fred thompson

after seeing him on "meet the press" this morning I believe he's a nice guy but unelectable!
he seems to be tired and really not that interested in being elected.

1. Yeah, he's a REALLY nice guy.
Edited on Sun Nov-04-07 10:19 AM by ryanmuegge
Come on. The guy's no different than Bush or any of the other Republicans. He wants to dominate the world at the barrel of the gun, turn every country into a Nike sweatshop, and redistribute wealth upward.

2. I Begrudgingly Agree...He's Not A Hater Or An "Againster"
Edited on Sun Nov-04-07 10:16 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
It's going to be hard to get a "hate" on for old Fred...I will just be content in opposing him...

7. I Just Want To Beat Him
I don't want to ruin him...

In life and in politics there are opponents I wish to defeat and opponents I wish to ruin...Thompson fits into the former category...

3. When The Elf quoted him about use of torture, Scrotum replied, "I never used the word torture."
I turned off the television.

4. So, you'd like to have a beer with him?
George W. Bush ran on the "regular guy" platform too, Rove made sure of that.

6. Rove read Our Arrogance and Complacency and Their Contempt and Fear
MSM did all the rest ,so fuck the Evil Elf and his Magazine with the guise of Journalistic Comprehension.

Edited on Sun Nov-04-07 10:33 AM by tridim
and it appears that Rove's PR campaign is working, AGAIN, even on DU'ers. How scary is that?

12. I really believe the republicans and his wife pushed him into it.
He feels the effects of his cancer. The type he has makes you tired and full of fatigue. I don't see why they didn't leave the man alone. But maybe his ego was sparked and he thought since they stole the election for bush they might steal it for him.

13. He is VERY Bushlike in that he
doesn't seem to want to be President, but is being pressured by other people. There is nothing likeable about it, unless you want another Bushlike presidency.
