Love Fred. And everything he stands for.
But can't we at least agree the the Republican Party desperately needs YOUNGER candidates with vitality, enthusiasm, personality, intellect, articulation, virility, and who can relate to people under the age of 60.
Far be it for me to insult our fabulous elderly generation, but the fact remains that the GOP has committed suicide by having people like Bob Dole and John McCain.. and even Fred Thompson as the FACE of the Republican Party.
In todays world (as opposed to the 1920s-1960s).. a US president must have physical stature, with a strong speaking voice, and it is absolutely necessary to have good TV personna.
Hey, it might strike some as shallow and contrived.... but it is the truth none the less.
The GOP will never again be a viable party until and unless we start to recruit younger, more energetic and communicative candidates who can EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE TERMS why conservatism and patriotism are the ingredients we need to prosper.
I agree.
