FR: Fred Thompson Prefers Not To "Flaunt His Brilliance" LOL!!!

[K8-EEE]

OMG -- this is a good one!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1914874/posts?q=1&;page=101

I picked up on the quality of his intellect by reading his legal briefs and opinions. His command of history, American history, law and the Constitution is unmatched. I have posted comparisions with Lincoln and have received acknowledgements that he is indeed a deep thinker on par with Lincoln.

Guliani may be a fast talker as is expected in New York City, McCain may charm about Woodstock issues and Romney is ultra smooth, but none of them can hold a candle to Fred Thompson in intellect. Liberals know this and they fear him.

Fred’s southern charm and folksy manner masks the deeper qualities about him. He does not flaunt his brilliance and it would be unseemly for him to do so as Romney attempts to do.

Fred has the insight that none of the others have when it comes to plugging the problems that have plagued America for over four decades, one of which is an out of control federal judiciary.

He is the right man for America and so far his political team is doing better and better.

WELL, THE FREEPER IS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING: FRED'S DEFINITELY NOT "FLAUNTING HIS BRILLIANCE!"

1. I don't know, I probably would spot Thompson over Giuliani and McCain in intellect

Being smarter than those guys is like being the cleanest pig at the trough, but sure, Thompson outclasses the whole Republican field. Why not?

[EFerrari]

2. Oh, Fred has me shaking in my boots.

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

3. Be fair- if you were equally "brilliant" to Thompson, you wouldn't want anyone to notice either!

[BayouBengal07]

4. Right on!

"Fred has the insight that none of the others have when it comes to plugging the problems that have plagued America for over four decades, one of which is an out of control federal judiciary."

Yeah, if anything the tyranny of the judiciary over the white upper class has gone on too long! What we really need is a stronger executive to reign in the out of control courts!

Geez...

[Raine]

5. ROFLMFAO

he certainly isn't flaunting it, he's keeping it so well hidden that it appears to be non-existent. :rofl:

[DCKit]

6. He's not actually sleeping through the debates...

He's got radiators in his eyelids that keep his brain from overheating while he thinks amazing thoughts.

[SoCalDem]

7. He flaunts his levitating mermaid and his little mermaidette

with her magic diaphram toy :)

[bridgit]

8. pppfftt, no i'm sorry, but *that's* just too phunny!!

:spray: :rofl:

[DearAbby]

9. Ah come on Unca Fred, dazzle us with your brilliance

we can take it :boring: Just whip it on out there :boring: hell, I'm game. :boring: What is life if you don't take risks? :boring: Honest now, this isn't a roll you once played, is it? :boring: Sure, we can take it, come on now, dazzle us. :boring:

[Skittles]

10. he referred to Russia as the Soviet Union not long ago

terrific command of history :rofl:

[Eagle_Eye]

11. I so hope Fred is their nominee

Seeing our guy clean Fred's clock would be similar to watching a high school bully take on a dweeb.

[radfringe]

12. brilliance or not - here's another way to look at it

:smirk: Thompson is 'dumbing down' his rhetoric to a level so even freepers can easily understand it...

[Ganja Ninja]

13. I'll take a pound of whatever he's smoking.

:smoke:

14. Extra-impressive argument, commit this one to memory for times you want to impress!

LOL, these FR arguments are so Dwight/Ed Helms from The Office!

Whatever you may have learned during your sophomore year, it is quite possible to know things. One of the things we can know, from direct experience of another’s words, is the acuity of their mind and the clarity of their thought. If you have any argument to make about how Fred and W are similar, make it. If you don’t go do something useful like brushing up on your epistemology. Constantly repeating that it is impossible to know either very public man’s mind is just juvenile nonsense.

If you believed what you are saying, you could not consistently be maintaining that there is any similarity between Fred and W. If the assertion that they are different is mere conjecture so is any assertion that they are similar.

In fact, of course, neither assertion is grounded in conjecture. They are both grounded in observation. It’s just that one is right and the other is embarrassingly wrong.

15. that's been his lifelong mission and he's fullfilled it completely.

[Uncle Joe]

16. After sevens years of corrupt incompetence, I want to see some brilliance flaunted!

I tried to tell a co-worker back in 1999 that Bush isn't fit to be President and she said he doesn't have to smart, he can surround him self with smart people. I believe everything is relative and if you have an IQ of 50, then 70 will look like a *^&%$#+% genius!

[K8-EEE]

17. Yeah! I remember a GOP guy I know saying "the country runs itself"

And it doesn't matter who's president etc. What we have in the horrid BushCo era is a demonstration of what happens when you get a dumbass puppet without a brain in his head as POTUS!
