Boring without you.
More boring after you joined

Hes like well.no vocaulary how did you ever get in tv,and when nixon said you were dumb i think he is right.

Versus Giuliani, Thompson is supposed to represent more the "true" republican core values. They are DUMB & DUMBER in my book.

Talk about boring. He is using the same ploy Bush used to get elected only this "family values" guy is divorced with adult children and a new wife who is old enough to be his daughter. Not only that but he has two young kids who he probably won't live to see get married or even graduate highschool. I am not judging him but pointing out the hypocracy. Don't run on a family values platform when your own home is questionable.

Fred Thompson is a moron. His campaign slogan should be, "You don't know? Well, neither do I."

but the world will be a better place withtout you in it freddy

Thompson's certainly right on the mark. Now there's a quality comedian amongst the bunch. All the others are
likely more frightening, than they are boring. Thompson is definately hilarious, as well as frightening....

Creep.

He's right, it was getting a little boring. Now it's like watching the Three Stooges. Much more comic and entertaining!!

I know this is a duplicate of my post under the ticker report about the debate, but it probably would have been better to post it here:
It's interesting that on CBS's morning program, there was a lot of analysis about how Fred Thompson failed in his attempts to appear presidential and clips of Giuliani and Romney shoveling it back and forth, but very little about how much more presidential and focused on simply answering the questions the so-called lower tier candidates were. The front-runners seem to be trapped in a world of childish bickering and sound bites.

That's a set up if I've ever heard one.

Um.. Fred... the race IS BORING WITH YOU!!!!! Since you've been here, I've been assslllleeppppp!!!!

Since CNN deleted my previous comment, I'll repost:

"I’ve enjoyed watching these fellas,” he said. “I gotta admit, it was getting a little boring without me.”

Fred, that a pretty arrogant statement, so far most of these other candidates still have more substanace than you.

We need a president who has a larger vocabulary than Thompson has.

Fred who?

How much more boring does it get?

He waited until fall to join the presidential ratrace; he'd been testing the waters since spring. Many debates have taken place during his brief time as a candidate; this is his first. I for one do not want a president who's going to drag his feet on everything. We need actions to be effective immediately, not at the president's convenience.

Boring? Has he heard himself talk, I know how we can put our children to bed now, forget the fairytales and the Hardy Boys....heres Fred Thompson.

Who is he kidding? He has no enthusiasm and I get tired, bored and depressed just watching him. I honestly thought the race for '08 hit a lull when he jumped in. He makes me depressed. Where is that fire and happiness and enthusiasm for this great nation. Where is Reagan?

Sen. Thompson must mean the race is boring with him in it. He must not know how many Democrats are praying that he is the nominee so that Sem. Clinton can cakewalk back into the White House.

That was great. The GOP candidates just have a good time. They joke when its appropriate but are also serious about the issues. The Dems just recite the same boring lines over and over.

With Thompson in, the race really is much more interesting.

Boring? Fred is going to spice it up? That would be like adding salt to Salt Lake. Unbelievable.

I can't believe that of all the people in America – that the republicans can't find a better person than Rudy G – -can you tell I don't like him?

i would like to know your opinion on the immigration law.some people are not like all the others.as for me i thnk everyone should be based on what they plan on doing once they get there visas.some people are just trying to get there visas just so they can get a good and decent job so they can support there families.

You are flat out wasting your time. Haven't you heard that GA is a Republican state? Where have you been?

