...It’s been said by many including me, that America is experiencing a nationwide epidemic of Attention Deficit Disorder. ..
But in watching the Fred Thompson phenomenon develop, I am coming to a different opinion, one that might explain the clear political apathy of the average American voter and the current Fred Thompson fever all in one shot...
.. The problem is looking more like a nationwide state of extreme political boredom. A case of a nation bored into a trance, or a deep slumber by a nauseatingly boring group of over-stuffed politically correct and morally bankrupt blowhards saying nothing..
..Eventually, it all just blurs together to make one big boring indistinguishable white noise and nobody is listening anymore. Why should they? Nobody’s saying anything...
..And that my friends, is what people like about former two term, then back to the real world, plain spoken Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson. I mean aside from the fact the he is a professionally trained orator capable of completing a sentence using only his own thoughts and no old cue cards from any political party campaign guru...
..Fred Thompson stands out in the crowd like a real live candidate with a mind of his own, even when trying not to slip up and accidentally agree to run for president. And as long as he retains his traditional irreverence for Washington nonsense, he will continue to be popular among voters who can very much relate to that uncommonly outspoken irreverence....
...And that’s why folks all over this nation are sitting on their wallets waiting to see if Fred will answer the people’s call before committing a penny to the ’08 political circus already center stage and raging out of control, a year before the primaries are even supposed to begin...

I know..he better get in.
The other candidate’s warts are beginning to show bigtime!
He’ll get trashed too, but there’s nothing that’ll stick. No deal breakers in his closet.
How's this:
Recent commentaries by Fred Thompson:
If the Clintonistas don’t find something..they will make something up..and the MSM will spread it.
Thank you for bumping the FRed Thread.
There’s also a terrific interview from last month on Laura Ingraham’s site. You can click and listen to the interview:)
Also- Mark Levin had Fred on twice in the last two months ...

Thank you for stopping by and bumping the FRed Thread.
I couldn’t believe it when my Father pulled the “Then you’ll end up with Hillary” crap on me.
I gave him a few facts and he was pretty shamefaced.
WTG!!!
Wow, same crap different thread. Thompson has an 8-year record in the Senate, and NARAL rated him 0%.
Give it up with the coy "oh gosh golly, I don't dislike him" BS.
I heard Welch on radio when asked about his support for Romney. He said that he went with Romney because he felt he was the best candidate at the time. He ALSO said that if Romney drops out, he would be supporting Fred.
Basically, he said he’d continue to work for Romney and keep to his word.
wow, yeah my dad doesn’t even follow politics that much. But he does hate Hillary, and he is a moderate Bush supporter, after the 2004 elections he told my mom and I that he didn’t really care who won, he said he was glad Bush won, but then said that he wouldn’t have minded Kerry winning either because that would have barred Hillarys chances at ‘08, and possibly on. Needless to say I don’t talk politics with my dad that much, my mom and I can talk for hours on end.
I can identify at least two Rudyphiles who state bluntly that Fred will not run. Of course, they’re not the most credible anyway, so grain of salt and all that.
Thanks!
He played it smart. This way, he was ALSO saying to any other people who might be holding back- go and support Fred..it’s OK with me:)
A master flip-flopper can change his stated viewpoint from X to Y, and then back to X, and oftentimes back to Y, then X, then Y, etc.
Almost nobody's going to start out with the correct viewpoint on everything; a good person, however, will figure out which of his views are wrong and change them. I fail to see why that should in any way be considered a bad thing.
I agree. Did you happen to hear it? It was quite interesting.
I just got the feeling, from listening to the interview, that he will be with Fred in the not so distant future.
