In my case, it was between Fred and Romney. But today's news about Romney backpedaling on his contention that Governor George Romney marched with Martin Luther King during the civil rights era is the straw that broke the camel's back. It never happened, and his campaign disingenuously came out with a statement saying that Mitt was "speaking figuratively" not "literally."
Well, figuratively speaking, I'm a fine figure of a man, devilishly handsome, and have women three at a time when I'm not battling terrorists and making liberals' heads explode.
On the other hand, if you want to be "literal" about it, I'm 50 pounds overweight, devilishly cute, haven't spoken to another woman since I met my Zsu-Zsu, and I write long, logical, cogent articles against terrorism while making liberals' heads explode.
I don't trust a man who speaks "figuratively" as an adjunct to using plain English. Romney speaks "figuratively" fluently on abortion, gay marriage, immigration, and other issues. I can't abide politicians who find it necessary to shade, color, or otherwise try to obscure their positions on issues. It smacks of pandering which is not only dishonest but reveals an inconstant character and someone without any core principles or beliefs.
Fred Thompson has no such weakness as far as I can determine. He is a man who knows his mind and has the intellectual heft to flesh out his ideas in an impressive, rational, and completely logical way. He knows government, knows the Congress, and knows what he believes. As a communicator, he may lack passion. But he makes up for it by speaking clearly and concisely about issues he cares deeply about...

“Come out”?
Poor choice of words, perhaps? ;^)
And my pink shorts are in the wash. LOL
Romney. Gun grabber.
Stop washing your reds and white together!
I agree. Fred would be a fine candidate.
Too late. I already committed to Fred.
Celebrate Diversity!
To me diversity is having the steak and lobster!
He married George Baily's daughter?
Queers for Fred?
And the chair is against the wall.
Go Mr. Hunter or Mr. Thompson
Before Fred announced, there were stores that the rats were alarmed by Reagan Dems peeling off for Fred. I saw that live in action today.
Though I came out for Fred a long time ago, as I talk to others, I'm amazed at how many have decided to vote for Fred but have not talked to anyone about it. If you are a supporter, talk up Fred Thompson and support him with your dollars and in any other way you can.
Now is the time.
He can do it. People just haven't gotten used to his style yet.
It’s nice to hear stories about Dems coming to their senses!
Merry Christmas!
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (Ill protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arming the People to disarm criminals) INCREASE THE MILITARYS STRENGTH AND SIZE (giving those brave men and women a Commander in Chief to be proud of) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (dont give sanctuary anywhere to illegals, dont employ illegals, dont rent to illegals, dont extend credit to illegals, dont give illegals rights they dont deserve, report all crimes committed by illegals and deport those illegals who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with laws currently on the books) DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (enough is enough) CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (those who will interpret the law, not create rights that do not exist) PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (nominate superior Constitutional Justices to overturn Roe vs Wade) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (reform a broken program that cant sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations, with the added benefit of private savings accounts) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool DemocRATS put up) TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WONT PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - WE THE PEOPLE CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!
It’s amazing to be at their house and watch CNN, who so desperately covers for the rats. Too bad, I keep all the democrats in the family - friends too - abreast of Hillary & Huma, John’s love child, Obama’s muslim heritage, etc.
