Reply #47: I think the Magistrate is wishful thinking

I agree with you, Blue. Thompson will run, and he stands a very good chance of winning. Especially if our nominee is one of the current top three.

Americans LOVE to vote for actors. What has Bush got except an ability to act? Reagan too, for that matter. If everybody wanted to have a beer with Bush, they all wanted Reagan to be their kindly old grandpa. It didn't matter what he actually did as president, it's was the image he projected.

It's always been about "the show" with these people. They win by creating a story and characters that keep the public blind to what's really going on, until it gets so bad it can't be white-washed any longer. Like Iraq. And Katrina. But even then, it's still real hard to penetrate their smoke and mirrors for long.

Thompson will be just the kind of guy they need, and they'll kick our butts with him if we're not very smart and very careful.
