Fred has been underwhelming, to put it mildly.

Thompson motivation hard to pinpoint
Politico | 11/23/2007 | Jonathan Martin

"(excerpt) After a long-awaited and overly hyped debut, Thompson endured a gaffe-prone first few weeks. After suffering through lampooning so severe that it even broke through the pop culture bubble via "Saturday Night Live," Thompson has sought to bounce back by focusing on his true passion: policy and ideas. ... Even his own aides and advisers acknowledge privately that there are days when he seems disinterested in running for president at all. ... But just what sort of factor Thompson will be is as difficult to figure out as the motivations, work habits and true ambitions of the candidate himself. “It’s getting a little late for Thompson, who may have squandered an almost unprecedented opportunity,” said American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene."

Fred is not power hungry, so he isn’t interested eh?
I find his no nonsense approach refreshing.

Fred is running for America, not for power.

Fred is not business as usual

I guess that post means that we all need to start paying more attention to your Huckabee threads.

I hope that we all can rise up to the challenge.

Is that the most significant comment that you can muster? Weak, very weak.

Oh Dano.

I had such high hopes for you. While you were shilling like mad for that RINO Huckabee I was pleased you were at least not acting like a Mittwitt...

Ah, tis not to be I fear..

So let me help out like I try and do for them.

This is a CONSERVATIVE website, the nmber one on the Internet. For details on what a Conservitive looks like see either Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter’s website.

Another post right from the MSM about Fred’s lack of excitement about the presidency? Personally I am not thrilled about a candidate that wants it so badly that they will say anything or do anything just to get elected. Fred seems like the guy who says “this is what I believe, this is where I stand and if you agree, vote for me”.

I am going to vote for Fred.

Posting that a lot, aren’t you.

I’ll post my comments on your post, again, on this thread.

I’d recommend not believing everything you read, and half of what you see. I note the sources are anonymous, which immediately raises my suspicions.

I’m not familiar with that site. What is their agenda, generally? Are they shilling for any candidates in particular?

A little searching around reveals this about the site:

# Editor in Chief, John F. Harris (former political editor of The Washington Post)
# Executive Editor, Jim VandeHei (former national political reporter of The Washington Post)

Hmmm. The site was started in January of 2007, so these guys are recent Posties. The chances of them being friends of Conservatives are two: slim, and none.

A fine post from the head shill for the Pro-Life liberal from Arkansas.

Right, right. No fire in his belly. We got it.

BTW, I’m still waiting for your reply on the other thread about whether or not you’re associated with the Huckabee campaign.

“seems disinterested in running”

PRECISELY the sort of person we need in the presidency. George Washington was such a man. Pressed into office in the first place, he was more interested in seeking a career in Farming after the revolutionary war than he was in a political career. George Washington Stepped down after two terms even though they wished to elect him perpetually.

That is the kind of person we need in the presidency.

Hey dano1,

Now you crossed the line.

I used to think you were just a whole-hearted supporter of your candidate and would try just to deal with the issues.

But by using the same slimy, unethical tactics that other Fred-bashers have been using you have gone to the dark side.

Good luck with getting a sympathetic ear anymore from anybody with an ounce of objectivity.

Huckabee is an open-borders socialist and a snake-oil peddling fraud, to put it mildly.
