While watching Fred Thompson address the RNC last night I took a few notes about what I learned:
McCain's VP pick thinks that since Alaska is the physically largest state it is the most important state. Maybe so important it should be its own nation.
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln didn't know how to dress a deer. They got their beef jerky from the local 7-11.
Breaking rules a couple hundred times in college is a sign of leadership. The more you break the more qualified you are to be president. It is simple math really.
Dating a stripper is cool and encouraged. Everybody should try it sometime.
Many more below the fold ....
McCain was, and this is the first I've heard of it, a prisoner of war (POW). But he doesn't like to talk about it much.
McCain lost more multi-million dollar planes in a couple years then most people get parking tickets in a lifetime. That is leadership in a nutshell folks.
Many of the things McCain had to endure as a POW he now supports. The difference is really simple, now it is happening to other people so it is OK.
McCain is responsible for the current situation in Iraq and everything is just peaches and cream. He promises to create the same in Iran and Russia if elected cause who doesn't like peaches and cream.
Did I mention McCain was a war hero and POW.
McCain can't string together an intelligent, eloquent, focused sentence, therefore he is more fit to be president. If you graduate at the top of your class you are not fit to be president for obivious reasons.
McCain also can't read off a teleprompter cause he is a honest "straight-shooter." Obama can read 100 point type so he is the opposite. Please also don't note the irony I'm attacking Obama in this manner via a teleprompter.
McCain is the only person running for president that has character and cares about the United States. Therefore by default Obama doesn't have character or care about the United States.
McCain has been in Congress for decades, therefore he bears no responsibility for its low approval rating. It is the fault of everybody else. See, that is called leadership, blame other folks for problems you created.
McCain doesn't know how to use the Internet but he is 110% sure of the deep moral and scientific question of when life starts. He knows cause Pat Robertson told him so and when has Pat ever been wrong.
McCain likes the American flag one heck of a lot. He will promise to wear American flag PJs in the White House if elected.
God loves John McCain almost as much as McCain loves America. And this is true, cause I am not sure you've heard this before, he was a POW.
And finally, McCain only has a "life story" to tell voters and is void of any ideas, therefore that is reason 1 through 147 for why you should vote for him.
Feel free to add anything you learned from Fred Thompson or any of the other speakers in the comments.
