actually that’s Mrs. Grumpy :)

Pardon me, m'aam. Sexist pigdog that I am, I usually assume a screen name that is not clear female is a man.

But, I refuse rehab!

I like him. But does he have gravitas? Just a little cheap shot at the media.

The biggest problem with politics today is that we arent given a choice of Good, better,or best.

When I think of the past 40-50 candidates that we've had running in both primaries for the past TWENTY YEARS, I can take nothing but a cynical attitude about the health of our country.

Try to think of ONE non-crazy, "compelling" well adjusted person out of the 250-300 MILLION people available who has run since Reagan.

And then, think about the fact that in the top 50 candidates given airtime----> Ron Paul (aka Alex Jones, Sr.), Dennis Kucinich-for-crying-out-loud....even Nuttier than a Payday Bar Ross Perot.

Out of 300 Million people, McCain, Clinton#12, Dole, Dukakis, Bush#47 is the best we can put forth?

It's hard to see how a monarchy isn't any better at picking leaders by birth than by the s/election process we've got.

Your response sounds like a “Church Lady” skit on SNL.

Fred has already shown his leadership. What I like is that finally, a Republican responds to the lefts B.S. rather than let the lamestream media have its way by promoting only the socialists side while the right remains silent.

Duncan Hunter is just another pre-”Makaka” George Allen.

“Within the space of about five minutes we decided to do a quick video response,” Corallo recalled from his Washington office. He called Thompson and asked if he wanted to “have some fun today” and respond to Moore with a quick video. Thompson’s response was “pure Fred,” Corallo said: “Give me a camera. I already know what I am going to say,” said Thompson.

Amazing. No writers. No consultants. No polls. Just pure Fred. This is what separates Fred from Romney and others. Fred is real.

I think Fred's our man.

I think that has been obvious for a few months now. I haven't been this excited over a candidate in a long long time.

Dude, the reason we are winning the serious battles but losing the media war is because we don’t stoop to go nyaah nyaah nyaah when the enemy is askin’ for it.
Morale and communication is essential to victory. I love and pray for George W. Bush but Fred Thompson is a serious fella and he can bolster sagging morale and engage the MSM in this war with a good attitude and a quick wit.

Responding to the likes of Moore and taking his bait is not Presidential material!

It wasn't the President who did that. It was a former Senator from a southern state who may or may not be running for President. It was not only funny, but far more effective than either ignoring Moore or responding to him with any kind of gravity would have been.

True. And he, in no uncertain terms, told BlubberButt to go pound sand. I like that!

Would I want a President who like President Bush doesn’t make funny cute little videos.............

OMG where have you been? It seems like every other televised public appearance by Bush is a candidate for America's Funniest Home Videos ;-)

Geez. Lighten up.

I'm also starting to think Obama is being way too cautious, and his inexperience will be his undoing

Inexperience, yes. Caution? Not so sure. What comes across as caution seems more an indication of the man's lack of substance. He can only talk in platitudes and generalities because his knowledge of issues is so shallow. He's a creation of his handlers, a camel fashioned by committee to resemble what they think a statesman looks like.

Never watched Fred’s tv show but it must be pretty popular with all the support he’s gotten so far...
