Fish...or cut bait. Sick of hearing of the guy otherwise.
How many times are they going to drag that quote out?
How many times are they going to drag that quote out?
It works, it’s true, and it tells us something about the man.
Get used to it.
His job is not to entertain you, it is to reach the people. That quote will do the job, for the next 17 months.
You see, it makes it clear that is is not “of Hollywood”, not “of DC”.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Hopefully he is done using it now.
That’s right, Fred is coming in because he sees the country needs a man with his ideas at this critical time in history. He knows the current crop really don’t have what it takes to lead the country right now. They all want to be President purely for ego, Fred wants it because there’s no one else either qualified or who’s a winner.
This is the biggest primary mismatch ever, Fred Thompson all 6 foot 6 of him against the lilliputians.
Here is the difficulty for Fred: He is insisting on running as an outsider, but that does not jive with his 15 year stint as a lobbyist. The Dems will attack him with this.
I, too, would like the nation's top job especially if I didn't have to run for it. Could I just be appointed or declared President without jumping into the fray?
Interested Citizen
I’d rather hear about some issues than “campaign slogans”
Do you have some reference that Fred said anything like this, or are you just parroting a statement giving the opinion of an AP reporter?
There are plenty of discussions of Fred Thompsons positions on the issues right here at FR. The Tonight Show probably isn't the best place to go if you're looking for serious political debate.
“Actor Fred Thompson says he’d like nation’s top job (but stops short of jumping in)”
He wants to host American Idol?
Great Scoop. I am staying up past my bed time to watch him.

yeah, yeah...except considering the fact that Hilary, Obama, and the other idiots out there have decided that they want to run a YEAR before most other people, he is still on track for a normal length campaign.

Sure thing! Just raise $10,000 an hour, outpoll every Republican but Giuliani, and then we’ll talk about your next steps.
Agree. Thompson needs to sh!t or get off the pot. Does he think the GOP is just going to hand him the nomination?
