In an obvious effort to diminish Huck, Fred gets off a line he wants Iowans to chew on in the weeks ahead:
Citing a face-off with America's enemies, Thompson asks: "Who do you want sitting on our side representing you?
"That ought to be who you elect president."
Then, in an attempt to put his foot down on debate silliness, he refused to play along on the raise-your-hand-if line of questioning on global warming.
"Im not doing handshows today," Thompson said to applause.
Not offered a full minute to respond, Thompson said, "Well, then I'm not going to answer it."
Power to the People!
In the name of God, why?
“If conservatives start playing follow-the-leader with small northeastern states then conservatism is doomed.”
Fact...
You’re a smart one. ; p
I love it when a plan comes together...
I missed all the fun today and have been reliving it vicariously through the posts here. It sounds like our “dead man” delivered a presidential show and tell for the other front runners. I just knew he would.
Wake up Iowa...You have a winner!
Go Fred!
;-)
Polls mean crap. Ask John Kerry and Howard Dean. You better start getting used to seeing Thompson’s smiling face during the general election debate. He was the only man on the stage tonight.
O’Reilly just announced a poll on his website for favorite Republican candidate. He did NOT include Fred. I just sent him an email; subject line Your poll and email body: Fred Thompson
How about everyone else do the same? Pass it around!
Bill O’Reilly, like most everyone at Fox News, is following orders to puff up Giuliani and stomp on any threats to Rudy. That tells me that internal polls at FNC are telling Murdoch to “diss” and ignore Fred because he threatens Giuliani. Nothing else makes sense.
"I am not impressed with your fake, manipulative, "poll". Who do you think we are, democrats?
{Hint: The conservatives are missing, you know, Fred, Duncan, etc.}
Such neglect on your part....I think you need... a moderator.
Fantastic!
I keep wanting to focus on Huckabee’s many flaws, but several Romney supporters keep coming around reminding me how disgusted I am with their candidate.
And I keep telling them, if they support Romney focusing on the polls is not a winning strategy. If they want us to get behind a poll front-runner, they’re essentially trying to sell us on Huckabee. Romney is in a world of hurt if the current polls hold, given all the time and money he’s spent.
Thompson / Hunter ‘08
Ouch! lol!
I don’t know. It occurred to me yesterday that I haven’t really heard a lot about Rudy from anyone lately. And on FOX for the past 2 weeks, it’s been Huckabee 24/7. So the Huckster has been getting bumped by the LSM, as well as FNC. And I really don’t get the Huckabee thing on FOX - not even on Cavuto. Cavuto did something or other for Carter, I believe, and he almost entered the Seminary, but that said, he is usually pretty quick to point out anti-capitalist behavior and with Huckabee, he seems to be ignoring it.
I would suggest if you “write in” Fred in an email to O’Reilly, you keep it non-confrontational. We’re trying to help Fred. Ticking BOR off won’t help him. Regardless of our own feelings.
I think you just stepped in that famous bucket, better go clean your foot off.
I watched and cheered for Fred. Having said that, how long does it take to say, “It’s [b.s.] and a Ponzi scheme.”?
