Poor Fred, looks like someone from the cast of the Munsters.

Yeah, and the old man still has it! How many other 50 year olds were out banging hotties half their ages. Women aren't attracted to a guy's looks, kid. It's all about self-confidence and the personal heat you're packing. At least Fred never played dress up and speaks with a lisp. Fred's a REAL man, not some cross-dressing New Yorker.

Unlike Rudy, Fred wears the pants in the family and stays out of his wife’s closet.

Thompson emanates a gravitas just by standing.

Love this line.

If your whole post is from National Review’s KJL, I’m a little suprised...she has been praising Romney to the skies ever since he announced. Maybe she’s watching his poll numbers.

FRED is SMART! He's not declared and getting more media face time than the front runners.

AND he isn't spending any money to get it!

Sorry girls - you know what I mean.

Don't apoligize! I agree with you! I see Fred Thompson as the epitome of a Southern Gentleman, tough with folks who need it, gracious to all others. That is not wussy, it is class.

Go Fred.

There's enough good men in the field and waiting in the wings to whip the Democrat's butts. I believe we might even take back the House and Senate.

Can't believe that Americans will stand by and watch our great country belittled by these traitorous wusses.

LOL, a cross of Chuck Norris and the Incredible Hulk.

From the sound of those unverified facts, he can chew nails and spit out BBs.

In addition, here's an earlier post (from yesterday, May 1):

Thompson Analysis from Britain:   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

The talk surrounding a Thompson candidacy is more a sign of Republican discontent with the current slate of candidates than genuine enthusiasm for what he could bring to the race. While he may shortly jump in the ring, he is unlikely to trouble the leading contenders.

If a vacuous British word-smith creature of the night were escorted around the bars of Boston, would their Herculean leap across the bar to place their muzzle under the tap at the first pub that had Guinness indicate their genuine enthusiasm for the stout, or just be the result of their discontent with the choices on tap at all of the places they had tippled in up until then?

“.....Women aren’t attracted to a guy’s looks, kid. It’s all about self-confidence and the personal heat you’re packing.....”

I would add celebrity status and mucho money to the list too.

My problem is not with those who say positive things about Giuliani. My problem is with those who call me a Hillary supporter when I dare point out facts about his record, and say I can’t vote for him.

My problem is not even with those who want to bet the farm on a candidate several different GOP constituencies can’t support — even though that is an objectively risky bet that may negatively affect all of us! My problem is with those who plan to throw those dice, but pre-emptively blame others in the likely case that their own gamble doesn’t pay off.

Hey, it's all the Fredophobes have. You don't exactly expect well argued opposition do you?

It truly is amusing to witness the cognitive dissonance over Fred at the new anti-freeper site.

What's the name of this site?
