Sadly, there's probably a lot of truth to this. But have we actually changed that much since 1996? And does this mean that we as Republicans are just as obtuse as the American sheeple at large? Weren't the obtuse sheeple supposed to be on the rat side, while we in the GOP were supposed to be the thoughtful and responsible voters?

I read this board often and there are plenty of “conservatives” that want a cheerleader. I prefer steady and sober in a leader from my military/law enforcement days but different folks - different strokes.
The media coverage of Thompson is stuck on “lazy and lackluster” when he is possibly the hardest working candidate in the race if you take his life record and examine it closely.
Unfortunately, the nomination process looks much like the Heisman trophy award (whomever ESPN and the sports commentators promote wins).
I like Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson but according to the media all three of those lack “gravitas” but despite the repeated negative coverage he is still polling pretty well IMO.
