Exploring Fred Thompson's Finances

The election process is so broken, my opinion is that ANY publicity is good publicity. The Democrats sound like idiots, but everyone knows who’s running. The electorate couldn’t tell Fred Thompson from Fred Flintstone at this point, and with the collective political IQ of this country plummeting with every passing November, playing it safe is not going to cut it, IMHO.

Strongly disagree.

“”The election process is so broken, my opinion is that ANY publicity is good publicity. The Democrats sound like idiots, but everyone knows who’s running. “

Not ALL publicity is good ... as in the situation of the Demoncrats the more they talk they sillier they sound as well as highlight their ability to lie without a conscience. Hardly anyone bothered to watch the Demoncrats on their latest debat on T.V. or the debate for the homos.

“The electorate couldn’t tell Fred Thompson from Fred Flintstone at this point, and with the collective political IQ of this country plummeting with every passing November, playing it safe is not going to cut it, IMHO.”

For some that is true but for his base that is false. I don’t see Fred taking the approach that others are taking. Electorate fatigue is alive and well ... normal people; not political junkies are NOT interested in this stuff till it gets closer to the election - what’s going on here is like advertising Christmas gifts at Easter time - people aren’t into it yet. Those doing this are wasting their time and money ... later folks will IGNORE them because they blew their wad and interested in someone they may no know so much about such as Fred.

To know Fred is to love Fred! I'll be doing some volunteer work for him.

And what have you got against Dungeness Crabs??

[tubebender]

I just can’t envision this woman as First Lady. No way.

You were expecting Rosie O'?

[Calpernia]

I never had Dungeness. Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try them.

[lkco]

Sheesh, what an ugly wedding dress. The ‘bouquet’ is so huge it looks like she’s carrying a rifle. I just can’t envision this woman as First Lady. No way.

jonesie ... you'll have to add this one to your list.

May stick it in somewhere. I’ll have to consider the source, Shenna whatever is a Romeybot/Troll and judging from a quick scan of his/her/its post suffers from a severe ID-10T error some where between the processor and the interface, if you know what I mean...

[ejonesie22]

You’re just jealous because what she got was longer than what you received...

Flowers I mean...

It’s interesting to me that a sizable segment of Romney supporters seem to have looks as a top priority. Among this group, criticism of Fred’s and Jeri’s looks tends to be the most frequent complaint about Thompson’s candidacy, and gushing about Mitt’s and his wife’s looks tends to be one of the top reasons they cite for supporting Romney.

I don’t see this so much from supporters of any other candidate — it seems to be a peculiarity of some (not all) Mitt backers. It does not reflect well on Romney’s candidacy that a noticeable segment of his supporters chose him because of the way he and his wife look.

[ejonesie22]

Funny that you say that. It leads me to a theory, sort of a walks like a duck, talks like a duck thing. Elections based on looks is very high school, so are insults and derogatory comments about clothes and appearance. Hurling insults at those with whom you disagree is also a trait seen in teenagers.

Therefore it does not take a great leap to assume that many of these “supporters” are up past bedtime on mommy and daddy’s PC. I am sure they get a big kick out of “playing with the adults” in homeroom the next morning.

[ejonesie22]

She’s a little behind, no Internet up at summer camp...

[hoosierpearl]

Well now, I’m sure she was posing for a First Lady picture, running to be first lady that long ago.

My father in law used to tell me, if you can’t say something nice say nothing at all. Especially when you’re talking about another person’s hairstyle or appearance. What goes around comes around.
