"I like Fred Thompson! He's a straight shooter, he would tell you what he really thinks!"

[Bluebear]

Random GOP voter on television today.

Here we fucking go again.

[Kerrytravelers]

1. A straight shooter? Just like * was in 2000? Or Crazy McCain?

Isn't the definition of insanity repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome? :shrug:

[mooseprime]

2. That's for sure!

Next they'll all be wanting to have a beer with him.

[Vexatious Ape]

7. You stole my thunder.

Whats so pathetic about the sharing of the beer BS is that the chimp couldn't/wouldn't/not a chance have a beer with any American since he's a dry-drunk.

[rpannier]

3. If by straight shooter that person means

"A lying sack of garbage."

or

"Most likely to shoot his friend in the face while on a hunting trip."

I agree

[oldgrowth]

4. Raygun started the same way !!!!!

[melody]

5. Random crackpots are prone to delusion

We shouldn't seek to find a pattern in them that corresponds to our emotional need to see it. lol

[papau]

6. Fred's I am a skirt chaser and women chase me - or is that past tense - will sell to the GOP n/t

n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

8. Fred Thompson's erotic fantasy service for pResident.

Lassie for VP...

[annabanana]

9. Another brain dead repug. . . n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

10. He's an actor. With a good actor, you'll have a hard time telling when he's bs-ing or lying.

Because, well, he's acting. This is what I found out dating actresses in my younger days.

[teamster633]

12. And as the Gipper proved,

you don't even have to be a good actor to fool most of the people most of the time.

[The Count]

11. GOP straight shooter: Dead Eye Dick

[Squatch]

13. I wonder if he'll like me for telling him what *I* really think?

I think the caller should go fuck himself.

[TX-RAT]

14. I like him too.

I always thought he was a pretty good actor. But thats as far as it goes.

[mancandy]

15. I hate to be a single issue voter here but...

of all the Repugs out there, he has no problem with allowing the states to determine its marriage laws. As a gay man with a long term partner, I can respect him on that while at the same time disagreeing with him on many other issues

[Swamp Rat]

16. What's with republicans and Hollywood actors?

They talk smack about the "Hollweird," but then REPUBLICANS turn around and ELECT HOLLYWOOD ACTORS time and again! :wtf:
