Actually, I think the main similarity between Fred and Reagan is the neither takes/took themselves too seriously. Most of the other candidates (Guiliani, Romney, Edwards, Obama, Clinton) come across as flaming narcissists.
I’m thinking that FRed is at the point in life where he’s chosen to run, but winning is not the most critical thing in life to him so he can say, “This is me. Take it or leave it.”
I’ve not donated a single dime to the pubbies since ‘06 but the minute that Fred announces, my first $100 will be sent {via the net}. I look forward to a piaps/Fred debate next fall. The network will probably have the beast standing on a box so she can appear as tall as Fred {and he’ll have to wear pads under his pants to fatten his thighs}.
I love the fact that he doesn’t take his directions from the political clowns of the msm, who wanted everyone to jump through their hoops for 18 months before the election so they would have something to cover, thus justifying their worthless existence.
If Fred wants to win in a walk, he needs to talk to the people, not the press. The other candidates are silly in trying to curry favor with the msm assassins, whose calling in life is to kill Republicans’ campaigns. Just recall George Allen, for a vivid example.
Ditto that.
Or ask Presidents Bush, Nixon, Reagan, Ford or any GOP Governor, Senator, Congressman/woman, Legistlator or dogcatcher in the USA. The media is out to get anyone with an “R” after their name, or anyone else that is even one iota pro-WOT (see Senator Joseph Lieberman). We feared a “fifth column” so much during World War II that we put almost all Japanese-Americans in concentration camps and had the FBI watching recent German & Italian immigrants. Fast forward to today, when we have a VAST fifth column in our newsrooms, blogs and radio shows, yet we do NOTHING!!

That is exactly what makes him the biggest threat...
And the best candidate for the office at this point in history...

Just reading this thread and seeing those pictures of Fred made me feel better. Thanks.
What Fred Thompson is selling is himself,
Just speculating.... but that maybe what a few of the other lower tier candidates are afraid of or should be.
Wow. That girl is just about snorting that ice cream. Not that I can’t appreciate that or anything.... slurp.
I am in the same boat as you partner. I expect a flood of cash to the campaign on day 1.
I can make you feel even better. I went to see and hear him yesterday. He passed my tests. I was very pleased.
Now wait for that #*$&% Hillary to start talking about how she actually loves this country....(but wants to convert everyone and everything in it to true believers in her new governmet/religion/cult called "Hillaryism")
Bump! IT'S FRED TIME!!
