“Frankly, I think Rev. [Jeremiah] Wright was correct when he says he's just doing what politicians do,” Thompson said about Obama. “That's not the kind of change this country needs.”

Saying Obama “has changed his position on every issue” that’s important, Thompson also accused Obama of not having the requisite experience to be president.

“Barack Obama must be the first fellow in the history of presidential politics who thinks that running for president is a qualification for being president,” Thompson said.

I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Fred has a way of making his points briefly, in a manner anyone can understand and undeniable.
My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

I wish Fred would have been more energetic during the primaries, but he was on fire during his convention speech. He's making good sense with his Rev. Wright remarks.

I'm hoping against hope Fred will be in "Maverick's" cabinet.   :cheersmate:

Would not have mattered, the press had him totally on ignore.  For this reason and the fact that he refused to play the game their way.

He said from the start he would do it his way.

No, the fire in the belly we saw was absent from Fred's campaign.

'tis a pity but he certainly is a weapon for good in this fight.

OK, what is your basis for believing it to be true ?
