Congrats!
“Fred needs a Christmas miracle. Hopefully he’ll get a V.P. or cabinet position if he doesn’t get one.”
Fred has already said he isn’t interested in any position except Pres. Though I do think VP would be great... I seriously doubt that Rudy or Mitt will ask as they hate him.
Though.. if Rudy or Mitt did, it would be much easier to carry those southern states.
“His supporters say that demonstrates leadership, even if he has yet to put forth specifics on issues like health care.”
If anything Fred has been the first to put out specific detailed stands on the issues, even those that the other candidates did not want to address in specifics.
I love Fred Thompson.
But he looks awful (physically) as of late.
Saw him on Fox & Friends (?) Wednesday morning, and there were bags under Fred’s eyes which looked to be 25-pounds each.
Methinks the recent bout he had with ? cancer ? has left him bedraggled and worn out.
I love Fred, his stature, how he talks and how he thinks.
But I fear his best years are behind him.
A four or eight year US Presidency stint would be waaay too much for him to handle.
Your kidding right?
But in the end I'm going for the person with the best ideas, Fred. His wife will be nearby to provide the good looks.
Lying sack of ****.
You're a Mitt Romney worshiper who's been doing nothing but bashing Fred Thompson.
Whose campaign are you working for?
Oh, that’s right, MITT ROMNEY’S.
A claim without evidence. If you have it, what is it?
Evidence for Romney:
- Romney led--he did not manage--Bain Capital from mediocrity to the push it to the stratosphere of success as a venture capital firm, creating such successful national chains as Dominoes Pizza, The Sports Authority, and Staples, spinning off tens of thousands of jobs for Americans in the process. As a leader in his industry he was very much the equal of such legendary American industry leaders as Lee Iacocca, Jack Welch, and Thomas Watson. If you have any idea at all of who these men are or were you will know they were not "managers."
- Romney took over the controls of the Salt Lake Olympics when it was riddled with scandal and incompetence and about to crash headlong into the abyss of bankruptcy. He not only wrenched it into a new course and pulled it from disaster, he took it into the stratosphere of spotlessly clean public and financial success. And he refused to accept any salary for his efforts. That's not "management" friends. That's dynamic leadership of the HIGHEST quality.
Evidence for Thompson:
- Led a staff of about a dozen senate staffers, but to what end (apart from getting McCain-Feingold passed).
- Led a senate committee chaged with investigating illegal contributions from the Chinese to the Democrats.
I like Fred. He's my number two choice. The reason he's my number two choice is that he has NOT demonstrated superior leadership skills in the way that my number one choice has.
“Thompson picks up the pace in Iowa”...
...and breaks into a slow crawl. Don’t blink, you might miss “Flash”.
“Evidence for Thompson:
- Led a staff of about a dozen senate staffers, but to what end (apart from getting McCain-Feingold passed).
- Led a senate committee chaged with investigating illegal contributions from the Chinese to the Democrats.”
Not so fast. You conveniently left out that he also led a successful TV Show by correctly reading his prepared lines every week. So there.
You do not like Fred. And you are shallow.
Another Massachusetts liberal supporting Romney and bashing Fred.
What a surprise!
It's also perfectly framed for use as computer screen wallpaper, if you could get a higher resolution version.
I know its tough. Your guy is in a race for last place. Maybe he can go Leno and defend...oh, that’s right in reruns. Never mind.
