Among Thompson's many perceived flaws:
A New York Times analysis showed that Fred defended gun rights, opposed abortion, mocked warnings of climate change, said Iraq could become a haven for terrorists and described President John Kennedy, a Democratic icon, as "an astute proponent of tax cuts."Enjoy.
An unnamed veteran lobbyist said Fred was viewed as a lazy son of gun who would say at two in the afternoon, 'I'm done.' Can you name one major piece of legislation he authored? I can't.
Another unnamed lobbyist said, I like Fred. But I'm not sure he has the energy to wage a long presidential campaign.
Fred has them worried. They should be.
Fred appeals to the slacker blood coursing through my veins.
LOL.
How about we put Hitlery’s Senate career to some scrutiny?
Isn’t it interesting how Thompson’s political career will now be put under the liberal microscope, but Obama’s somehow, doesn’t count?
John Fonda Kerry sat in the U.S. Senate for 20+ years and never authored a piece of legislation. When he ran for the presidency, did anyone at the Boston Globe write an article on that?
Congress should work less. They spend most of their time just figuring out how to take money out of our pockets.
Homo's hate him...
More than anything his record on border control concerns me. NumbersUSA gives him an overall grade of C but he did improve over his last couple of years in office. NumbersUSA has a pretty detailed record. It’s a mixed bag of excelent, good, mediocre, and horrible.

If that’s all they can muster, Fred’s lazy, they in trouble.
“An unnamed veteran lobbyist said Fred was viewed as a lazy son of gun who would say at two in the afternoon, ‘I’m done.’ Can you name one major piece of legislation he authored? I can’t.”
This sounds like a positive to me!
The same Clinton operative has done hit pieces on Rudy and
Romney. Clinton media services INC never rests.
How many of us , if we had to sit through the BS meetings that he had to sit through wouldn't have wanted to say/do the same thing?
Gotta respect him for that .... he wasn't Morty Seinfeld walking out of a meeting because it was too late.
I can. Here are a few: the Federalism Accountability Act, and the Regulatory Right to Know Act, the Federal Financial Information Assistance Management Improvement Act, the Truth in Regulating Act, and revision of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
Of course, these were all legislation that reined in the federal government. That unnamed veteran lobbyist may have meant that he couldn't think of any Thompson legislation that imposed new laws, spending and bureaucracy on the American people.
No wonder our system is so screwed up, when only legislation that increases the size of government count as "major" or "important."
They are afraid of Fred, alright. And, well, they should be.
In this country, you’re not going to have the ordinary, red-blooded citizen vote for a woman. Not, as many as they would like you to believe, anyway.
(Elizabeth Dole, I would vote for)
Thanks for the advice, hon, but Fred already has that persona thang goin' --- didn't have to hire experts to advise him on who, or how, to be ---is himself, and not likely to change for political expediency, and THAT is one reason why I like him so much.
Fred will face a lot more of these attacks from RINO Rudi’s minions.
