Thompson? Are you kidding me, all Thompson does is TALK a good game to friendly audiences. His lifetime conservative legislative rating was right with McCain. Not a liberal, but not a hard core conservative either.
My biggest issue with Thompson is simply this, he won’t fight. He showed it througout the last primary cycle... I’m not in, no no no.. yes, no... Only appearing before friendly crowds and delivering populist rhetoric. He’s not the guy for the job.
Anyone can appear in front of friendly crowds and deliver speaches, its a nice skill, but its not leadership. As the inept doofus in the WH right now is proving.
Dude...Go back and read the context...you’re responding to something JimRob wrote in January of 2008.
