>>>He just seems too slick and phoney<<<
Funny, the only candidate who has really achieved any degree of success in private enterprise and the most in his family life is viewed as phony.
I tend to think the supporters of a man whose biggest accomplishment on his resume is McCain-Feingold tend to be a bit phony, especially considering Thompson’s reluctance to commit to no new taxes, his unwilligness to back a border fence, his disbelief in federal tort reform, and his unwilligness to back a marriage amendment.
If Romney held those views, he’d be a non-starter. But Thompson, with his baritone southern voice, why! he’s trustworthy and a great leader. Yeah, right.
I’ve been away for a while and have been a bit taken back by all the Fred support on here (including by Jim Robinson). Any idea why so many freepers seem so enthralled with Fred? Is it just that they think he’s better than the other front runners or is there something real that’s got them hooked? I just don’t see it. I remember some of the bush bots exibiting the same kind of behavior as the Fredheads. Is there a link?
