I have NEVER doubted Fred’s ability to slug it out — I’d have been absolutely stunned if he couldn’t.
“’If a man can do all that and be lazy, I recommend it to everybody,’ Thompson said to loud applause.”
That he might be lazy NEVER entered my mind. If anyone on these threads has come so far and accomplished as much, my hat is off to you as well as Fred.
What I’m trying desperately to do is accustom myself to his “laid-back” approach to the campaign. I’m all for the “slow, but steady wins the race,” approach, but lets pump it up, boy.
Mike Huckabee was the clear winner of the debate last night. Others held their own, rose in acceptance somewhat, but Huckabee and Hunter showed well.
Once, again, I was so proud of all of them. McCain’s star-power line about Woodstock, Rudy’s “Hillary Quote,” Fred’s “No apologies,” were show stoppers. Mitt needs to pump it up, but he lost no ground. Tancredo was priceless on the post debate interviews.
Ron Paul hit the nail on the head for medical insurance and the problems everyone is encountering (docs and patients). He’s shrill and I’d have to put cotton in my ears through every State of the Union address, and he sounds like the village idiot on other issues — BUT HE’S OUR IDIOT and the first guy who takes a shot at him will have to duck my ire.
I’m proud of the field, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM — I want them all in the White House — preferably at once. They each have a piece of the puzzle.
1. It'd be the shortest State of the Union address; "I BELIEEEEEEVE!!!"
2. It's somehow refreshing to know that some of us on FR are willing to vote for a man, not because he's the village idiot, but because he's OUR IDIOT! That's really Kool (in an 'Aid' sort of way) :)
3. Ire away! I need a laugh.
You know what I like about Ron Paul? He's the one guy running who would have the guts to tell us the truth about what's going on at Area 51!
As much as I can't stand McCain, his line that ended with "...I was tied up at the time" was clearly the best of the evening.
