Politics Fred Thompson is lazy and stupid…

…and no one is going to vote for him.
At his second campaign stop of the day on Friday, just after 2 p.m., Fred D. Thompson was deep into a riff on the benefits of high-quality American health care. “It’s allowing us to live healthier lives and to live longer,” Mr. Thompson, a former Republican senator from Tennessee, said at a Jaycee park here. “That’s good news. But we have more retired folks. I hope to become one of them one of these days.”Nervous laughter from the audience.
“Not too soon,” he added hastily.
So much for dispelling the idea that he is too lazy to run for president…. His critics, already pointing to what they call Mr. Thompson’s skimpy Senate record, might find even more ammunition in his campaign schedule. In his second week as an officially declared candidate for the Republican nomination, Mr. Thompson has made a languid three-day swing through Florida ending Saturday with the candidate watching a football game in Gainesville. The pace has kept him on a jumbo air-conditioned bus far more often than he is actually campaigning.
Since Thursday morning, when the tour began, Mr. Thompson has made no more than three campaign stops a day, with long stretches in between. In recent spins through Iowa, he kept a similarly relaxed schedule. Mitt Romney, by comparison, often does six town-hall-style forums a day when in Iowa.
Maybe if he's elected, he can beat Bush's record for vacation days while in office!
Damn... *shakes head*
WOW Dan, talk about you being a Slog Postin' fool! :)
Dan,
Subjective opinions aside, Fred is the #1 topic, right now, that you should be afraid of. Period.
I don't even need to explain why. For reasons that own obvious iotas.
Now that the media has fully turned against Grampa Fred, he really is screwed. Plus, he lost Florida with his remark about Cubans and suitcase nukes. He's toast by Halloween.
I think Thompson is the best candidate in the field (both parties). You guys should read his literature.
Yo, Dan,
I'm still trying to find where I said I would rape, uh...anybody, here on Slog. I've had no luck. Fill me in if you have any recollection of said actions. Like I said, that is totally not like me.
The most draconian thing that I can recall--that I would ever say in a written fashion linking to my proven existence--would be my anticipation that Chris Crocker might one day be raped and/or murdered. Preferably both. But I have yet to percolate that yearning notion, regardless of it's mental magnitude in my skull, so...yeah.
When did I say I was going to rape somebody on Slog?
In conclusion, in respects to latter-day events, you are unquestionably hot. But. Uh. Surprisingly short. Do not dye your hair. Ever.
; )
Mr Poe, you are so damn cute we would all be too willing to let you take any of us! And you can not rape the willing...
Lazy? Stupid? A candidate in the Reagan-Dubya mold. The Dems are in trouble.

For the first time, uh, twice, in this past week, I have been rejected. So, what you've said is unfavorably illusive.
Despite the all-of-the-sudden realization that I--only just--have much to learn, as well as much to experience, I thank you for your punchy eulogy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to beat off to my archive of Anderson Cooper pics. You'll understand.
BWAAANANANANANNANANANANA!
Fred is a nitwit. He'll be a disaster if elected.
Mitt's got the answers and the abilities. Go here for more: http://nyformitt.blogspot.com/

@11 & 12
Your link provides nothing more than feckless hope that anybody with an IQ below 40 will swiftly side with your revered candidate based on your shitty, unrefined perspective of that pseudo-religious shithead ex-Governor of Massachusetts.
Just sayin'.
Does Mr Poe work outside the home?
Maybe I got mixed up, Mr. Poe. It happens. Withdrawn.
[Previously attempted reply fucked up due to Slog's shitty-ass everything, so if initial response pops up...you know, uh, ignore it]
@14
I happen to work for a multi-billion dollar software company. That alone should explain why I have so much free time to Slog the day away. But no, I actually go to the office, Mon-Fri, standard hours, even though that is none of your business, 'Natalya'.
@15
Thanks. Seriously. After your threw that straight in my face, I haven't been able to shake it off. If I ever have, I'd honestly like to see where, so I could at least illustrate the gross insubordination. Regardless, wablahabwa, thanks for the reassurance that I didn't threaten to rape* the shit out of somebody here on Slog.
*P.S. If I ever did, it was probably gearing in the direction of Mr. Frizzelle, aka: stud muffin. He's just beggin' to be raped. Ugh!
*you. Fuck!
Wowee!! Mr Poe works for a MULTI BILLION dollar software company!! I'm impressed now. Douche.
; )
Lazy and stupid. Now thats original.....
Let's see......lazy, stupid, trophy wife, just an actor.......
He continues to rise in the polls daily. Guys, your attempts (and the media in general) to get rid of him aren't working. But at least you are smart enough to be afraid. :)
Not gonna happen. He's toast.
ya get what you are all saying!! but on this website i found it said he was doing really well even though he is so new in the ring of competitors!!
