Comments on: Fundraising Is Thompson's First Big Test

Former Senator Faces High Expectations As Third Quarter Ends

[myidoncbs]

The gist of this story seems to be that Thompson and his people don''t want anyone to expect him to do very well at raising money. That''s hardly encouraging.

Why should anyone have given him any money yet? All he has done, so far, is to spend months building up the "suspense" about whether or not he would run for president. Now that he is "running", he seems to be just sitting on his derriere. He hasn''t attended any straw polls or debates, so no one really knows what he stands for. Why should anyone want to give him money for that? %u2026Because the saw him acting on TV?

If all the "pressure" of people''s expectations is too much for Freddie and his team to handle, maybe he''d feel better if he just dropped out now. Whoever becomes the next president is going to have to deal with all of the horrible messes left by "the decider". I don''t think Freddie is up to it.

Like Bu$h, if there''s one thing Thompson can do, it''s raise money. As a former career lobbyist Thompson is the corporations and special interests wet dream. They know he''ll put their interests first if they grease his palms. If you like Bu$h you''ll love Thompson.

Ah yes..an actor and career lobyist. . .

And as an added bonus he''s a lawyer.
Keep sending him your money cause he''s looking out for America''s best interest.
Really.
You can trust him.

Ah yes..an actor and career lobyist. Just what this nation needs to get back on track. If you like Bu$h you''ll love Thompson. He''s sure to take care of the corporations and special interests that he worked for all those years. He''s like a multi-national corporation posing as a human being.

I have no idea what some of these idiots are talking about when they bring up Islam, and Jihads etal. Do these airheads know the subject is about Fred Thompson? I don''''t believe he stands much of a chance, but more power to him. The afore mentioned should take
their soap boxes, and shut the hell UP. Doug

az97202 in Portland meet lars008 in la-la land.

Portland or la-la land, we all have the same right to freedom of speech.

Calling those who don''t share your opinion idiots does not lend any credibility to your opinion. lars008 may be way out there sometimes, but his comments are far more pithy than some, for instance, yours.
