Uhhhhhhh...
What?
Or very well thought out or from an unbiased source.
Looks like Fred scares the beejeezuz out of David Weigel-—the man is virtually incoherent.
So...the choices are shaping up to be a bad actress in the RAT camp who uniformly gets rave reviews from a fawning, lickspittle press and an actor from the Pubby side that will, no doubt, get uniformly bad reveiws.
Hmmmm...lessee...criminal traitor who is praised by the left, or lightweight establishment actor/pol that is offered as a counterpoint to the vacuous front runners and blackhorse wingnuts...what to do?
Although I voted for an actual Conservative (Tom McClintock) in the California recall election of 2003, we unfortunately elected a liberal actor (SchwartzenKennedy) who has since spent more than Davis wouldn't have imagined in his wildest wet dreams, and who now counsels Conservative Republicans to give up Conservatism and become "moderates" (=Democrats). We are in grave danger.
Jassah Jagson would be more coherent three days into a crack binge in a nitrous bottling plant.
Usually I like Reason’s articles but this one stank. Thompson has put out more than enough general principles and policy statements and has acted upon them in the senate for a critique to be based on that.
This critique of image and how a guy who owns plaid shirts and a pickup can’t own gucci’s is lame, lame, lame.
It is unbelievable the shallowness and poorly thought out writing of the recent Fred bashing articles. They are so much in a panic to get the Fred bash out they are not even thinking straight and are publishing pure gibberish.
LOL!
Actually, Fred bought the truck at a used-car lot - and still owns it.
Any time the terms "aw-shucks" or "folksy" appear in a story about Fred, I make it a habit to stop reading at that point - Invariably, nothing insightful or truthful will follow.
“The rationale for Thompson’s run has been refreshingly phony: It’s all about his looks, his voice, his personality. His backers have confused all of that with leadership, and Thompson, like the worst actor, is starting to believe his reviews. That’s a mistake. The point of Fred Thompson is that he was never serious.”
A lot of folks are convinced that Thompson is a conservative. Now they’ve even got him believing it. Lessons are sure learned the hard way.
Factually incorrect. Good to know where you take your cues from.
Yeah right! Concerns of lefty gay girlie men maybe!
Does this guy have a degree in anything remotely resembling a college major that would require a passing grade in writing skills?
These article authors who somehow think that they are being "really, really cute", need to wise up.
There is sure some sad, sad articles being posted for perusal on FR these days.
Awww, concern from the RudyBooster. Isn’t that nice? So glad you’re so concerned...you should be.
I'd say that's a good enough reason to vote for him right there!
Crikey! Does anyone remember what they said about Ronald Reagan when he ran for governor and subsequently president? ["second-rate B-movie actor"]
His seemingly lack of enthusiasm has not impressed me. I am watching him over the next couple of weeks to see if my impression changes, but so far I agree with much of what is written. If he thinks he is going to get he nod with doom and gloom, I think he may be mistaken.
I know I will get flamed for this post, but if anyone can honestly tell me that the man on Jay Lenos couch last week was inspiring and exciting, I will be surprised. Please, look at it objectively, and not from the rah rah viewpoint, the man was talked into this by grass root supporters, and he now has to prove that he has the enthusiasm to sustain the support.
Reason Magazine represents a big constituency in the Republican Primary, right up there with Salon, Slate and Huffington Post. LOL I would be concerned if they had anything good to say about Fred. Their contempt IMHO shoould be wornas a badge of honor, and it is a clear indication that they fear Fred Thompson.
