The video shows a montage of images of members of the US military serving in Iraq and elsewhere with a plea to Americans to keep them in their thoughts.

Another classy move from a class act.

Leadership...so sets him apart from rest of the herd, especially the cow from New York...it’s about ideas not goodies.

Link.

Excellent message, in my opinion.

Beautiful. Worth watching whether you like Fred or not.

And the Leftists are hammering the death out of the clip on YouTube. Even the Paulistinians are dogpiling.

Class!

Thanks.

"FYMB"....

Thank you for putting the emphasis where it belongs.

Thanks to all our service men and women.

For what it is worth. All you fellow Fred Heads have noticed how Rush has come up close to the line but not endorsed Fred.

Have you also noticed Mary Matalin is an Advisor to Fred?

Mary and Rush are good friends, are they talking about it? I do not know, but they are smart enough to know the base is longing for someone with the heart of a Reagan Conservative.

“Another classy move from a class act.”

Bears repeating!

Merry Christmas, all, especially our troops and domestic first resonders who will be on duty for Christmas.

This isn’t a Christmas ad, but it is an appropriate ad for the season and this thread, 30 seconds of gratitude from 2003.

It’s too bad this hasn’t shown on any TV screens. It was by far the best candidate Christmas message, and would have been nice to see compared to the commericals of the others.

[TornadoAlley3]

GO FRED!

[Mr Rogers]

But!...But!...He didn’t give us the gift of universal Pre-K!

[LadyNavyVet]

Very classy. And quite telling. The other candidates’ ads essentially boiled down to “Look at me,me,me,ME!” Fred’s message was “Look at them.”

A candidate who’s not a narcissist. How refreshing.
