Thompson's AWFUL Busy for Being So Lazy

The media is trying everything they can to derail FRed's campaign, since they know he'll cream their Hillary in November 2008. Mitt and Rudy would love to have the team and Southern endorsements that FRed has already gathered up.

What's most interesting about this is that it reflects his style. He's not flashy, he's solid. That's a pretty good team he has assembled there.

People are so bored if there aren't sparklers going off and "Oh WOW!" announcements every day--and yet, we're the ones who are supposed to be the adults, we're supposed to be the ones who don't care about flash and are into substance. Yet many of us are moaning "Bo-ring!"

In our media-driven culture, people tend to forget that the one we get EXCITED! about is the one we're bored with a month later. In the spring, the media would have had us just skip the preliminaries and make Barak Obama emperor. In another election cycle, the wild-soundbite-per-minute Howard Dean was DEFINITELY going to be the dem nominee. And so on.

It just seems that Fred is doing everything right for a solid, substantial campaign, whereas some of the other Republicans are trying to jam their message through with huge cash outlays so we buy them before we even know what we've bought.

President Reagan gave strict orders to be woken if anything important happened. Even if he was in a Cabinet Meeting.

It would be nice if FRed went in there and broke up the business as usual, but I doubt it will happen. I’d say just being in one of those “debates” would take the wind out of anyone’s sails. I would love it if FRed jumped Chris Mathews if he misbehaves though, I’m sure Mathews act up.

From the article: “He continues to field the pot-shots about being lazy”

I hope that if Chris Mathews asks Fred how he feels about being called lazy, that he says to Mathews, “Would you like to ask me a question of substance?”

They didn’t even mention that he was ‘folksy’ in that whole article...I feel slighted.

Fred talks to us as though we were grownups. The others shout, gesture, point - like dictators.

The media has coined this ‘boring’, ‘lazy’ to hang on him in hopes of deep sixing him. Remember the tags they hung on Pres. Bush?

I would hope republicans are smarter than that - but it’s not looking so

I hope that if Chris Mathews asks Fred how he feels about being called lazy, that he says to Mathews, “Would you like to ask me a question of substance?”

Even better, "How do you feel about being called an obnoxious jerk, Chris?"

My hope is that Thompson runs a great campaign.

And btw, tearing down the other guy won’t build up your guy.

[papasmurf]

Well, FWIW, I think your race car is “folksy”. :)

[FlashBack]

We did just recently give it that ‘folksy’ touch I guess!
That’s better than some of the comments our competitiors have thrown our way over the years ;)
Now we’re runnin on FRed-Power!!

Then why do the Hunter/Romney camps on FR insist on using it as their major campaign strategy?

Spencer Abraham...i thought he adiosed this guy
troubling.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He is doing liaison work with state legislators, congress, the senate and other government officials. He is not making policy from what I understand.

Did anyone see Hannity & Colmes tonight with Dobson and Ann Coulter?
I thought Dobson was going to pop a vessel at the mention of Fred. His animosity was downright visceral.

Ann was completely disingenuous in her comments ~ she needs to read Free Republic.

You just wanted another drink ... don't try to deny it.
