I just don’t get the lacadaisical meme. It seems entirely lacking any evidentiary support. It looks like nothing more than a leftist talking point - a slander, really - that has been picked up and taken on a life of its own.
I just can’t see a single thing about fred that says lazy to me. He has stronger, more detailed positions than any other candidate of either party, he has been consistent longer than any other Republican, he expresses himself well, he is likable.
I just think that the average voter with a tendency toward Fred has been beaten down by the constant slanderous drumbeat of laziness and the he can’t win. What he needs to do to beat that back is to surprise everyone in Iowa. I hope he can pull it off.
He’s getting my vote, and my money.
Whereas Guliani and Romney are fast talking north-easterners. Their supporters err in thinking that fast talk and the energy to do so is more important than slow clear substantive speeches that to one group are illuminating and believable and to Guliromney supporters are boring and sleep inducing because they have no appreciation of law, history and current challenges but are taken by fake imagery and false bravado.
And there are plenty more debates to separate the charlatans from the southern gentleman with the statesman demeanor.
I agree with every word you said. I keep WAITING for Fred to do something to disappoint me and he has not. I am impressed that he is out front on issues online DAILY and I cannot disagree with any of his positions so far.
I do not know why we want a Type A Party-all-Night President. We had one of those, didn’t we, who, when his day was done, still had energy left to go downstairs and have phone sex with an intern?
And didn’t we also have a Lazy, Sleepy, Old President once too? I think we could form a good consensus on this forum that Ronald Reagan was one of the better Presidents of the 20th century, and yet he took naps!
Lazy like a FOX.
