I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if Zell endorsed Fred. He said earlier on that he was waiting to see his old friend get into the race.

Thanks, I'm hoping it will catch on, since Fred Thompson is all about Federalism.
I'd do a “Frederalist ping”, but I'm too lazy to actually create a list.
Anyone else who wants to start using it though is more than welcome to.

Notice the crowd wasn’t all wild-eyed, frenetic and screaming their heads off, they were “warm and welcoming”. Fred is not going to be on the stump screaming and stomping his feet and waving light sabers. And there’s nothing wrong with having a cool and collected adult at the helm of the country.

"Well, no, Thompson Dems. Reagan Dems WOULD be the ones voting for Thompson except we're in the post-9/11 world, and they'd be crossing party lines for completely different reasons."


I'm sorry...that doesn't make sense to me.

If he really needs 100 million in a year this needs to be a typical day not a good day. $300,000 a day with 300 fund raising days a year would leave him $10 million short.

Your loss. ;)

Reagan Democrats aren't Thompson Democrats. Two different mindsets, two different reasons for crossing party lines.

Can't make it any simpler than that.

I didn’t know that. I imagine there might be many dems who are wary of their party’s continuing charge to the far left.

“YCan’t make it any simpler than that.”

Well, PLEASE make it simpler for li’l ole me.

You might not be able to make it any simpler,
but I beg to differ on “mindsets”.

I can’t imagine a Reagan ‘Rat loving any of the candidates.

In fact, I can see them getting interested in Fred, or another Republican.

Just how old are you?

Old enough to know it's pointless talking to you, since you can't grasp the most basic facts in this discussion. Bye now.

Ducking it, as always.

Reminds me of the time you accused me of “needing to wash my hood”.

Tacky...indeed.

Yep--look through my long history of posts, no debate, no discussion, just ducking it.

Good God, get OVER it.

Why would I bother to discuss anything with someone who holds onto grudges on a MESSAGE BOARD for a year when you're clearly too dense to understand something so simple as I've explained TWICE? (How is explaining a simple statement TWICE "ducking" anything?)

I've ducked nothing. You're just as ignorant AS a duck. So waddle off, "Natalie" (cute handle--hate the war much?).

WHY should I get over it?
You insulted the hell outta me.


:"You're just as ignorant AS a duck. So waddle off, "Natalie" (cute handle--hate the war much?)."


My screen name has nothing to do with them.

I am tired of this guy being the way he is.

Judge for your self if he's abusive.

You can dish it out but you can't take it.

You are an ignorant child.

Your attempt, as before, to bait me into another of your immature, pointless flame wars has failed.

Okie dokie.

You win.

You won’t be able to interject me into any of your conversations anymore.

Uh, when have I ever?

YOU posted to ME, lady.

You are either derranged or--well, I don't care, just go away. The only reason I responded was because of that loony last comment--you post to ME, and *I* am accused of interjecting...

Wow...

Bye, and please never post to me again--you just waste my time.

I don’t claim to understand the substance of your disagreement with Dixiechick -apparently it goes back to another thread. But you’re calling her some pretty nasty names and you are impugning the use of “Dixie” something I inherently don’t like as a Southerner.

I’ve read your recent posts and I understand and don’t blame you for being stressed but you’ve escalated the flaming in another thread that didn’t involve her. Maybe you could redirect a bit. I wouldn’t say anything except you make some really smart posts and have insight. I’d like you to stay around.

You seem like a very nice person, but this other person is nothing but a pain. She's never engaged in any interesting discussion with me, and is working on a grievance from ages ago. She only posts to me to flame.

I'm sorry you are offended as a southerner--my offense was toward the musical group and frankly anyone who can't see that is either looking for an argument or...well, you can figure out the alternatives. If only more FReepers were as sensitive about northerners, who no one seems to mind bashing, as if we're all vile scum, and didn't get so worked up about imagined insults. I loathe the regionalism around here--I'm an American, always have been, no ethnic or regional hyphenate--and wish those who rightly berate hyphenate-Americans would see themselves as something more than "southerners" as a means of distinguishing themselves from northerners, who never describe themselves that way in my experience (we're Americans).

Once again I'm drawn into a pointless OT discussion because of this insulting and not very interesting person. So I'll not post another comment about her, or to anyone attempting to draw me into her silliness.

Have a great weekend.
