Thompson Dramatized GOP Weakness
Fred Thompson is a big, imposing guy with a big, authoritative voice. Too bad he doesn’t have anything to say.
All his voice is booming so far is empty platitudes.
If he’s the Republicans’ next Ronald Reagan, they are in more trouble than I thought.
Reagan had a message: Strengthen America. Tear down this wall. Cut taxes. Government is the problem.
This year the Democrats own the bumper-sticker war:
- Get out of
- End poverty.
- Universal health care.
- Stop global warming.
Thompson’s message seems to be: I’m on TV. I play a tough guy. I’ve got a Southern accent. So I’d be a swell President.
Still, that may beat the other Republicans’ equally lame messages:
Giuliani: Remember me? I’m the 9/11 guy!
McCain: Remember me? I’ve been around the block!
Romney: Look at me. I’ll be anything you want!
Huckabee: I lost 100 pounds – and kept it off!
