Other than the bouncing back and forth in his chair (which admittedly, I myself do) I thought it was just fine.

That’s his style, love it or not.

Thank you, for posting this.

As a FRedhead, I know, too well, we have an uphill battle ahead of us. The deck is stacked, to be sure, against ANY true Conservative in this race, and I think we all know it.

As FRed is, IMO, our best hope, and I’m sure the test of time will bear this out, doesn’t it make sense to get behind a winner and offer your patriotic support?

Won’t you join with us, in a combined effort to beat the two headed RINO of Rudy and Mitt?

It will take everything we have to beat them, and the hildebeast in 08’. We NEED your help to do it.

Thanks.

Very much, thanks for posting. Glad to finally see a candidate who is about substance over symbolism.

Fred Thompson- Statesman

For some reason, the video isn’t working well for me; check back later.

I thought the rocking was a nice touch. It exudes relaxation, security and confidence.

Does anyone know the "Law and Order" viewer demographics off hand? There must be some interesting focus group results with women on Arthur Branch vs. the Hildebeast that have the Demonrats seriously concerned.

He was answering a question from someone at an Editorial Board, in a sit-down Q&A session.

He answered the question.

He informed the Board of his intent and positions.

I didn't see any "Puffery", diversionary responses, or a non-response.

Which of the following were you looking for him to do?

Inspire:

a: to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration.

b: to exert an animating, enlivening, or exalting influence on

c: to spur on.

I’m trying to figure out what his reason for running is. Platitudes are nice. But some specificity is helpful as well.
