Well, Freddy IS very inspirational. :rolleyes:

One of the hard working volunteers in Nashville just told me of an article in the Nashville paper about how Fred bored some folks in Michigan. I was impressed by such an article appearing in a major Tennessee newspaper.

UGH. Who in their right mind would think that this big lumbering lug with nary a spark in his eye could beat Hillary! You gotta admit Hillary can campaign like a champ. She's funny and bright and draws you in. I hate about every word she says, but she is a brilliant campaigner.

Ron Paul has a different energy than her and is not quite so polished, but his MESSAGE brings about the enthusiasm. What's Thompson's message? "More of the same".

BLAH!

It's kinda funny that over at the hannity forum there are people falling all over themselves saying that they WANT a president who is unambitious and uninspired. Talk about spin...

[JosephTheLibertarian]

yet the love fest for Fred Thompson continues over on FNC... they talk about him for segments upon segments... sometimes I wonder if temporary regulation of these corporate elitists would be a good idea. Not very libertarian, but then again, corporations are not very libertarian, either

corporation: A corporation is an artificial legal entity (technically, a juristic person) which, while made up of a number of natural persons or other legal entities, has a separate legal identity from them. As a legal entity the corporation receives legal rights and duties

He and his wife were interviewed on Hannity's show last night. He really isn't a good speaker. He says "uhhhhh" all the time.

(My personal "glitch" isn't better, but I'd get it fixed if I were running for president.)

Did Fred run out of Enzyte?

“I hope his campaign strategy works for him, but I’m not sure it will,” said Kay Odell, a retired child-abuse worker, who talked to Mr. Thompson as he campaigned at a coffee shop in Iowa Falls. “He comes across as very low-key.”

She added, “I’m sure he’ll make a good president.”

Some people are beyond help or reason....

I was going to quote that same exact portion ;)

David Brooks said Thompson's speech was so boring it violated the Geneva Conventions. Said he was still suffering from the experience of hearing it a day later.

Yeah, I read that and it inspired hearty laughter from me. It's funny because it's true.
