All this garbage is so hilarious. Just because Fred didn’t join the other candidates in announcing obscenely early (in order to maximize their $$$-raising potential), he is castigated as a “hold-out.”
The MSM is just ticked off because people are already tired of the obscenely-early-announcing candidates — as most of us here knew they would be.
Run, FRed, Run!!

I prefer more decisive candidates. This “will he or won’t he” thing is too show business for me.
Fred will jump in when he is ready. In the meantime, there is one every bit as conservative as Thompson and receiving little or no recognition. Duncan Hunter deserves the support and backing of true conservatives.
He needs to be elevated in the rankings so we can get both of these fine gentlemen on the same ticket next year.
Liberals have hijacked our election process. To the point where they can thrust maniacs like McCain and RINOs like Guiliani upon us as if they were viable conservative candidates.
Perhaps Duncan Hunter will be able to get his name out there, but for now he appears to be shut out. The liberal media isn't going to help him any.
As far as Fred Thompson, we'll see what comes about when he announces. Maybe he is or he isn't "all that", but I'm confident if he "comes close", the conservative storm will be impressive.
It is going to be difficult for Fred to live up to all this hype.
People have been viewing him as a tabula rasa, projecting all their hopes and dreams.
No one can live up to those kind of unrealistic, inflated expectations.
“Are People Losing Patience With [Fred]Thompson?”
Nope!!
The MSM wishes we could bypass all this election messiness and just go directly to the coronation.
Oh really? The reason that Michigan has the highest number of Muslims in the country is because of Abraham. Abraham also said that if he were to be re-elected, he would increase the quota for Muslims to come to the United States.
Abraham is highly praised in The American Muslim Council (AMC) publication in an interview with him. AMC asked the question: "Do you believe that AMC's role in promoting the interests of Muslims in America has begun to reduce discrimination against Muslims and mitigate the negative stereotypical image of Muslims and Islam in the West? If so, how was it accomplished?
ABRAHAM: I commend the American Muslim Council's efforts in reducing discrimination against Muslims and mitating the negative stereotypical image of Islamin the West. The efforts of AMC in sponsoring such dinners as that of February 13, 1996, assists in shredding a positive light upon the many wonderful accomplishes of the religion and the members of the Muslim community. The AMC should continue this good work by encouraging political involvement among its members.
The dinner Abraham referred to was the first White House Celebration fo EID Al-Fitr on February 20, 1996 by President and Mrs. Clinton. The AMC publication also shows a portrait of the First Lady holding the Koran.
As for AMC, Steven Emerson writes in his commentary, "Friends of Hamas in the White House," that AMC's tactics of claiming anti-Muslim racism rather than acknowledging the existence of Islamic extremism deliberately serves to silence criticism of terrorists." "The American Muslim Council is a radical group that supports radical Islamic terrorists movements," says Seif Ashmawy, the American Muslim publisher of the Voice of Peace in New Jersey. "I am shocked and outraged that the White House would embrace them."
Unfortunately, President Bush picked up on the tradition of honoring the end of Ramadan in the White House.
And Spencer Abraham understands the threat of Muslim terrorists?
Beam me up, Scotty!
The reasons for the delay have been spelled out almost ad nauseam. Some come along and say “well I don’t know why he is waiting, he needs to sh*t or get off the pot” or some such rot. Then it is explained to them that he is not really declaring “late” he has contractual obligation that had to be worked through and he is building his team etc. They will go “Well ok, thats fine... But he needs to go ahead and declare this delay shows he is yada yada yada...”
It really is interesting...
It is getting annoying. That’s fine if he doesn’t want to do it, but then go away and let us figure things out.
Timing is everything.
Hmmmmm... looks like Fred and hildeb!tch in S.C.! There is FR political posturing, then there is the reality of the electorate.
LLS
Translation: We’re skeered of Fred.
The election is 14 months away, most people don’t pay attention until Sept, which is 12 months away.
No problem.
The Presidential campaign shouldn’t start until after Labor day. This perpetual campaign garbage needs to end.
He can declare today or New years eve, he will continue to rise in the polls. Of course, he needs to reach the masses and strike a chord with them.
