THOMPSON, can you tell us why you or your laconic candidacy are even relevant? Regardless of what is your message, in earnest you take laziness to a new low. Is that what Americans could expect were they foolish enough to waste their vote on you? Would you go downstairs to your Whitehouse Office every now and then, hold a press conference periodically with more than 1 favorable journalist and four of your best friends and campaign operatives present? Please tell me, I want to know. What could we expect. Sir, no offense but I find your participation in the process ridiculous. All I have seen to date is your throwing darts at Giuliani and Huckabee.

That why these other candidates get into so much trouble… they change their principles like they change cars… so when people call them on it they have to try and gloss over specifics and they end up sounding pretty silly. Fred Thompson obviously doesn't have to worry about that… he believes today what he believed yesterday and you can bet that's what he'll believe tomorrow. So if you agree with his consistent conservative message… he's your guy… HANDS DOWN!

I think the good Sen Thompson, has gotten a bad rap.

Slow talking? Sure.

Deliberate? Absolutely!

But lazy? Doubtful.

People who would rather be napping, don't run for senator and win, the don't get re-elected, they don't run for president. They nap.

Again, good interview.
