“Fred is lazy”
They’ll stick with this until Fred is long gone from the scene.
Hopefully, that’s after he completes his second term

Fred Thompson is the only candidate who appeals to instinct. This will have a huge impact on the undecideds.
I really love this guy. Have for years...and I've never even watched his television show. LOL. U.S. Army Retired |
Interviewees A, B, and C get to the interview on time (maybe even 5-10 minutes early), they have all spent the last couple of years preparing for this day. They have their letters of recommendations together, they have saved the money to make glossy resumes, they have made contacts within the company that are ready to vouch for them, and they all showed up to the company to actually ask for the job.
The board gets together and asks them to describe the greatest threats to the company. They each, in their own ways, describe how the international company Al Queda International plans to come in and change all of this Christian companies rules, and fire anyone that doesn't agree with their philosophies. They also go on to tell the board that they also know of an attempt by an insider, Clinton INC, plans to participate with them by just going along with it (they don't want the conflict entailed in overthrowing Al Queda International). A, B, and C describe exactly how they would prevent Clinton Inc from making their attempt at a hostile take over a reality.
Candidate D comes in, also on time, but states straight out that he is the best man for the job, not because of what he knows (which is nothing) but because the company is a Christian company, and the Lord is guiding him to apply.
Finally along comes candidate F. He is running late (although he does try his best to convince the secretary that he is actually on time, that the others were just early). He comes to the interview, after his wife had called and set it up, laid out his clothes to wear, and driven him into town in their old red pickup truck. The secretary finally leads him into the conference room where the board of directors are waiting.
The first question from the board is "why do you want this job?" He states, that he ain't playing those games, and that he really didn't want to be there (at the interview), but a bunch of people on the internet told him that he would do a great job, so he decided to check it out. When asked about how he would do at the job, he says, "I really don't feel like interviewing, so here is a website for you to go look at with all my "policy papers". You can read them (like all those people on the internet did) and see that he is probably the best for the job, and then make their decision. When asked how he would keep Clinton Inc from succeeding in their hostile take over, he says, well uhh...uhm...it's in the papers, read it there.
Candidate D then stands up and says, I am done with this interview, I know you people want me, so wake me up when you make your decision.
In all reality, who would you give the job too?
Point well taken. Rooty Giuliani has the most fire in the belly. Nuff said.
GO FRED GO!!!
This is exactly the attitude we need in our presidential candidates. Even if Thompson were not closest to my policy views, I would still give him a serious look based on this approach alone.
It’s so interesting to me that some folks think this attitude is a negative, and instead want someone with consuming ambition to be president. It’s just a reminder of how much my beliefs differ from some other GOP-ers’. Opinions in this primary have diverged enough that no matter who wins, I don’t see how we’re going to hang together as a party.
