“Doug Patton is a freelance dunderhead....”
I agree, John McCain needs to find a party that stands for what he stands for. Good luck!
It’s becoming obvious that Fred really isn’t riding in to save the GOP day. If it comes down to Giuliani, Hukabee or Romney, then Romney all the way!
Wouldn’t count either of these two out just yet, though McCain’s chances seem to not be getting the boost they should. Regardless of which candidate for the Republican nomination eventually emerges as the favorite at the Republican National Convention (and it may come down to a floor fight), always consider the alternative.
That is where the fire must be concentrated for a “must-win”.
I have no reason to disagree with this article. The GOP Presidential race is in a somewhat of a sorry state at this point. Hopefully we’ll see some cream rising to the top soon.
Fred did fine on Meet the Depressed. He then ate Hucleberry alive in a short interview. Romney sure isn’t lighting any fires.
Countdown to the Thompson damage control goon squad coming in with a litany of ad hominem attacks against the poster and the author in 10...9...8...
Still grasping at straws for your 1% candidate?
LLS
LOL!!!!!!!!!
This is a stupid article.
Underwhelming my a$$. I thought it was among his best appearences yet. He gave well thought-out, lucid, Constitutionally sound responses and didn't let Russert get the best of him, yet kept his composure and treated Russert with respect.
>>As Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family has pointed out, Thompson endorses the idea of fifty different definitions of marriage. The same is true, it seems, on the definition of life, since Thompson simply wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned and the issue returned to the states.
In addition, Thompson seemed muddled and indecisive about his opinion on water boarding as a technique for dealing with terrorist detainees. <<
Roe V. Wade should be overturned.
Waterboarding, like other mock executions, is a form of prohibited psychological torture.
Dobson impresses me less and less.
‘But McCain’s unpopularity within his party stems from two other issues: illegal immigration and campaign finance reform.’
This author doesn’t have a clue, as this statement shows clearly.
McCain was never ‘popular’ with the GOP base at ANY POINT. Thats a result of his loving MSNBC’s gang of leftwingers and the attention they have given him over the past decade or so. He was only popular with the MSM types, who knew he would implode in a national election he entered at the top of the ticket.
At this point in the 2004 race, John Kerry was at the same leve Thompson is at today, folks. Doesn’t mean Thompson will win, but it does show the author’s research for this hit piece was shoddy at best, intentionally false at worst.
Giuliani fluff.
No Giuliani, NO PROBLEM.
The more I hear about Romney the less I like him, and I didn’t like him to start with. The game-show-host polish is not what I’m looking for in a president. And yet, slickness in a candidate seems to coincide with slickness in his campaign, and Fred could use a little slick in that department.
Nevertheless, I watched the MTP interview with Fred, and he strikes me as a mature, sensible, wise man; a statesman. While I’m not completely satisfied with his comments on a certain issue, he is clearly the best of the batch.
Who is Doug Patton and why should I let him decide who I should vote for?
