I smell fear in the air. The more seriously the other campaigns (including the dems) take Fred, the more critical articles like this one you'll see. Notice all the anonymous sources in this article? The Rudy McRomney people have good cause to be scared...

Sounds like the RINO and Rat candidates are terrified of Fred.

I wonder why. Is it perhaps because he will wipe the floor with them, before it's all over?

“All of the Thompson testing-the-waters committee activities have been and continue to be performed pursuant to these regulations which have been on the books for decades,” Corallo said in an e-mail. “I suppose those legal ignoramuses (or is it ignorami?) forgot to check the rules. They could have made a quick call to the [former New York City Mayor Rudy] Giuliani campaign which started out as a testing-the-waters committee this cycle.”

LOL!! Kind of a verbal *smack*!

Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey (R) was quoted this week referring to Thompson as the “only conservative candidate.”

The only conservative that has a serious chance to garner the majority of Republican votes for the primary. Hunter is a tad more conservative.

I smell fear in the air.

Even right here on Free Republic.

Ya know it’s kinda funny. Pointing to facts in Fred Thompsons record are called attacks yet here you are calling names.

[Grunthor]

Bit more drama, we ARE dealing with an actor here....

I smell fear in the air.

Exactly. When you start getting flak, you know you're over the target.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Please illuminate me as to what names I called you.

[cripplecreek]

Look at your title.

I first read that as “Mitt Romney” not “Ron Ramsey.” (!)

Campaign finance laws really stink.

[ryan71]

Alright, Fred, don’t ruin a good thing by dicking around would these stupid finance rules.

Low profile, get the message.

[steve8714]

You have not attacked anyone on this thread, so I don’t think he was referring to you.

[ryan71]

Low profile, get the message out. :)

Give Mitt a few months. He may decide that this conservative thing isn’t working out so well and try something else.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

What is it that you think that means?

[Old_Mil]

I’ve asked this question on several Fred threads and have yet to get an answer. Does Fred Thompson support the deportation of, or amnesty for illegal aliens?
