Thompson is a lethargic, snooze-fest candidate.

Can you offer up one single piece of evidence to support such a harsh judgement? Frankly, I fail to understand this accusation.

When I see Fred speak on TV, I’m on my feet cheeering in front of the set.

When the others are on, I’m wondering what on earth anyone sees in them, especially Mitt Romney. This guy does not deserve to be in the game, and the only reason he is is that he bought himself in.

“This guy does not deserve to be in the game, and the only reason he is is that he bought himself in.”

Then, according to your definition of who does not deserve to be in the game, neither did George Bush, who also was a Governor of a state, just like Mitt. And George Bush didn’t have the depth of background that Mitt has had in business (CEO of a large, successful company), and leader of the Olympics, bringing it out of a deficit and into the black. As many if not most of our Presidents of recency, have come from being Governors of states, heaven knows what you consider as being qualified to run for the Office of President.

Let’s see, Guiliani was a Mayor of a major metropolitan city, Thompson a former Senator and TV actor, Huckabee a Governor of a tiny state, McCain a Senator forever, Hunter a House member, etc. Romney’s background matches up with any of these, and in fact it is a plus that the guy had a real job at one point, running a real business in the real world, rather than having been a lifelong politician in the Senate or House as so many are or have been. Frankly, all of our candidates have the qualifications and background to be President. May the best man win.
