I saw him on CSPAN sunday giving a speech at the Lincoln Club. He was GREAT. He is the only candidate I have seen who inspires me to be a better American. I hope he runs.
Fred Ping!
ive studied on the subject, and my conclusion is now clear
fred is formidable
he is a man of strength, character, consistency, and with his own internal locus of control
this is no northeastern republican in name only
unlike president bush unfortunately, who is also good person, thompson has a thoroughly-integrated theme and vision of america that deeply reinforces our identity as a nation
the only bi-partisanship fred will care to achieve is through his very nature - he is hard not to like as a person despite differing views
fred is articulate, confident but not cocky, intelligent but guided by experienced common sense
no other candidate on either side has such an appreciation of the fundamental issues that will affect america in the years to come
like jesus in the garden of gethsemane, thompson is taking the time now to savor the last moments of a private quiet life of comfort - sacrifice awaits
a towering man (66) that only seems amplified by soaring ideals
remember this moment - world history in the making
Am watching tape I made last eve from CSPAN of his speech. Reminds me of my bald preacher Dad.

CAUTION: This is a very high volume ping list. You may receive between 5 and 10 pings a day. If you'd rather not receive so many pings, let me know and I'll only ping you once a week.
That sounds like the Chuck Norris facts.
That's inspiring.
I hope in his discernment that he realizes how much we all hunger for frank talk like that. It takes a whole lot to cut through the politics to make folks realize how blessed we are and what it means, responsibility-wise, to be an American. Thompson does that well.
He certainly will not need any $400 haircuts!
