Among other things. I gave him credit for his rhetorical attributes and criticized him for his lack of political abilities to win election to public office.
Don't whine to me. You opened up this can of worms. If you can't take the heat of truth, than don't make asinine remarks that can be easily pulled apart.
>>>>>Now, please provide me with ONE example of Fred Thompson’s eloquence on behalf of the principles we hold dear.
Keyes isn't always elegant in his speeches. He often can be a windbag. Fred Thompson is a good communicator. I don't need to have a red flag waved in my face to get me motivated. Btw, I gave you two video links on FredT earlier this evening. One on federalism and one was a general interview with Peter Robinson. You didn't respond. Guess you ignored them.
>>>>>Show me the personal political scars he bears for conservatism and for America.
FredT has run for office twice and won both times. Alan Keyes makes a living out of getting scared.
If things work out and conservatives find FredT`s presidential campaign effort acceptable, we might have a conservative president in the WH come January 2009. You object to FredT. So be it.
Thats what it comes down to. Politics!
see my point?
Romney sure beats Hillary but he’s a Mormon for Chrissakes and “only decided he’s pro-life” a few years ago when he started this run and his wife gave to Planned Parenthood.
I fear that. A Mormon of any conviction doesn't’t need to be 50 years old to reach an epiphany on infanticide.
No way.
I’m Southern Baptist...we are much like Mormons on culture issues. I meet a pro-abortion Southern Baptist, I consider them apostate.
It is our crucible and mine personally along with gun rights, illegals and driving a stake thru the heart of both Islam and political correctness.
LOL No sweat off my butt.
I never voted for him.
Can the dumb talk.
“Mitt Romney’s “movement” is the advancement of Mitt Romney.”
His father walked out on Goldwater’s acceptance speech, his father ran as a very liberal, anti-war candidate against Nixon in 68, Mitt has campaigned on the fact that he was NOT a Reagan Republican, or even a Republican at all during the Reagan years, and all five of his sons refuse to serve, at the same time that they campaign for their father who calls for 100,00 more other sons to enlist in the military, to flesh out the war machine that he fights to lead.
Like I said, I’m starting to believe that he is more about the Romney family liberalism than just pure ego.
The family has supplied at least three straight generations in the fight against conservative America.
Oh, you mean the kind of "federalism" that pretends unalienable rights are state matters?
We’re not gonna get a Human Life amendment passed into law in the current political environment. No matter how much you, I and the good Doctor want it. Federalism worked with the abortion issue for 200 years. America never had abortion on demand until Roe v Wade came along. Now its abortion on demand 24-7-365. I agree with FredT. Lets overturn Roe v Wade and return the issue to the states. That is better than what we have now. Apparently you want to keep Roe in place and have 1.4 million abortions every year from here to eternity. Not a smart stance to take.
"Well, we're at a crossroads in many respects, and we're going to do what many other generations have done, and that is come together, for a change, and solve them. You know, the things that we hold most dear, that is our safety, our very survival, certainly our economic well being, is at stake, with regard not only to our own families but with regard to future generations. There’s nothing that could be more serious than the things that this generation is going to face and are already facing."
Do you find that deep, insightful or motivational?
Do you find it disturbing that his first impulse is always towards "bipartisanship.?
Actually, you have me at a disadvantage here. Our host has made it clear that he doesn't want me going down this path.
And so, most of your above posts are going to go without reply from me, even though they very much deserve it.
Your promotion of your candidate will mostly have to go on with only the benefit of dishonest attacks from these liberal candidates' supporters, and rah-rahs from a bunch of yes-men.
What a load.
Prove it.
Did you read my post twice, then?
They change from issue to issue and that is exactly what Mitt does well.
ROFL...
Won't argue with that.
>>>>>What a load.
Dumping Roe v Wade and returning the abortion issue to the states will save the lives of millions of unborn children. That's not a load, its the truth. Once we get rid of Roe we can work on getting that Human LIfe amendment which Ronald Reagan wanted.
No, two posts up in post 37 I mentioned it again.
Right now, Fred Thompson is everything to everybody! This guarantees that Fred Thompson will definitely disappoint some people when he finally officially starts running for the ‘08 Presidency, and it’s by how much that Fred does disappoint others that will really matter during the ongoing ‘08 Presidential race. Many conservatives are truly hoping to not be disappointed in Fred Thompson!
Most will still occur.
Once we get rid of Roe we can work on getting that Human LIfe amendment which Ronald Reagan wanted.
What are you waiting for?
What does that mean?
Funny, Mitt Romney has accomplished more than any candidate running for President at the moment.
Obama not only looks like he belongs on the cover of MAD Magazine, but he has accomplished zip.
Vaporware? You don’t know what substance is.
You betcha.
Gay marriage.
Permanent "assault" weapons ban.
Socialized medicine with taxpayer-funded abortions.
Homosexuality normalized in the schools.
More Dems and Indies appointed to the courts than Republicans.
A decimated MA-GOP.
Oh yeah. He's accomplished alright.
Hillary is green with envy...
