“Agree. Thompson needs to sh!t or get off the pot. Does he think the GOP is just going to hand him the nomination?”
If you mean the majority of the GOP base that see a slew of nobodies and libs running on our side right now, then the answer is hell yeah we are!
Okay, let me say this in the nicest way possible: you’re dead wrong. I have nothing against Thompson—he may well be the best man for the job. But he’s got to get into the arena and prove it like everyone else. This aloof man staying “above the fray” crap doesn’t cut it with me and many other GOP voters.
It would be a grave mistake for anyone to get the nomination without breaking a sweat—which is what Thompson looks like he wants. The GOP candidate needs to be fully vetted—if he can’t pass muster on our side. We have seen what happens if someone talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk (sadly, I am talking about Bush here). In addition, he will get eaten alive by the Dems & MSM if he isn’t steeled by the nomination process.
One more thing: Thompson may be an actor, but that doesn’t make him Ronald Reagan.
