No, that was a metaphor. In truth I think it’s several weeks if not months too late. He never did present his resume to the American people when they were listening. Now he’s already defined. And he’s been defined as slow, lazy, uninspiring, lackluster, arrogant, absent, and uninterested — but conservative(!) — instead of as a foreign policy expert, legal scholar, and steady hand in uncertain times.
The media’s definition of Fred is largely irrelevant. What someone thinks of you is out of your control, especially if you’re a conservative. He’s already been thrown under the bus by the media, but it’s through no fault of his own. He’s not trying to please the media, he’s trying to please the voters.
“Now he’s already defined. And he’s been defined as...”
You’re saying that you let prevaricating pundits define a candidate for you, instead of the actions of the candidate himself.
Fred Thompson’s actions, dating back to his youth, define him as “a foreign policy expert, legal scholar, and steady hand in uncertain times.”
And he was "defined" by people just like you. Thompson has been ahead of everyone in positing his detailed positions to the public, did you listen to or read them. Thompson has had numerous TV and Radio interviews, did you watch or listen? Thompson has been one of the top candidates as far as making campaign appearances, have you gone to any?
No, you just come onto a conservative forum and bitch and whine using the discredited talking points of the liberal media. You are the lazy one! You are the one with no fire in your belly to get a conservative elected as president. You, if you even are conservative, will be the failure if a liberal Democrat or Republican gets elected as our next president.
You've already shown an inability to lead or even follow. Please, just get out of the way.
