(Video)Fred Thompson’s First Ad
Stop The ACLU ^ | 5 Sep 07 | Jay777

Posted on 09/05/2007 9:39:53 AM PDT by Jay777

He has gathered a few critics for playing the game differently, but I think he still stands out unique. He’ll be on Leno tonight and announce on his website. Here is the video of his first ad which will air during the Republican debate he is missing for Leno.

Watch Video Here.

Frankly, I think it's more important for us here at home rather than bring up the rest of the world.

Fred Thompson...Globalist Republican for President

He is definitely a head bobber. The way he does that reminds me of a news anchor. I think he should tone that down a little.

A little too perky, yah? I did like that he paced his words much quicker than usual. It was very effective, not the usual coma-inducing Southern drawl thing like his appearances on L&O often were. So I'm generally liking the upbeat, more energetic tone of the ad. But there was too much head motion given the quick pace of the words. Of course, I still have my True Conservative candidate to support. But a little windowshopping doesn't hurt either.

When I first read that Fred would run an ad during the debate, I said it seemed tacky. But this is a pretty good ad overall.

Then let me adjust my numbers. Is there a debate coming up? Between whom? (That is what 96% of people in New Hampshire are asking right now)

I think it's rude and ugly behavior for the other candidates to hold a debate during Fred's ad. I don't like it!

Good point! But some folks might think you're a teensy-bit biased. LOL.

There is nothing wrong with Fred. The doc`s have given him a clean bill of health. Fred places his family and personal well being ahead of everything. Meaning, if he had a recurrence of his cancer, he wouldn’t be running for POTUS. Thompson has been working out with a personal trainer for the last few months. He’s lost some weight in building up his stamina. I’d say that shows a serious candidate and someone who is up to the challenge of a presidential campaign.

If Fred can’t cut the mustard, we’ll know before long.

Funny. You're worried about how his head bobbing looks while most of us are distracted by McCain/Feingold/Thompson and his lack of respect for our constitutionally protected right to free speech.

I see the Ron Paul supporters have escaped from the asylum again and are hard at work posting comments on You Tube.

I'm not sure why you think RP folk did it. But it's always easier to sit around bitching about other people's activism efforts instead of going out and overcoming them with your own message for your own candidate, it seems.

Why don't you simply go post some pro-Fred comments there at YouTube instead?

Where you been? Fred has denounced that part of McCain-Feingold that he supported as a failure. He now says lift the limits on contributions and require immediate posting of all donations on the internet. Smart move.

He sure bobs his head a lot in that commercial.

Of course I still like him.

General Franks would be good. Or Petraeus. Or that general in New Orleans who told the press they were stuck on stupid.

JC Watts
Ken Blackwell
Mike Pence
Michael Steele

There are a lot of good ones out there.

I think he does look a little slimmer, maybe a bit stronger, and his voice is strong. His face is more angular and attractive now, makes him look a little younger, move vital. His makeup was professional, not pancaked on with a trowel or trying to hide his age. Good appearance, not trying to pretend he's ten years younger than he is, makes him look young enough to be president without resorting to makeup tricks and such.

I don't like all the head bobbing. (But I'm not voting based on how little herky-jerky movements a guy makes).

has it, plus has it from a newspaper website. Two different servers involved. You might try that. I had no trouble with those links.

I count 24 official head-bobs in the last 20 seconds of a 30 second commercial. His first ten seconds worked better without the head bobbing.

Of course, maybe he's going to launch a bobble-head Fred doll, like they have for the other candidates. LOL.

Because they are invoking the guy's name?
