true conservatives will like it

just remember Katrina

[Morgan in Denver]

You could very well be right. Fred purposely did not campaign for quite awhile, letting the field do the infighting.

[Shortstop7]

I agree, Laverne. He sounds great so far.

[Cedric]

Espousing states’ rights on abortion is savvy, politically.

[snugs]

I must admit Duncan Hunter is my favourite and it seems to me prior to stating he was running he had quite a few appearances on the Sunday talk shows but a few months before he stated he was running the invitations appear to have stopped.

I suspect they knew he was going to run and had to make sure that the American public forgot about him.

[advertising guy]

snugs.....actually he is echoing what the conservatives have said on the Supreme Court

[kabar]

Dubya's strengths as a politician against both Gore and Kerry were that he was "comfortable in his own skin" and could communicate in a down-to-earth, folksy manner. Bush was/is not an enegetic, galvanizing speaker in the mode of a Reagan, the "Great Communicator." Bush's malapropism and speaking gaffes have become a daily source of jokes by the late night talk shows, especially Letterman's Great Moments In Presidential Speeches, which is daily fare on his show five days a week.

[Bahbah]

I highly recommend the segment with former President Bush. His goodness and decency cannot be missed.

How very different from what we have with the Clintons.

[advertising guy]

was just fixin to post the same.........what an honest and decent man

[snugs]

Yep that my fear as well. The press have had a field day with Cheney and his health but compared to Thompson Cheney looks robust and healthy.

It is also interesting and worrying that it has been rumoured that after several days campaigning etc that Thompson has taken time off. How true this is or if it is just MSM spin I do not but if it is true he could not do this as President.

At this juncture to me he has not given the impression that he could keep up with the VP’s schedule let alone the President’s schedule.

This is 2007 and people expect their leader to jump on a plane at a minute notice and go to the other side of the world, give a speech, meet a few people come straight back and resume their normal daily schedule of meetings, touring the country photo ops etc. I worry that Thompson is giving the impression he would not be able to do this.

[Shortstop7]

I worry that you’re listening to much to the talking points of the MSM. ;-)

[jmyrlefuller]

Meanwhile on FTN...

They just had a pretty good interview with Benazir Bhutto.

And then they go to Biden. It’s all doomed, the extremists are going to power. Blames the Bush administration... predictable.

[snugs]

Whoops have I got it the wrong way round I thought today was the wedding anniversary and tomorrow was her birthday - need to google.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

what an honest and decent man

Yes, as long as we don't judge a man by the company he keeps.
He was the first president I ever voted for, and I don't regret it, but soon he'll have a better ex-pres to keep him company and I hope never to see him in the same room with x42 ever again.

[advertising guy]

once again IMHO,Fox screws up again......Show Edwards ACTUAL pol ad then talk about vs not showing it and commenting.....

[Cedric]

Yes, and I hope Fred’s calculus is correct. I, for one, hope we return to the era of the 10 month presidential campaigns, not the 2 year bore-a-thons we’ve recently been subjected to.

[Bahbah]

I, for one, hope we return to the era of the 10 month presidential campaigns, not the 2 year bore-a-thons we’ve recently been subjected to.

Amen to that.

[jmyrlefuller]

Schieffer: Will the terrorists get nukes if things get out of hand?

Biden: No, but the extremists are in power, so I’m not sure.

Fuller: Do you realize that it would take an incredible amount of technical knowhow to operate one of those things? Certainly much more than running a plane into a building.

[advertising guy]

GH Bush had a great answer about Bill..........yes they are different but due to being way older Bill does not disrespect GH....and frankly if Bill did GH would wipe the floor with Bill and GH implied if necessary GH would too....

[reasonisfaith]

“What Conservative should really be watching is where McCain’s voters go.”

I would expect McCain at that point to endorse Thompson, given their reported friendship, which would send a lot of them over to Thompson.
