Liberal Steffie just doesn't get it, especially on taxes.

Steffie tried his best to trip Thompson up, but Fred was ready for his Democrat talking points.

calex59, ABC doesn’t offer a slower streaming rate for dialup. but you may want to try this: Move your mouse over the TV screen on the ABC webpage and click on the Real Player pop-up icon which says “Download This Video.” It may take a while to load, but once you’ve got it captured, it should buffer and play correctly.

“For those of us on dial up, what happened? Thanks in advance.”

I know what you are going through. When I was on dial up I would just let the videos load.....even if it took an hour. Then would go back and watch it. Perhaps a transcript of Fred’s interview will be posted soon. But hearing or watching the interview is the way to see Fred at his best!

...manager are folks that leaders hire...

Excellent comeback when challenged about not having experience managing a City or State.

I also watched the interview with George on This Week. Fred was very Presidential and took control of the interview immediately. George tried several times to cut him off and Fred stopped it. I was very pleased, but not shocked. I think he has found his game and is moving around the MSM very well. He is going directly to the people and they feel a little of themselves in him.

I especially enjoyed his response to George’s inquisition as to his “executive experience.” “Leaders hire managers.” I felt it was a home run aimed at Rudy and Mitt. The interview was very good.

Fred Thompson will be the Republican’s choice for our “Pro-Life” party. Rudy will fade into the background and support the WE THE PEOPLE candidate: Fred Dalton Thompson.

Fred is such a compelling guy. I’d feel safe with him at the helm.

Fred once again owned an interview. He doesn’t allow the interviewer to lead he controls the interview and gets his points across. And Fred will always tell you the truth whether it is popular or not he isn’t worried about all these false polls. The only poll that will matter in the end is the vote count. For all of those with dial up. It’s time to get on with your lives. Pay the price for high speed and quit mooching off others.

Yes, he did own Stuffedwithpoopalous. Every time that Georgie got ready to ask a question then smirk about it, Thompson cut him off at the pass and made him look like a lightweight.

The danged page keeps refreshing after about 7 or 8 minutes and I don’t get past there.

Anyone record it yet?

papasmurf, are your trying to download the video first, or are you just trying to watch it at ABC’s streaming rate?

There aren’t any options to download it.

On my windows box, I don’t see, or find, a real player/media icon or logo. It’s flash player9. And on my linux box, it’s just a blank screen.

The properties says it’s abc video player.

Dadgummit! It was good, what I saw of it. LOL

What with the new attack plan from former NYC fire fighters - I suspect they will dampen Rudy’s rise in the polls.

Fred looked and sounded great. I wish him the best and look forward to casting my vote for him in the general election.
