The Republicans Have Managed The Impossible !!!

From Politico — “Thompson Exceeds (low) Expectations”:

“Democracy is good.”

As I said, a man easy to underestimate. But when he says things like “Democracy is good,” people in the audience don’t snicker. They nod their heads and often applaud.

“This running for president is simple,” Thompson told an audience in Cedar Falls. “It is not hard and complex. Deep in your heart, do what you think is good for your country.”

He got a standing ovation.



From The New York Times:

Still, Mr. Thompson at times seemed to be looking for his sea legs. In an interview with Kay Henderson of Radio Iowa today, in talking about Iran, he referred to the “Soviet Union and China.” (Ms. Henderson, at the end of her blog post on the exchange, wrote: “No, I did not mistype. Thompson said Soviet Union rather than Russia.”)

Iowans saw a candidate who is subdued and sonorous, a laconic presence who spoke in soft monotone, threw few elbows and displayed little drive to distinguish himself from his opponents.

From The Trail (The Washington Post):

Generally, Thompson left the Register still waiting for details, a sentiment voters have expressed about the candidate as well. “Thompson gave long, meandering answers, but offered few solutions or detailed plans,” the paper wrote. “He acknowledged that, saying he’s not the candidate to offer a 15-point plan on every issue.”

From NationalJournal.com/The Gate:

MSNBC reports that at a campaign event in Iowa Tuesday night, the candidate was asked about last year’s Senate hearings on the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts, whom Thompson “shepherded” through the confirmation process. The former Tennessee senator had this to say in response:”Even though the other party controlled the Judiciary Committee, we got some votes there. For a good, sound, what I would call conservative justice.”

News flash: Democrats didn’t regain control of the Senate until 2006. Roberts’ confirmation took place in 2005, when the GOP was still firmly in charge of both chambers.

[ Incidentally, Fred Thompson was asked by the White House at the time to lead Roberts through the nomination process, so Thompson cannot plead ignorance of the circumstances. Did he really say that above? ]

:D :D :D

I don't think Bush is as dumb as people think.

I mean, he is 2nd in command of the BCE, right after Cobra Commander.

[LoungeMachine]

I also read FT thought hezbollah was in Afghanistan, and he had no idea Iran had oil reserves...

Combine Ronnie with Chimpy, throw in a dash Gerald Ford and you've got Fred Thompson, Republican Candidate.

LMAO

:gulp:

[Warham]

Just another reason to vote for Ron Paul. :)

I disagree.

Especially whenever he's with other world leaders.

He's just not bright.

If he didnt have Cheney, he'd be in a world of hurt.

I saw your boy Geroge Allen spining for Thompson !!!

:D

Kucinich / Paul 2008

Honestly, I might almost want RP before I could pull the lever for Shrillary.

:gulp:

But other than Ron, the Republican candidates this season are just so.......bad.

I don't know how you could ever vote for Hillary.

It wouldn't be a vote for Hillary

It would be a vote against Guiliani

or Thompson for that matter.

Paul, Romney, Huckabee are your top 3

yikes.


Edwards / Obama is looking pretty good about now...

Back on topic.

NIXON called FT dumb as shit.... :D

It was a tag team.

Cheney was strictly foreign policy.

KKKarl was domestic, process, and attack.

Gonzo took care of legal, just like when he squashed the DUI's

Sort of like Demolition back in the WWF days, a three-man tag team.

It's weird, but I'm finding myself being partial to funny looking bass players named Mike lately. :D

I like Huckabee.

He's a nut on many social issues, but at least he can speak, which is more than I can say for most of the Retardican Candidates this time around.

Huckabee might slide in on a Romney ticket, bringing the south with him.

But he's NEVER going to make the final cut.

:gulp:

[Satan]

Thompson is so fucking stupid, he's still talking the 2002 PNAC Iraq talking points. Still says Saddam had WMD's. Still claims they were a threat. I think he's even sticking to the "Saddam and Osama were BFF's " lie.

