HE IS A NON-ENTITY!!! THE ONE REAL THING HE OFFERS IS HIS PSEUDO-CELEBRITY STATUS!!! GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!

Jesus, next thing you know you guys will be creaming yourselves over some schmuck who starred in something like "Bedtime for Bonzo". Sheesh!

Exactly.

Or even worse, they'll be Lewinskying themselves over Newt Gingrinch...

[DEMON CUNT]

Don't forget that these cheese brains voted for a drunk cowboy wanna be. It's not like they give it much thought anyway.

[Big Train]

So his years in the senate are nothing?

He has far more experience that Obama and is far less polarizing than Hillary.

Non entity...fucking whatever.

This may be useful to you "non-entity" types as a primer to appearing to know what the hell your talking about.

This man has 40 years of political experience, in all matters of domestic and international concern.
He didn't write a book about "audacity" or ride shotgun in the White House.

Senators can't get elected. That's one reason I can't vote for Hillary, and think Obama should wait.

Technically, Bill Richardson is the best qualified candidate in the race (at least until Gore jumps in) but he's not exactly my favorite, as he's a DLC corporatist who refused to investigate the election fraud in his own state in 2004

Generally I tend to agree with you on that Ford, it is very difficult for senators to get elected.

In this case though, with such a weak field and even if Richardson and Gore jumped in, I think Thompson could pull it out.

[FORD]

Richardson is already in. He's just not getting any coverage from the whore media because they're focused on the whole "White woman vs Black man" thing.

Of course Richardson is Hispanic, but he doesn't "sound" Hispanic. If his last name were Rodriguez instead of Richardson, they would make it a three way tie to alienate the bigots, and probably draw cartoons of "Rodriguez" sneaking "his family" over the border, so people like Big Busheep Brian could post them here.

Considering all the good he did and that he accomplished?

Yup.

So why not support Sen. Ted Kennedy according to your criteria?

You're absolutely delusional if you believe that. Nobody cares about Thompson, except reaching Republicans...

That remains to be seen, he is the #2 candidate in most recent Republican polls and he isn't even running yet. Delusional, hardly.

Repubs are fighting an uphill battle this time around, but if there is a Repub who can win it, it's Thompson.

Hillary and Obama are your concerns. People will ultimately care far less than people think in the end. They will both undo themselves. And there is nobody in the bullpen that can do any better.

Your absolutely delusional if you disagree with what I'm saying (so THAT"S what it feels like to be a dem...weird, just kidding).

Exactly, "Republican" polls. Because the field is just shit and they are extremely divided.

Um, Hillary, as much as I don't want her to win, is a machine. And if Gore decides to run, he's pretty much got it with Obama as his VP...

The whole Thompson thing is based on nothing but pundit speculation. Nobody cares about a Hollywood dabbling career politician whose done nothing of note, and it is all superficial and trite. He's only mentioned because of their low regard of the American people and the belief that they want phony lightweight Reagan clones.

Republican polls are all there are at the time, so yes that's what i'm going on. I believe he will translate well across th field.

Hillary is a MONEY machine, but there are enough people out there, women especially who can't stand her and that's what will cost her. Obama to me is a nice wrapper, bu t if they dig into to him forget it. Not enough there. Gore is going to feel a backlash much increased if he decides to get in the ring, which is why he is being so cautious. He has a good thing going right now, I'm not sure he wants to run. He would make the feel more interesting, but I don't think they would win ultimate.

Thompson is not phony, stop reciting to me the Dem party line. He helped bring Nixon to justice, which apparently is nothing to the Dems in American politics (although it's held about like a red herring nonstop when talking corruption). He has had a distinguished Congressial career and has served in many capacities within the Senate. Merit and experience apparently mean very little. He is just "hollywood lite".

The entire Dem field is "Hollywood Lite" to me.

Bush's years as a "governor" obviously didn't prepare him for being president. However, I think Thompson will indeed be the GOP candidate because of the "Reagan Lite" thing....

Good luck finding any evidence to support that...

Hillary is a MONEY machine,

There's a reason for that.

but there are enough people out there, women especially who can't stand her and that's what will cost her.

She's quite popular among women actually...

Obama to me is a nice wrapper, bu t if they dig into to him forget it. Not enough there.

So there's very little to go after him with?

And he has said and done most of the right things...

Gore is going to feel a backlash much increased if he decides to get in the ring, which is why he is being so cautious. He has a good thing going right now, I'm not sure he wants to run. He would make the feel more interesting, but I don't think they would win ultimate.

There is no real backlash against Gore. It's only in right wing fantasy land by the fuck wits that think he's a hypocrite for supposedly using too much electricity, yet find no contradiction in silver spoon Bush not sending his daughters to his war...

Thompson is not phony, stop reciting to me the Dem party line.

I don't have the Dem party line on him, I doubt there is one, because he's ignored...

He helped bring Nixon to justice,

So did almost all other Republican law makers in that era. It was very clearly a different, far more pragmatic and moderate party then...

which apparently is nothing to the Dems in American politics (although it's held about like a red herring nonstop when talking corruption). He has had a distinguished Congressial career and has served in many capacities within the Senate. Merit and experience apparently mean very little. He is just "hollywood lite".

So, you're saying that anyone in Congress will make a good candidate?

The entire Dem field is "Hollywood Lite" to me.

Which is why they're so talked about, especially by the Republicans here?
