...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 just followed your link and while I do wish Thompsons’ record on the issue was better than it is, it is far better than what your candidate has had to say on the issue. In my mind we need someone to the right of Bush on the issue, not the left.
Hell I didn’t think that was even possible.
Ah, go read my post again. Then go read Thompson threads.
Ya I have that much time, if its so easy how come you cant explain it to me?
“Because Thompson is no better or worse than Rudy-McCain-Rommney.
He is a liberal on immigration and abortion”
Now that a big ole lie. Thompson gets a )% rating from NARAL and Guiliani gets 100% Thompsons voting record limiting abortion has been perfect whereas Rudy wan’ts to use you tax dollars to subsidize it.
I welcome a reasoned discussion of the facts but when someone posts out and out lies it makes everything they say suspect.
Credibility is a terrible thing to waste.
LOL!
Well- we knew it was coming...
Fred is a grown up, he’ll handle it:)
welcome to Free republic.
Someone wants a collection of Fred’s speeches. Betchacan
comply .. ;)
Oh, and the threatened folks are the rapid Rudy supporters. On the contrary, I’m very happy with the thought of Fred in the race and believe he can unite the entire party- not just the left-leaning, ‘only Rudy can beat Hillary’ crowd.
” however, I’d like to see him as Governor of Tennessee first : )” I don’t think America can wait for that.
Thompson’s *record* speaks for itself. Reading is the path to enlightenment, my friend. You are so gung ho to find this blurb about Thompson, now why don’t you go look at material that refutes your claims? Seems to me you’re the one who’s threatened.
I’m just laughing imagining the desperation it takes to meet in secret and plan coordinated Rudy bombs on FR. Hilarious!
I’m sensing that too, and I’m no Lt. Columbo.
Tell Nancy Pelosi hello when you head back to fantasy land. And btw..Rudy can untie the COUNTRY, not just our precious party...
WE get together on weekends...
My goodness, our coordinated attacks, do you fear the black helicopters too?
And you have just exposed yourself as a Rudybot. Thank you.
Knock out article. Thanks for post it!
