ORANGE CITY, IA, Nov. 20, 2007 - Republican Fred Thompson tried to rev up support for his presidential campaign Tuesday by comparing his Democratic rivals to race car drivers who only know how to turn left.
“It’s like they’re all in training for the NASCAR, you know, nothing but a left turn, just steady as she goes, all the way around,” he said at a coffee house in northeastern Iowa. “And they’re going to wind up kinda where they started from, too, like the George McGovern days, some of them driving a little faster than the others, but they’re all going in the same direction.”
Fred Thompson’s campaign seems to be…not all that spectacular to me. I’m not happy with any of the candidates at this point who are supposed to be representing middle America.
I agree — so far, none of the candidates on either side make me jump up and down … wouldn’t it be nice if we could find someone like Lincoln, or anyone prior to him, who has balls; spine; integrity; honesty; and not afraid of a fight?
There I go dreaming again…
