“I agree. It shows that he doesn’t think he “deserves” to be President.”

Unlike Hillary.

To save all you anti-Fred people time google searching for exaggerated stories on Fred, let me help you out by just listing a weeks worth of anti-Fred headlines for you so you can spend your time doing other things.

Fred Hates Puppies

Fred won’t send his Mother a Christmas Card

Fred’s underwear are two sizes too small

9 out of 10 say they wont vote for a bald guy. Sorry Fred.

Dozen illegals found in Freds trunk

Fred says if elected he won’t serve

Fred says he would select Democrat as VP

[pgkdan]

Discouraging for who? I think it’s moronic to even write this article. Fred was being clever in a self deprecating way that most people find endearing. If this is what you’ve got to pin your hopes for a Romney victory on I’d suggest you just quit now.

You Mitt-worshipers really are hateful.

Trying to encourage his studio to hurry up so an interview could start, Carl Cameron of Fox News said into his microphone: “The next president of the United States has a schedule to keep.” Standing beside him, a deadpan Mr Thompson interjected: “And so do I.”

Thank the Lord for one politician modest enough to think it's silly for people to keep calling him The next president of the United States a whole year before the election!

I'm sure Mitt has been dreaming of being president every night as he falls asleep. He's in it for himself and his ego.

Hitpiece alert.

Post an article, then never respond??? C’mon dude, get with the program.

[org.whodat]

And, newbie, you seem to be doing an awful lot of Fred bashing...

Another paid poster for the mittwitt I guess.

[colorcountry]

Oooooh, gooody! I want to play too.

[scottdeus12]

Color, how did you go about getting your family tree (on your personal page)?

Getting a screen name like that is like getting that giant eagle tattoo on your forearm.

Aww. don't be too hard on him...actually, it MAY be a ploy to convince us all of the naivete of the poster. I'm not buying it.

[org.whodat]

Post an article, then never respond??? C’mon dude, get with the program.

Could have been one of mitts son's and he got mad because he couldn't post about his military record.

[trisham]

Ouch!

[greyfoxx39]

And we're chewing on our Romney Flakes...

LOL, clever!

[greyfoxx39]

The ROmney camp has decided to now act like the Paulites and spam the web.

Well, you sure have the Mittbots screaming on THIS thread, LOL.

I went to familysearch.org. Since I and my family were born LDS for many generations, all the work has already been done.

I copied the information for each of my grandparents, then pasted into my “outlook express” program and created a “new message.” Then I went to the tabs on the bottom of the outlook express page - pressed the “source” tab, copied everything from < body> down and pasted it onto my homepage. Voila! Now everybody knows everything about my background.

Mormons no longer question the veracity of my claim that I was born into the Mormon religion and no longer believe. They still think I am a weak-willed, apostate, who is doomed to outer darkeness, but at least they know I’m not lying about my progenitors.

...it MAY be a ploy to convince us all of the naivete of the poster.

What? So we won't concentrate on the naivete of his candidate? Losing gambit for sure.

[untrained skeptic]

Oh no, Fred Thompson has a sense of humor!

Let's psychoanalyze that little quip and determine that it is "very telling" and means whatever we want it to mean.

More idiocy from the press that wants to focus on absolutely anything but the issues.

[kevkrom]

77 replies and not a single follow-up from the thread starter. Are you waiting to hear from your lawyers, or are you just hard at work on the next PowerPoint slideshow?

[bcsco]

Oh no, Fred Thompson has a sense of humor!

Doncha know? That's why he's so slow. He spends all his time thinking up one-liners.

[scottdeus12]

Thanks for the info...I went there and didn’t find much on my ancestors.....only grandparents.
