What you are doing is a childish thread-jacking. I was definitely "jacking" my own thread. That is quite perspicacious of you.

My law partners keep suggesting that it is time that I appoint a conservator for myself. The time is coming ever nearer.

As was commented on in another thread, I'd love to see him take JC Watts as his running mate...when it gets to that point. Damn strong ticket in terms of both electability and conservatism.

I'm quite sure that you have a lot of experience "jacking" yourself.
I'll now leave you alone while in your current session.

"The real issue is which accent do Californians dislike most - a Southern accent or a New York accent?"
Speaking as a Californian with some early years in the Rocky Mountain states, I didn't like either type for quite awhile.
The typical stereotypes seemed to apply. The NY-Eastern types would be pushy big city folks. The Southern impression was of folks not too bright.
Many years in international business erased stereotypes. Sen. Sessions is one of the most consistently effective guys, when it comes to clear thinking and clear talking-accent or no accent.
And I had a boss from New Jersey, a stereotypical Italian guy. Smart as could be. Nice guy, too.
Something puzzles me. How do some people manage to not take on regional accents, or to shed same? Gingrich for example.

Bingo! Also Senator Inhofe had to take to the floor of the Senate with his speech on Theft of Nuclear Secrets when the Thompson investigation gave a bit of a whitewash to the whole deal. Half hearted attempt so when Thompson was one of four Senators to endorse McCain and campaign for him in 2000, Sen Inhofe came out for President Bush and went around the Country campaigning.,

He will have to ignite some passion among the populace, leading quickly to an influx of several million dollars.
Otherwise he will remain only a figure of interest, and at most a vp contender.

Pure drivel, to start off with Fred is a Lawyer, has practiced and won many important cases. He could raise tremendous amounts of money. He has great name recognition. He is plenty smart, also knows where a lot of the skeleton's are buried in Washington, and Hillary does not want to debate him. Just get behind him or leave him alone; he is the best Republican we can field.

Both men are excellent communicators.

Some interesting facts about Fred Thompson: *The reason Fred Thompson didn't want to stay in the Senate for long is because all the extra scrutiny kept him from doing his favorite hobby: Prowling the streets at night killing drug dealers.
Fred Thompson stated that the reason he was leaving the senate was because his daughter had died.
Your reason sounds like pure BC.

IIRC, you were on McCain's bandwagon in 2000. Now it's Rudy? If Fred runs, Fred wins. Even Pete Rose knows which way to bet on that one...

Yes!! I would like to see that ticket!!
To: Torie
This Rudy supporter wonders just who will be the FIRST poster to observe that Fred Thompson is just another ersatz "conservative" RINO fifth columnist. The winner gets the Torie prize.
Without looking down the thread, I'd guess FairOpinion. Or M. Thatcher or Corin Stormhands. Depends on who gets here first.
The official line goes something like "he voted for CFR so therefore he's a doppelganger to help McStain win the nomination". Sounds silly to me but there you have it.
Still, you shouldn't worry. Rudy can beat 'em all in every state. Well, maybe,
unless Bloomberg runs.

Isn't J.C. one of the GOP big names who has been most supportive of a Fred run?
Yeah, I could see the two of them running together.
Thompson/Watts vs. Rodham/Obama? I'll take that match.

Maybe you should share some of you long beautiful hair with Thompson. Just a thought.
I'll take Thompson's look and voice over the bald lisping mayor with the facial tics.
