Groupies
Having failed to find a Presidential candidate conservative enough to please the wingnuts, the GOP is looking to resort to their other surefire election winner : voting for some famous dude. Since it worked for Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Bono, the Republican starfuckers are setting their sights on a new celebrity, Fred Thompson. Here’s what his ads should look like :
On a side note, have you guys noticed that everything with the “As Seen on TV” logo tends to look cool in ads, but ends up being an overpriced piece of junk that doesn’t work as well as advertised?

As a liberal Democrat I am more concerned about Thompson than about any of the other Republican candidates.
Why?
Because he is a trained actor.
Actors know how to emote.
Actors have stage presence.
Actors know how to work a crowd.
Actors know how to reach an audience.
Politics today is more about show than substance.
Actors know all about show.
I think any of the Democrats could beat any of the currently declared Republicans.
I think if he decides to run Thompson’s performance skills would make him hard to beat.
We need to take him seriously because he “plays in Peoria.”

You left out Clint Eastwood! How could you?
Colorado Dave: In short, “he knows how to fake it.”
It was when the Republicans ran a fake like Reagan for President that I started leaning towards the Democratic party, and never looked back (except in abject horror).

Yep. Better get a wig, Fred.

Agree with the sentiment but what’s this about Bono? Isn’t he an Irish citizen? What connection does he have with the GOP?

Graham,
I belive Greg refers to the other Bono - of ‘Sonny & Cher’ fame. He was a congressman from California.
