Conservative positions should not need “revealing” if one is an actual Conservative...

Thompson is a lethargic, snooze-fest candidate. He has no realistic chance of winning the nomination, and it’s a good thing he doesn’t. He could never win the general election. He just doesn’t have anywhere near the energy needed to prosecute a strong, national election race. His candidacy was never anything but a pathetic pipe-dream.

"In 1980, with approximately 106,000 people involved, Reagan again was the second choice of Republican caucus participants. George Bush won 31.6 percent support and Reagan 29.5 percent." From the history of the Iowa caucuses!

Iowa the great predictor! LOL

Iowa really isn’t important, I don’t think, because it’s not a true primary. I think just about anyone would say so as well.

I don’t know why anyone thought FT would be the big conservative savior. Maybe because he looks the part?

I don’t know.

Wow! And to think your favorite candidate just announced a renewed effort to do better in Iowa? Why is that if Iowa is so unimportant. Are you calling Fred Thompson stupid?

All I know is that every time I see Thompson, I have a sudden need to take a nap.

I’ve been watching Spiff for a long time. I think the AMs need to show him and the Fred haters the door.

I just don’t get the lacadaisical meme. It seems entirely lacking any evidentiary support. It looks like nothing more than a leftist talking point - a slander, really - that has been picked up and taken on a life of its own.

I just can’t see a single thing about fred that says lazy to me. He has stronger, more detailed positions than any other candidate of either party, he has been consistent longer than any other Republican, he expresses himself well, he is likable.

I just think that the average voter with a tendency toward Fred has been beaten down by the constant slanderous drumbeat of laziness and the he can’t win. What he needs to do to beat that back is to surprise everyone in Iowa. I hope he can pull it off.

He’s getting my vote, and my money.

-—Kind of like Ronald Reagan (a little) in a way, possibly? -—

When Reagan was running there was a sense that our best days were behind us. I think there is a similar desperation taking hold now, not as bad as the seventies, but becoming worse. Romney definitely doesn’t have a message of acquiescence and decline.

I don’t think the mods want to be banning folks that don’t like Fred. There are too many of us. This ain’t FredRepublic.

Oh, I remember those days as well — very depressing that’s for sure. Americans felt they were worth nothing. Ronald Reagan was the very first person I voted for for President — what a heck of a way to start out. :-)