Just a quick comment from an outsider (but a fan of CNN none the less). Here we have another CNN headline about a relatively trivial presidential race issue, this time with a boredom analogy, whilst perhaps it is broader life topics that have actually become boring to you. By refusing to hear El-Masris CIA Rendition case or appeal, I think the Supreme Court has just increased yet further your governments immunity from being challenged in the courts (including by you) for its conduct. Missing from main headlines and yet perhaps this may even suggest a future path of domestic oppression (perhaps via successive Patriot acts)similar to that displayed by the courts and authorities during apartheid in South Africa. Likewise, the ongoing legal and financial protection for off-shore acts by senior officials, top military and now, some recent other headlines suggest, private contract security companies is provided at the highest level of US government. How is this perceived abroad? Perhaps also US foreign policy is becoming answerable only to a select few in DC and corporate America, and planned virtually without limits or intelligent thought? The latter is worryingly similar to Hitlers Germany leading up to and beyond 1939. Sure, Thompson was late entering the GOP race because he thought it was boring without him. But maybe there are some bigger more thought-provoking topics worthy of headlines at the moment, and if you find those too boring, try to participate anyway as it is your next generation who get the bill for todays boredom.

Thompson's flattering himself unduly if he thinks he's made the race more exciting.

It's equally as boring with him as it was without him.

"I’ve enjoyed watching these fellas,” he said. “I gotta admit, it was getting a little boring without me.”

Wow Fred I didn't know that you were so arrogant.

I wonder if this here fella, goes by the name 'a Thompson is gonna mosey on down to the next debate that they have?

I think it'd be right kind of him to grace them with his presence. Dontcha think?

Is this guy for real???
Fred Thompson is such a joke. I don't think he even seriously wants to be President (unless someone just "gives" it to him). Is he thinking this will boost his marketability in the entertainment industry??

Question: Who died and made Fred Thompson 'King'? The current G.O.P. race is/was anything but boring.

Yes, you're so exciting, aren't you Fred?

PLEASE!

Boring?? I guess that worked in a pre-9/11 debate. Thompson is way off – this voter doesn't want an entertainer as a president during times of war.

"Dead Thompson" had his on-stage debut and proved that he has nothing to offer other than the same shallow ideas that we've gotten from GW Bush. His comments on Social Security were hysterical! Social Security won't be able to pay out anything to future beneficiaries? Who told you that, Fred? Ice-T on the set of Law and Order? Even the White House contends that, even if NOTHING is done to reform Social Security, beneficiaries will still receive 75% of their benefits once the program becomes insolvent. And his "solution" was progressive indexing of benefits which, oddly enough, will pay out LESS to future beneficiaries than if NOTHING is done to reform Social Security! Doh!

Dead Thompson should stick to corn seeds and leave the big ideas of making America better and stronger to people with real ideas.

NY for DWIGHT

what I read:
Thompson: Race is still boring with me, after I woke up from a ten minute nap during the debate with my wife screaming down my eye piece.

And its even more boring with you, Lazy Fred. Go back to Law & Order and do something you are qualified to do.

I would vote for Fred Thompson long before I would vote for the socialist Hillary Clinton. At least Fred understands that bigger government is not the solution to the problems facing this great nation.

Fred didn't say he hadn't heard about it. He actually said, "I don't know all the facts surrounding that case, I can't pass judgment on it. I know that good people were doing what they thought was best." He also said that, generally speaking, local matters should be left to local residents.

Oh, please. Talk about Thompson being full of himself. This man is so far from the mainstream he'll need a GPS to find it. And when it comes to clues, he couldn't recognize one if he were standing on a pile of them.

Just think about it: "President Fred." Sorry, but I can't think of a single voter who can get past that. We already have a Shrub. We don't need a president with one less letter and half a wit.

HA HA!

I don't know if that quote is lifted from some historically witty saying, but man that describes Thompson to the T!

This guy is a joke.

Instead of joking about how FDT was coming late to the game, Romney should have joked about how his numbers were slipping compared to FDT!

FDT '08 – SECURICTY, UNITY, PROSPERITY!

News flash – it's more boring with you in it.

Your fake 'country-mannerisms' isn't enough to get you elected any more. Bush has already played that good ol boy card trick.

We have seen you get out of your limo and into your photo-op pickup truck.

Go back to TV.

Fred must be snoozing through his own speeches. Hope he doesn't nod off during the debate tonight. I wonder what he was doing as the nation discussed Terri Schiavo – said he'd never heard about it.

Some people run for office – others amble.
