Works for me.
Probably just smart enough to put eight years in the WH and set the enemy Democrat Party back 25 years.
” ... Thompson, whom Richard Nixon once called “dumb as hell,” ...”
Yeah, we slow-talkin’, southern drawlers get called that a lot. ;)
Fred is the GOP candidate,as Rush pointed out,the closest to a true conservative.
Plus,he has “the voice.” Would you vote for Tiny Tim or James Earl Jones to go up against Sister Mary Elephant? Reagan the Great also had “the voice” and could read “Dick and Jane at the Seashore” and make it sound like the Gettysburg Address.FDR was ugly as HRC yet the crypto-commie’s speaches were gripping and convinced most Americans that Big Government was a good thing.
History has proven that looks count but looks without good diction count little while even poor looks but with great diction counts a lot.JFK and RR both had good looks and great diction but none like them are running in 2008.Fred is the only candidate HRC would refuse to debate because it would indeed sound like James Earl Jones versus Sister Mary Elephant and Bill’s “dominance over dignity” female version of a cuckold knows it.”The Voice” is best described as “firm,correct and heavily laden with either testosterone or estrogen,”depending,of course,on one’s sex.For instance Maggie Thatcher and Golda Meir have and had the female “voice” along with the appropriate ideology and look at their astonishing legacies.Now remember,the hormone factor in “the voice” equation doesn’t necessarilly mean “sexiness”(though it couldn’t hurt-see JFK),it means that only,without doubt and in clear and traditional understanding,REAL men and women can be taken seriously by the masses both sentient and liberal.
So we have a conservative with “the voice” trailing the GOP pack while a socialist with “the cackle” is leading her’s.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Obviously,like Animal Farm,many in the New Media seek the same perks as the Old Media they endeaver to overthrow had.
Frankly,I wonder if Reagan The Great would have done worse in 1980 if the liberal mainstream media did NOT then have a monopoly.

I wonder why? You only needed to say it once! LOL
I’z on of them Slow Talking Lanky southerners. Born, raised in the mountains of NC.
I have lived up north, NJ for 37 years. When I hear a recording of myself I still laugh at my own “drawl”.
Many of my competitors mistook my drawl as “dumb” also.
They truly regretted that!
I agree with you about “the voice”. Fred’s got it, along with the best ideas of the campaign and the second most consistent conservativism (a bow to Duncan Hunter) of all the candidates.
I heard that!
That is why we need THOMPSON-HUNTER 2008.
Time for those two to realise they can team up and win, BIG.
I apologize-I meant,like Rush,that Fred is the most conservative of the GOP “frontrunners.” Duncan Hunter is a great conservative but I regret,like with Newt Gingrich,that brilliance does not outweigh panache in today’s political world.
It’s always the same old tangle—the best of the unnoticed or the better of the noticed.Or a pragmatic half loaf versus no loaf at all or,in defeat,the loss of the loaf you already have.
Principle is a bitch.
Thanks for the post....
Remember: Thompson/Hunter winng team!
Sounds good to me.But again I wonder,would the sunshine conservatives in the New Media allow it?
Lets face it,most of our pundits shine or suck depending on the thickness of their wallets.To them,patriotism is an arbitrary decision.
Thanks for posting this. Good background info on FRed.
I’m hoping that FRed will pick Duncan Hunter as his VP. What a combo!

Absolutely!!!
“I wonder why? You only needed to say it once! LOL”
We like to take our time an’ say it a couple o’ different ways, jist in case y’all ain’t keepin’ up with us.
Fredipedia: The Definitive Fred Thompson Reference
WARNING: If you wish to join, be aware that this ping list is EXTREMELY active.
Talk about a consistent conservative position — doing the right thing by his high school girlfriend.
While I don’t admire his teenage mistake that got him in that position, it’s not like I (or most of us) didn’t do (or try to do) that when I was 17.
He stepped up to the plate, which is highly unusual character for a boy that age.
An overall positive and somewhat objective article on Fred!
I am so shocked!
