7. I'm very worried about a Thompson run
We'll not flip any red states if we put up one of our three so-called front runners against him - and we have to do that to win.
Groan.
Does it seem a bit unsettling that the Republican candidates that lead in the polls are either liberal (Giuliani) or haven't even declared yet (Thompson, Gingrich)
Either the polls are manipulated (possible), the average man on the street Republican is clearly uninformed (probable), or the respondants are reacting to name recognition without much real thought (most likely of all).
I fear for our Party's future.
FYI!!
And I think a declared Fred does better against the Magic Negro.
I think this says more about Hillary Clinton's weakness than anything else.
This is a "before" snapshot for Thompson, and if I were him, I'd be greatly encouraged by it.
This... this... this cannot be!
I've been told by "knowledgeable" posters that Sen. Thompson just isn't a viable candidate for the general election!! He doesn't have the name recognition!! He could NEVER compete!!
And thus, the "powers-that-be" in the Republican Party will NEVER permit him to get the nomination!!
* chuckle *
Not bad for a guy who hasn't announced and who allegedly has no name recognition.
Go Fred!
"Fred Thompson 37% Hussein Obama 49%"
Thanks for our immigration laws and policies.
The country is slowly being reclaimed and we will soon have to assimilate to their culture than they to ours.
Some legacy we would have left our children and grandchildren.
I'm sure they'll thank and bless us. < sarcasm >
Peculiar assortment of keywords here...?
He begins with a bang by citing the Gill study (1947) that asked questions about an imaginary “Metallic Metals Act.” Seventy percent offered an opinion even though there was no "Metallic Metals Act."
Tom Smith took some Gallup data from the 1970s on the issue of balancing the federal budget. Ninety-six percent offered an opinion but 25% did not know whether the budget was balanced, 8% thought it was balanced and 40% knew it was unbalanced but not by how much.
From the series of literature cited, Bishop concludes that many answer to avoid the appearance of ignorance. Unless they are offered an opportunity to have a “don’t know” the answers should be suspect.
Recent studies in the Cincinnati area showed that 30-40% will offer an opinion on a nonexistent issue.
A social security survey came up with two sets of questions. One “individual” set asked, “Some people have suggested allowing individuals to invest portions of their social security taxes on their own, which might allow more money for their retirement but result in greater risk.” The majority (55%) answered in the affirmative. The second set of questions of an “impersonal” nature asked “Some people have suggested investing some Social Security funds in the stock market.” Contrary to the previous findings the majority (60%) thought this was a bad idea.
Malleability of public opinion seems to correlate with public policy ignorance. The issue then becomes the vagueness or ambiguity of the question rather than a measurement of public opinion.

That's a pretty good place for Fred to be right now, considering that he has not even announced a run yet.
Thompson/Giuliani is my dream ticket with Thompson putting Rudy in charge of Homeland Security issues.
Let's roll!
Gee. In all these years, nobody called me.
