“Come out”?

Poor choice of words, perhaps? ;^)

So I would say to my fellow bloggers who, like me, know our endorsement means very little as far as the big picture of the campaign is concerned, that our collective voices, if shouted loud enough, just might do some good. The time is now to stand up for Fred if you support him. He needs our help desperately. Give as much money as you can spare. Write about the campaign often between now and January 3. Go Fred!

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.

Go, Fred!

He can do it. People just haven't gotten used to his style yet.

I sent Fred another donation today. And I talk him up where ever and when ever I get the chance.

Fred has a lot of solid ideas. His problem is he is not a good salesman. Politics today is more about salesmanship than statesmanship.

Didn’t Clinton speak figuratively a lot.

While I’m lukewarm about the entire slate of candidates, Fred could light my fire.

You know.... It’s times like these I am reminded of allllll the FRed supporters who hounded us Hunter guys with, “Don’t you realize he can’t win the primary.”

I really feel Fred has peeked and his campaign is all but over. The electorate thought him over and has already passed on the deal.

Imagine though…. If all the FOrmer FRed guys would support Hunter. What an overnight BOOST that would provide for a candidate who hasn’t exhausted his upside potential

I like Fred,and I was an early Fred supporter, but he does not inspire me with his speeches at all. Fred needs to remember that he is a really good actor...and START ACTING!

When Fred speaks, it’s like he’s on downers. He needs to be more like MR President and less like Mr Factoid. He’s got a powerful voice and excellect inflection, but he’s not using it to his full ability.

Does he want this or not? Facts are not enough in the world of politics.

A lot of people don’t think Romney’s repeated tall tales are a big deal — in my view that’s just another indication of how split our party has become.

Romney’s false claim that he was a “lifelong hunter” is the thing that first soured me on him a bit. Since then there have been more tall tales and considerably more souring (there are many examples — most recently, with his false claim that he had the support of the NRA when he ran for governor).

I absolutely have had it with the constant need to parse Romney’s seemingly simplest words — e.g., “support,” “saw,” “with” “lifelong.”

I remember being especially disturbed with Clinton, Gore and Kerry that they lied about such stupid things that were so easily proved untrue. It shows either a pathological inability to stick to the plain truth, or a pathological disdain for the intelligence of the American people. I now have exactly the same sense about Romney.

Under no circumstances am I willing to spend the next year defending Romney’s revolving claims and clarifications, when I spent the last four elections denouncing similar behavior from Kerry, Gore, and the ‘toons. If he is the GOP nominee and my dem friends/acquaintances want to discuss his penchant for spinning fables, my attitude will be “don’t look at me — I didn’t vote for him.”

The GOP is going to look ridiculous and lose a lot of credibility if we put forth Romney after slamming the past three donk candidates for the same repeated verbal gymnastics.

This is not a slam against Romney’s supporters — we all have the right to judge a candidate on whatever criteria we like. But this is my final straw — I personally want nothing to do with this guy.

Hunter vs Fred....stupid argument at this point...

I said elsewhere...both John F’in Kerry and Slipn Fall Edwards were polling single digits in Iowa last time...they came in 1, 2....

Anything can happen with these pig farmers...which I belueve have more in common with Tennessee than KaliFORnia...just saying who’d be 1 and whi’d be 2...:)
