His looks doesn't bother me.
His looks doesn't bother me. What does bother me about him is, that I fear he will be just an extension of Bush's manhood and the senate and congress will submit quietly to him as it has Bush.

Looks
I don't care what he looks like either. But when his supposed "charisma" is a selling point, it's probably a good idea to stop and look at exactly what makes the man so charismatic. Yeah, he's got a deep voice. So does that Chocolate Rain dude. Doesn't mean Tay Zonday is going to make it as President though. I'm no fan of Ronald Reagan, but I at least recognize the man had genuine charisma. Fred doesn't.
I was never a fan of Reagan
I was never a fan of Reagan either but along with his charisma he also had some substance behind his campaign. He was able to make his 'Trickle Down Economy' sound like a good thing and people bought into it, but I knew I was on the last trickle and would never benefit from it. Now with Thompson his appeal seems to be strictly focussed around his ability to act. He's just a poster boy being run to protect Bush and Cheney's posterior and to carry on their policies after they leave office.

But the cancer treatments take a toll, eh?
Careful guys, If Freddie loses too much weight we'll be able to see the puppet strings.
But the cancer treatments
A political cancer!

"Republican Fred Thompson
"Republican Fred Thompson said Friday that terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is "more symbolism than anything else" as the presidential hopeful warned of possible greater al-Qaida threats within the United States." - Huffington Post
In psychology this is known as projection.
He should be forced to
He should be forced to elaborate since he seems to have the inside scoop on the terrorists.

Come on all you faithful
Come on all you faithful Tennesseans, lets give ole Fred the same treatment given to Al Gore.
