If you haven’t gotten what Fred Thompson represents in the gazillion and 72 threads which have been posted here, you’re not going to get it from anything I could say.
And Plutarch has been on almost every one of those threads, thinking by denigrating Fred somehow it will elevate Mitt. It doesn't work that way, it only makes readers think less of a candidate who would have such supporters. Rudy, Mitt and Hunter supporters have, in my opinion, damaged the cause of their candidate by their incessant, transparent, and often childish postings on threads about other candidates.