It's pretty bad when even Chimpy actually learned more from the BCE's fuckups than the fool who wants to replace him.

If Huckabee actually won the Repuke nomination, and Hillary succeeds at stealing the Democratic nomination, do you think she would try to play up her Arkansas "roots" which she so easily threw away in 2000??

But more effective than Congress, apparently, judging by their approval ratings.

That's still not a good enough excuse.

I have to think that alot of people are voting for Hillary just because of her husband. I might be degrading her own talent, but I just feel this way.

[Warham]

I've learned my lesson.

If you vote for the favorite candidate of the media, on either ticket, you are voting for the one who's got the most lobbyists in their ear.

So right now, you've got Hillary or Giuliani. They really aren't all that different, when you listen to what they say. Hillary will push her healthcare plan, but it won't pass. They'll both stay in Iraq indefinately. They'll both do nothing substancial about illegal immigration. On and on.

That's probably true enough. But how many people voted for Chimpy because of his daddy?

[LoungeMachine]

Congress' low approval is due to their NOT stopping the occupation.

Don't be stupid.


Pelosi, Reid, Shumer, et al can all suck our collective dick.

Fucking dumbasses.

Less than voted for President Gore

Yes but conversely, a lot of people hate Hillery irrationally, because of their perception of her and without ever considering her positions on issues...

She's actually far more critical of free trade that Bill was, was every much involved in legislation trying to force Bush to begin the inevitable withdrawl from Iraq - despite her vagueness the issue, and she's been a solid Senator for NY. She might most closely represent my moderate, establishment progressive views..

The funny thing is that she takes it here from the right, who've almost a conspiratorial zealousness towards here, and from the left - because she's not liberal enough. Well, all Democrats (and now Republicans thank God!) have to moderate their views if they've any hope of victory...

ouch.

That hit a little close to the bone...

My issues with her are the occupation, and her blatant pandering.

Her forced laughs recently made me want to STUMP for Cheney / 08

Natch, I consider getting Bubba as a major foreign policy PLUS.

I just can't help but think she's just too "establishment" for me.

That, and I hate the whole Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton scenario.

Fuck, Nick, ya dick. Now you got me rethinking my whole anti-hillary stance.

That being said, if the wackjob far-right DO decide to mount a serious third party run, a Lounge/Fresh ticket could win in a landslide.

:gulp:

[Warham]

I'm against her health care plan. Does that count?

I can see Jimmy Carter's highlights, but where's Slick Willy's?

Maybe it was selling secrets to the Chinese. Does that count?

[Satan]

Clinton was robbed of his major foreign policy victory when the Likud Zionfascists pulled a "BCE" and murdered their own Prime Minister, because they couldn't stand the chance of PEACE actually breaking out in the middle east.

But Bill had Rabin and Dishtowel head at the table. It was about to happen, and would have, had Rabin not been murdered and the Nutty-yahoo takeover followed in short order.

[LoungeMachine]

Clinton is respected by our allies, which you certainly can't say about the current pResident.

Somebody needs to remind him to breath from time to time...

And he seriously reminds me of a high school kid on the debate team...

[Nickdfresh]

I have to say that the sophistication of Ron Paul's lexicon impresses me...

No Democrat will even point out that securing our oil in the Middle East is "Neocolonialism."

He's right...

[LoungeMachine]

Exactly.

Romney, are you a Bush republican?

LMMFAO

Ron Paul is definelty impressive.....

Freddie looks like he just wants to go to his trailer for a nap and some Ensure.

[Warham]

Alright, alright,

I'm being hard on Bill when I should be hard on Hillary (no sex puns intended ::shivers::).

As Darth Vader would say...

"Impressive, most impressive."

I think the other candidates' eyes glaze over when Ron goes on with his Constitutional talk. They can't take that kind of mental strain.
