I can confirm the lack of enthusiasm on the part of Fred Thompson. I have seen him gut punch his own supporters in front of the entire RPOF by spending five minutes onstage when his supporters had laid out 100,000 for the right to be on that stage.

He has been the beneficiary of a campaign of Republican grassroots to draft him, he now enjoys a level of support which is unsupported by the facts. Fred’s appearances in Florida this last week have been the weakest showing of a candidate since Sam Brownback. As a Presidential candidate, Sam Brownback can sell out a Christian Fund-raiser weeks in advance. Fred cannot. This is a reluctant testimony that I give. I would love for Fred to be the great white hope. Now watch as his supporters trash you for posting this article, and me for giving an honest testimony.

Yeah, I saw FDT Karate chop a teenage intern and then roll an old lady outside the auditorium. And then to top it off he french kissed a pro-abortionist!

Saw it with my own eyes!

Thannk you for your candid post. Freds image cannot deliver the high expectations required of him of those who need to be saved from Hillary Clinton.

Only one man can do that: Duncan Hunter.

One hopes that the RNC can realize this before its too late in this game.

If not, then the RNC will be handing the country over to Hillary Clinton on a silver platter.

No trashing, but you said you were going to attended another function to give him another chance, and you are still making comments that make me doubt your sincerity and you ability to do so with an untarnished perspective. I have even graver doubts seeing your Romney posts.

So no bash, just an interesting observation, one old political hack to another...

Been there.

In a nutshell and worth repeating. What irks me is knowing that, admittedly, some of those grassroots recruiters are right here at FR. And frankly, the fact that "the level of support which is unsupported by the facts" has, for me, made the promotion and rapid success of his campaign suspect. The blackout of Conservative Duncan Hunter by the media and his dismissal by FR 'conservatives'.... and the adamant justification of Fred, at, imo, any cost to conservatism.... is at the very least, troubling.

Explain his showing in the polls then.
