“Sure, but Fred hasn’t done anything to combat the MSM’s attempt to railroad him. He’s played into it.

A 17 minute closing argument web video for Iowa? You gotta be %@$!*& kidding me! And he took almost 10 minutes to get around to saying anything in it. Unbelievable. Hillary Clinton’s closing argument video is 2 minutes. And she stays focused and direct. She hits all of her points. Fred hardly even touches on his national security credentials in his.

With closing arguments like that, I really wonder how he ever won a court case. He makes me angry because I feel like he’s purposely sabotaging his own campaign — or someone inside his campaign is by deliberately feeding him bad advice. Perhaps it’s his wife because she doesn’t want to have to move to Washington, D.C...”

You know a campaign is in trouble when it picks a fight with Fox News.

Sure, Fred Thompson needs to model his campaign after Hillary Clinton’s. Ya, that’s the ticket!

“A 17 minute closing argument web video for Iowa? You gotta be %@$!*& kidding me! And he took almost 10 minutes “

EXACTLY!! I’m sorry folks, with all due respect to David Limbaugh, the only thing ‘refreshing’ about Fred Thompson(right now) is the nap I just had listening to his video message in Iowa on youtube!

I understand exactly what David Limbaugh is saying, but ‘fire in the belly’ IS important...so is modulating your voice every now and then to make an important point.

Fred needs to understand that the big bucks are holding back right now because HE IS HOLDING BACK. Folks that are serious about conservatism want to back a winner..and perhaps that is why Limbaugh(David) ends his article with a caveat: “Time to step up Fred”...

and I might add to that:....’time to lose the monotone drawl that puts conservatives(and most everyone else) to sleep’.
