then we agree.we just have different glasses
mine are 20/20 and yours are 20/10......lol
Nice little dust up at the end of the Fox panel over Juan’s exceptionally dumb remarks about the weasels at the State Department.
I was glad to see that Hume and Kristol thought that Croddy’s performance was an absolute disgrace and a big black mark for State.
was just thinkin’....Dick Morris makes Bill Krystal brilliant by comparrison, yet Krystal has only been good the last handful of weeks. Krystal is the middle liberal in the mix that usually pisses me off.....
If Fred leaves his family out of his campaign the press will accuse him of being neglectful, uninvested as a father and ashamed of them. They actually help him I believe to show him invested in his life, his future and his kids’ futures.
Divorced and remarried...so what? Many people are and will relate to that. I don’t see that as a problem whatsoever, particularly when the ex-wife has come out publically supporting Fred’s campaign and her family maintains good relationships with him.
He’s already been accused of having a trophy wife and has handled that well IMO.
Fred has stated several times that he’s never felt even one day of sickness from the indolent lymphoma or the treatment. It was discovered upon routine exam, treated successfully and remains in remission. Easily treated again should it become active again. But no symptoms or sickness was ever involved according to what Thompson has repeatedly reported.
Do be extra vigilant and critical when reading reports of the media regarding Fred, snugs. They are scared witless about him.
Fred is doing well. He is controlling the pace and the tone of the interview and not allowing Tim to have the control. Noticed that the last time Tim read a quote from a paper he changed his vernacular to ..this is what they said ...instead of this is what you said.
LOL. I can see it now the "Grumpy Old Men" ticket representing the Grumpy Old Party.
I believe you are correct. Also I think the weight loss is part of a plan to make him look good in the final stretch, his physical appearance will get better and better. He knows all about the projection of image from his acting experience.
Thanks for the ping!
imagine Eisenhower in that chair today just occupied by one
Fred Dalton Thompson.............it would have been the
same demeaner and effect because what both would have said was the truth. It’s all good.
Just being realistic that those voting will be.
I thought Fred did an excellent job.
The big thing was that Fred is not afraid to answer semi-straight questing with straight forward answers.
He refused to triangulate and realizes that voters don't like candidates that are all over the place trying to please every one and in effect pissing everyone off.
He was a little lacking in charisma but that seems to be somewhat contagious this election cycle.
On Mushariff in Pakistan Fred picked up right away that Mushariff is probably trying to solidify his position now that Mrs. Bukito is back in town. He looked beyond all Mushariff's stoopid over reaction and realized just how important Pakistan is to the U.S.,good response.
On Iraq he shut Timmy down by pointing out our victories over there.
Russert tried time after time to use Fred's words against him but it never worked,the closest he came was on the abortion debacle where Fred was confusing at best but bottom line is he's a states rights guy and so am I.
Fred straightened out Timmy on Osamma telling him the wot will still go if Osamma is taken out and also told Timmy in no uncertain terms we are in a "global conflict" with people like Iran who still think the thirteenth imam is coming back.
His take on Iran was good as was his overall take on actions like waterboarding "measures meet circumstances". One quote he made that had me cheering was "the less govt. the better".
He also handled his "pot selling buddy Phil" well by stating that he would talk to him but would not "throw him under the bus" until he had the talk.
His obvious differences between bubba and himself kept coming through--medical records,character and many other things. All in all I thought Thompson did an excellent job.
Exactly,the BDS quotient is so rampant its hard to fathom sometimes.
From 2003 through 2007, over 2,000 career Foreign Service members volunteered to serve in Iraq.
Repealing Roe v Wade returns Abortion to the state’s. Even the strictest Right to Lifer knows that beyond that any President is largely powerless to effect the Abortion debate.
