My question exactly every time this $3 phony pops up.
"Is that supposed to be cute or something?"
As cute as his rodent counterpart, the Breck Girl.
"As to ego, that is again a throwaway swipe, that can be used for anyone bothering to run for President."
Precious also shares the distinction with Gore of watching their daddies be soundly rebuffed in their quests for the Presidency. It distorted their egos beyond all comprehension. Fact is, nobody asked Precious to run for President. He didn't finish his job in Ratsachusetts. He cut and run. We don't reward losers with the Presidency, not in the GOP at least.
"I guess since Thompson hasn't bothered yet, he can't be accused."
Fred, unlike Precious, is a draftee. We won't have a real contest until he officially enters, and then it's all over in this contest of egotistical RINO midgets.
"Mitt has done better for the MA GOP than GWB for the US GOP."
What are you smoking ? The MA GOP is DEAD, and he nailed the coffin lid shut. Precious FAILED to increase (in fact, it SHRANK on his watch) upon the 11% GOP membership in the legislature. 11% (!). Far below the GOP party registration in the state. He FAILED to help elect a SINGLE GOP federal official. He left a hapless Lieutenant to carry the party banner against a racist Marxist rodent all in his quest to satisfy his appetite for the Presidency. He FAILED to campaign for our party members in the state in the past election, leaving them to twist in the wind. Now when Dubya reduces our national GOP to below 11% membership in Congress (or zero in Precious's case) and hands Hillary (or Smiley) the Presidency on a silver platter as Precious handed the Governorship to Coupe deVal, you come back and make that claim. It may truly be the most absurd statement I've read this year, if not this century.
"And what has Fred Thompson done for any GOP lately? As a TN Senator? Nothing comes to mind, maybe you can fill us in."
Now you're just being ignorant. Fred didn't abandon his state and party as Precious did, and instead actively and aggressively campaigned for our federal GOP officeholders. His DIRECT intervention in our Senate race last year kept the seat from going to the rodents (Smiley Light AKA Junior Ford). Since he wasn't a Governor, his responsibilities aren't the same, but he surely helped out after he had left office, even when he wasn't obliged to do so. Precious was obliged to, and didn't do a damn thing. Like I said, some are called to greatness and some think they're great. Rudy McRomney are most certainly the latter.
Mitt’s dad was actually a highly competant governor of Michigan (who got screwed over by LBJ during the Detroit Riots), who nevertheless was prone to sleep-inducing speeches and the occassional gaffe (”I was brainwashed!”). In some ways, he was the Republican answer to Edmund Sixtus Marcejewski of Maine...
Leaving the Senate for Hollywood isn't abandoning anything then, eh?
Senator Thompson (no nickname, which is lame) apparently didn't achieve anything in the Senate that you can note. He took time off from his acting career to appear at some fundraisers. Is that the gist of it?
