it doesn’t matter what Fred does he will be portrayed as walking for the GOP nomination and ‘his heart isn’t in it’. Its in the media file and they will use it no matter how wrong it is. Like the Jena 6 and everything else.
Not offered a full minute to respond, Thompson said, "Well, then I'm not going to answer it."
FRed did fine. I especially liked his assault on the failed education system controlled by “unions and the NEA”....calling it as it IS!
Frank Luntz just took a moment to point out this exchange as “that moment” that we all remember. It was very popular with his focus group, and he added that “some in the group applauded even though they weren’t live in Iowa.”
It’s going to resonate.
Wanted to let everyone know that Fred’s response to not doing hand shows and not answering if he doesn’t get a minute made the headline story of our local radio news break. Fred was characterized as “leading a Republican revolt on stage” and “coming to life”. Need lots more of this.
The latest Rasmussen poll and CNN national polls have him at 10 points. The latest CBS News national poll has him at 7 points. He's trading lower than all other frontrunning GOP candidates - to include Paul - on InTrade. And he's dropping, not gaining.
Really. It is so over for his campaign. And playing Mister Crankypants in the debate today isn't going to help his image or his chances.
I thought his line against Romney about “You are doing a good job of being an actor” was priceless.
Way to go Fred. I was wandering by the break room and saw Alan Keyes on the stage. I didn’t even know he was running!
O’Reilly just announced a poll on his website for favorite Republican candidate. He did NOT include Fred. I just sent him an email; subject line Your poll and email body: Fred Thompson
How about everyone else do the same? Pass it around!
I watched and cheered for Fred. Having said that, how long does it take to say, “It’s [b.s.] and a Ponzi scheme.”?
