ping to the list if this isn’t already posted....
I’m always glad to read a piece on Fred, but this guy that wrote this doesn’t know him and isn’t clued in at all. He’s trying to understand, but is picking up on all the wrong things.
It’s actually kind of funny to read. It seems like he’s outside looking in and trying to figure out what the heck we’re all doing in here.
He’ll find out soon. :)
Sign the Fred Thompson for President Petiton

I wish he’d just run already - I fear he may be missing his chance.

Hey big boy! read you are on your way to live/work in VA in May.. things happen fast . Will miss you here but will hopefully catch up with you at the DC freeps, Walter Reed Etc.
Happy for you & Hoody!
It’s smacking them in the chops and they don’t get it. All politicans are actors or aspiring to be. Remember Perot? He fooled a few didn’t he?
He’s not going to announce right away. We’ve got to give him the time he needs. It should only be 2-3 more weeks, so I don’t think it’s gonna be a dealbreaker. He seems to be gaining in polls anyway, so the longer he stays out and continues to do that, the better for him.
If Roger Stone told me the sky was blue, I’d go outside and check.
Why Fred? Because he’s not Rudy, he’s not John and he’s not Mitt.
Jobs in MD, actually - I start Apr. 30.
Thanks!!!! I’m packing right now to get ready to move, which is why I haven’t been around much.
I would love for Fred to declare on July 1st (too bad the 4th is on a Wednesday though), and give a stirring speech about freedom, liberty, and American values right before Independence Day. The grassroots will be so fired up that Fred will easily rake in $10 million by the end of that week.
I believe Thompson will run, which will unify the GOP like never before, especially if he chooses Hunter, Pence, or DeMint as his VP.
Roger Stone, and his ex-wife Ann, are longtime enemies of Republican conservatives and conservative principles within the Grand Old Party. If he’s stumping for Thompson, that doesn’t bode well.
From the lead-in to the ‘04 Convention:

But Roger Stone, a Republican strategist who has been involved with eight presidential campaigns dating back to Richard Nixon, thinks the base has to be widened.
“I think the president’s greatest challenge is getting beyond the hard-core right and the religious right and figuring out how to get back many of the suburban moderates who voted for compassionate conservatism — people who are fiscally conservative but socially moderate,” Stone said.
But since the platform is unlikely to reach out to voters at the center, the action at the convention podium must do so. In other words, says Stone, “the less we see of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and their colleagues the better.”
The speakers’ list suggests the GOP has taken this idea to heart. Prominent slots have gone to former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arizona Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia, the keynote speaker.
That’s good for now, until you get to know Fred. Is he a compromise for a lot of people? Yes, he is. However, his grasp of issues and communication abilities are so far above anyone else out there now that he makes everyone else look like little children.
It’s funny to see Fred appraised so shallowly. These columnists are like most women buying a car: “it’s shiny and looks very nice”. That’s all well and good. But Fred shows some serious horsepower once the hood is popped.
“He’ll find out soon. :)”
Yes they ALL will : )
