have a problem that they don't like their jobs.... as long as they get the job done.
There are many of those and other professions were people don't want to be at the job, but, still do their jobs.

Don't worry about him....he's just a mittbot....LOL He's so used to "spinning" his candidate's flip-flopping positions...

To: Samwise
Do you want a pilot who doesn’t REALLY want to be a pilot?
Do you want a heart surgeon who doesn’t REALLY want to be a heart surgeon?
Sheesh... You people will spin anything to make Fred look good.

Go Fred. His global ‘cool’ is the answer to the left’s ‘warming’.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

So what is next thing the MSM/LIBS and the shrills for MITT, RUDY. MIKE are going to take out of context and smear Fred with ?
That Fred puts his toilet paper out on the roller than in ?

” He’s lazy too. “ well , actually, he just makes it look easy and in the minds of the numb brains, it’s lazyness... : )

" I am for Fred, but NOT if he does not want to lead my country " Fred has never said that, if you go back and read some of his statements, speeches, Leadership with be one of his strengths.
Yes, many people could confuse this with no passion in what he said today, but, in the bygone days, people would know instinctively what Fred said and meant.
I do believe Fred does have a passion for the job, but, not in a flash in the pan, slick charismatic way.
It's not his worship idol to be President, he does not make the office of the POTUS a idol.
There is humility in what Fred is saying.
He does have the passion and fire in his belly to serve.

” Great answer.
Unfortunately the MSM always take a half-sentence here, and half there, and act like that’s the sum total of what the guy said.”
I look to see Rush expose this lie of the MSM and how they manipulate what does really get said.
Rush has given example after example on how they lied about him on what he said and taken it out of context... The Reid letter of one prime example.

He is the reassuring Grandfather in perilous times.

Fred will resonate to whats good about American, I do believe sensible people will and can see that.
People are so sick and tried of self severing slick politicians who are only in it for themselves and forget the little people.

[Ghengis]

A very statesmanlike answer broken into negative sound bites. Totally out of context to boot!

Is it any wonder that so many people loathe and distrust these spinmeisters who call themselves journalists?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

” Don’t fall for it, CNN left out half the sentence. “ CNN, the half brain people.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

” IMHO, what Thompson brings to the plate is a new breed of politician. “ more like, politicians in the bygone days of old ( Washington, Lincoln, ) that really meant something.

[seekthetruth]

Fred will be on CNN Late Edition tomorrow 12/30 at 11:00AM Eastern. A campaign event in Iowa will be shown on CSPAN tomorrow at 4:12 Eastern and then Fred will be on Fox News Sunday with Chris Walace at 6:00PM Eastern. GO FRED!

I do expect Rush could or would spend a whole show on this, and how they take things out of context.

Dear Retired,

You have had any number of comments and responses alerting you to the full context of Fred Thompson’s statement that was misreported by the AP’s reporter who wasn’t even at the event she was writing about.

As you made it clear that you were a supporter of Fred Thompson, you should be pleased to find out that you were wrong. Perhaps you ought to post again, thinking all the people who have pointed out the truth to you.

Best regards,

[John Valentine]

Some people only read headlines, that's because they have the attention spans of a gnat.
