“The thing about Fredheads is that no matter what Thompson does, they say it was the smart thing to do.”

And no matter what Thompson does or says, the Mittheads and RootiTooties wil come out from under the rocks to badmouth him.

But fair is fair, for everything negative you guys can provide about Fred (abortion, border, marriage, CFR, etc.) your own guys have problems that stink up the place as bad or worse.

In a game of trading gotchas, I think Fred comes out ahead.

"What? Where have you been?"

Obviously the same place that so many here have been latley..

The Fred detractors seem to be of two minds...in one head...

Either the msm is absolutly correct and Fred is a lazy shlub not worthy of the adoration of the minions in his camp...

Or the net pundits are correct and Fred is a lazy shulb not worthy of the adoration of the minions in his camp...

Oy...

Intrade WAS great, but Americans can no langer join legally, so you are betting your predictions on Brits. Good luck with that.

Mitthead to Fredhead - Both of our guys are great. I hope Fred is not sick or something, really.

I pretty much agree with your comments. I do think that Thompson will have to up his public game as the primaries progress though. I’m just not ready to slam him for running his campaign his way. It’s up to him. If he screws up, it won’t be our fault.

I don’t even get how Fred is so bad on abortion and the border. He won’t create a Department of Anti-Abortion? The only ones that actually would are Huckabee and Alan Keyes.

As far as the border, he’s just being realistic. He fully believes illegals should travel back and file for citizenship or face the consequences of being illegal. Which is basically what’s happening now, just not enough. He doesn’t support automatic immunity from the law like McCain.

I disagree with him on campaign finance stuff. Hardly a deal breaker.

Well, that depends on two things. If Romney beat Rudy in some northeastern states, and Fred does well in Florida or California.

But lets hope Rudy doesn’t win.

No, I think it was only schedule conflicts.

Really? Why can’t Americans join?

The press is pissed because the Fred08 campaign is not kissing their lame arses.

Me thinks FDT is getting geared up to bring on the 12th COMMANDMENT

“Don’t speak ill of them until they speak ill of me. And then really speak ill of them.”

Riiiight. Intrade WAS great, back in the salad days when Fred was at 35%. No one complaining about Brits and what not then. Now he is down to 15%, and Intrade is suddenly passe.

Fred Takes Lead on InTrade!

But Fredheads, proud Fredheads,
Seeing Fred lose a little authority,
Make such multiple explanations before Free Republic,
As would make Occam weep.

Isn’t this article about Fred not showing up? I said I hope it’s not because he’s sick. I really mean it. I hope he’s not sick.

The newspaper suggested Thompson speak to McCain, "who knows a thing or two about winning New Hampshire primaries.

Yeah, and that's worked out really well for him hasn't it? Where does McCain stand in the national level polls now, has he managed to stay in double digit territory or has he sunk to the single digits by now?

Maybe the author of this piece hasn’t been paying attention.

More likely he has been paying attention and Fred has him scared. The establishment mouthpieces don't like candidates who aren't on their approved list of D.C. insiders.

This sort of thing makes me wonder about his health. Hope all is well.


Funny how the “wondering” and “worrying” comes only from Fred’s detractors, and not his supporters!

Where’s the “but” in “Fred sucks, I won’t vote for the dull old geezer.” ?

The 'but' is where you pulled that statement from.
