That's one of my favs.
McCain is crashing. Hard. Guiliani will have a softer landing from the Rockefeller crowd who hate us social conservatives. Romney is a question mark... one would think that he'd move up, but he seems pretty stagnant.
WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! RUN, FRED, RUN!!!!
NOW IS THE TIME!!!! :-)
You guys are all crazy. The man looks tired and old and sounds too much like Bush. Independent voters are going to vote for Democrats in droves if Thompson is our nominee. We need to get off the southern good-ol’ boy network if we want to win. Seriously.
No, he sounds more like Reagan. I don't hear Bush saying that the immigration bill is amnnesty. I don't hear Bush telling Calderon off. I don't see Bush telling off Michael Moore.
Okay, be the first to say it. LOL!
If he sounds like Reagan then he sounds like an old, tired version of Reagan. I don’t like the amnesty bill any more than you do but the fact is that Thompson looks and sounds old and washed up. His speeches, or at least the ones he doesn’t read off a prompter or script, are dull and droning. It might not sound nice but it’s true. A slow southern style is not going to cut it this year after eight years of Bush. A vote for Thompson in the primary is a defensive vote. If the party goes with this man we have no opportunity to turn any blue states red in the general election and all the reason to believe we will lose ground. The public as a whole is tired of the Southern act from the Republicans.
And what magic candidate do you support?
-The cross dressing statist liberal?
-The slick used-car salesman from Massachusetts?
-The mentally disturbed old guy from Arizona?
-The hopelessly unelectable border hawk from Colorado?
-The hopelessly unelectable border hawk from California?
-The certifiably insane, pseudo libertarian cut and runner M.D. from Texas?
Which speeches would those be?
that is an excellent summary, i look forward to PSUadam’s response. we can vote for whomever we choose, but we also must choose from those who are running.
Which is why he gets paid big bucks as a public speaker, of course.
I think he is saying he would rather have an effeminate, lisping, cross-dressing nominee. One who would pale to the masculine features of Hillary Clinton.
Then why is he polling so well even before entering the race?
No candidate is perfect. Quite right. I’d be happy to support Giuliani. You guys need to stop drinking the kool-aid. A cross-dresser? Are you serious? It was a joke. Bush has an approval of about 30 percent and you guys want to go with a guy that is just like him. I’d rather take half a loaf. And I’m glad you brought up Hillary Clinton because that’s exactly who will be president if the Republicans nominate Thompson. Taft screwed us in Ohio. It’s going to go to the Democrats. How are we going to make that up? Thompson sure as hell won’t take any states into our column from the Northeast. Hillary may yet be able to pick up Arkansas.
And laugh all you want but the joke is going to be on all of us if we’re not smart about who we choose to go into battle with the Clintons.

“The public as a whole is tired of the Southern act from the Republicans.”
How well is he polling against the Democrats? Answer: Not very.
Thompson isn’t “just like Bush.”
In fact, from the Dems’ perspective, the candidate most often compared to Bush is Giuliani. I’ve been over to enemy territory.
They think Giuliani is Bush II. Fred? They FEAR him.
