He does make some valid points, albeit snarkily...

I spoke with Mr. Whitford at a Fred event last week. He’s not a political expert by any means. He had never heard of FreeRepublic.
I did get a laugh out of him quoting Tad “a tad too”Devine.

I wouldn’t mind a President who spent four days a week exclusively on internal and external security and then took three days off.
Please spare me a “busy” President who spends seven days a week trying to figure out how to take away my liberties.

I remember President Jimmy Carter micromanaging EVERYTHING, down to the scheduling of the White House tennis courts! He was the WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. so whatever the opposite of him is, is my choice....

"He's like a dad, a good dad - dependable, unflappable, familiar. "
EXACTLY my reaction to President Ronald Reagan, at the one live speech I attended.

Like other liberal writers, he confuses, or pretends to confuse, laziness with common sense. And the same with Fred’s speaking style. It’s plain, direct, honest, and to my mind exactly what I want to hear, not some two-bit orator pretending to emote at me like Al Gore or Jean Kerri.
Liberals are so far out of it, they don’t even recognize it when someone behaves like a normal person.

Hey, I will vote for whoever gets the nod, but this guy is not anyone I can get excited about. The comparisons to Reagan are silly. I remember being so excited every time I heard Reagan talk. I went out and worked hard in 1980 for him. Fred is not Reagan. It just slays me to read you guys trying to put lipstick on a pig.

I worked for both Presidents Carter and Reagan. Unbelievable difference in the two: Mr. Carter was in way over his head, Mr. Reagan made it look easy, like a tv show.

Dick Wolf (creator of "Law and Order") pays me a lot of money to work two days a week. Why would I work for less money and work six days a week? That's supposed to show he's lazy? To me, it shows he's smart.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Thompson is lazy, he doesn't lust for the presidencyGood! His staff should be selling the "he doesn't really want the job, but feels it's his duty, like George Washington did" theme. Voters would love the change.
