Fred Thompson appears to be King of Freeperville

http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=186;results=2

The above poll has him running ahead of Duncan Hunter by a 3-to-1 margin in a composite member/non-member poll. The hard-cores favor him by a similar margin. Rudy barely registers, McCain even less.

1. You're breathless....

:rofl:

2. Kinda reminds me of the backup quaterback being the most popular guy on the team

ya know, the one who isin't actually in the game gets all the hopes and dreams and wishes of the fans that he can do a better job then the guy actually in the game.

3. Lets see how he does when he actually has to play the game.

I do not think he will get the women's vote because of his strong stand against abortion.

4. I'm thinking they like his child bride, Boobsy McBigBust nt

11. you owe me a keyboard for that

Beer coming through the nostrils is an interesting sensation.

5. Of Course they like him. Ol' Fred is rated "One of the laziest Members of Congress"

...Right up their alley.

They liked Dumb Bush and Now they like Lazy Fred.

6. Freepers are fickle. At one time, they worshipped Powell, and Rumsfeld...

and Liddy Dole and Gingrich and DeLay and even Lucianne Goldberg. And many, many more -- including Smirk.

But Freepers are fair-weather friends. Do something they don't like and they turn on you like werewolves.

Thompson is the Freepr flavor of the month.

7. It's widely reported that Fred has been anointed by Rove as 'the' candidate

I've read this in numerous places, maybe even here on DU.

Thompson is an actor and stagecraft (the fake red truck, fake clothes, fake persona) worked for him in the past in politics. So this doesn't surprise me. Freepers just "ditto" what they're told to think by the RW Wurlitzer that is the MSM today, and they've been told that fred is the guy they should get behind. If rove had blast-faxed to the RW Wurlitzer that they should talk up Duke Cunningham, he's be winning this "poll" instead.

Also note how the media has started building Thompson up and, like with bush, they're just promoting the fake image while ignoring the substance.

8. Freepers hate reality and Freddy is an actor (a bad one, but still ...)

so really, its a match made in hell

[Vickers]

9. They admire his slovenly gluttony.

I can just see Freddy in a wifebeater down in the basement, posting on Freeperland.

10. Isn't it something that they're too stupid to notice that Fred is just George, Part Deux?

Heads up freepturd trolls. Here are a few of Fred's votes on immigration:

12. He has cancer. They screamed for Edwards to quit

when HIS WIFE was diagnosed with cancer but they jump on the bandwagon when a republican candidate HIMSELF has cancer but chooses to run anyway. Hypocrites.

[snowbear]

13. Hey, look at his face... no wonder they love him..

[Contrary1]

14. What's that brown stuff running down the side of Fred's face?

Oh...never mind.

[Vickers]

15. Nice cold sore.

:rofl:

[Sparkly]

16. He's so strong and manly!!

Or so Tweety keeps sayin'. :shrug:
