Mr. Thompson leavened his responses with the kind of one-liners that many supporters had hoped he would use sooner.
Asked about the United States response in a confrontation with Iranian speedboats, Mr. Thompson said, “I think one more step and they would have been introduced to those virgins that they’re looking forward to seeing.” At another point, he offered that “you can tell that the news is good coming out of Iraq because you read so little about it in The New York Times.”

Yes!
“This performance was so commanding, I wanted his last answer to echo back to the lights in the back of the auditorium, blow out all the lamps and spotlights, for the theme to ‘the Natural’ to play, and for him to trot around the stage in slow motion while sparks showered down in the background.”
Thompson was priceless with his one-liners last night.
He definitely won the debate.
Watch him win South Carolina.
There were elements of his performance that I don’t think helped him, but this was definitely a line that ALL Republicans can understand and agree with.
Still pushing the “bashing the press is a bad stategy” RM?
I don’t get it. Could you please enlighten me?

Ba - Da - Boom!
C'mon Fred! It's time to lock-and-load and rock-and-roll!
I'm hoping and praying. Hoping and praying!
South Carolinians - don't fall for the shuck and jive of Huckabee nor the false conservative McCain.
Fred all the way from this corner of SC
I just donated another $200 myself.
He distinguished himself from the pack last night, and people clearly took notice. He must continue to do this in earnest. The voters are still doubting he can win though, so he needs to address those concerns head on, and asap. If he can surprises in SC, he has a real chance. The overnight turnaround of Hillary in NH should be evidence enough that these things can change in a hurry.
“I just donated another $200 myself.”
Thank you!
I have been sending too.
He/We can do it.
Conservatism can prevail, but conservatives must give it their all.
Thompson / Hunter in ‘08
Fred Thompson has found his voice.
I really hope he does.
I am sick and tired of the media ignoring him.
I did 100 bucks this morning. I Was impressed he’s raised 200k since I gave this morning
