Hi fellow Fredheads. My long trek to the in laws looked to be pretty boring.
Then I remembered the Fred08 bumper sticker I hadn't yet given out.
I held it up to the window as I passed or was passed.
I got every reaction from cheers and smiles to the bird.
He actually made a point of speeding up past me to flip me off.
I was pleased to know that people were able to see the sticker.
One guy had a totally confused look - but he had a CA license plate.
I'm sure he was struggling to understand what all that white, icy stuff on the road was.
Merry Christmas everybody
Don’t let us down, Iowa. We can’t afford Rudy McRombee.
:D
Keep on FRed’en.
....and Merry Christmas to all.
Totally confused look with ca plates.LOL I’m not surprised.Merry Christmas
Great story, glad you got mostly positive reactions. Looking good for Fred. Once I get my Fredgear I wonder what reaction I will get.
A lady pulled up beside us in a pickup truck. My wife held up her Kerry sign, and the other lady responded with a big grin and a thumbs up. My wife was delighted. Then the lady moved past us, and we all saw more Bush stickers, on the back of the lady's pickup.
At that point my wife realized the thumbs up had been for my conservative bumper stickers, not her Kerry sign. She broke out cussing; my son in the back seat and I broke out laughing.
Dude, you rock.
FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.
During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.
I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.
Fred Thompson has published his first principles, some of which are mentioned above. In addition to those, he strongly believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, federalism, traditional American values, the rule of law and is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment — all concepts established during the birth of our country and documented in our Constitution.
Again, try to find any candidate who has laid out their plans to “fix” this country. You will find they all speak in vague and abstract terms on their plans.
For those who have heard Fred Thompson speak, you will usually hear him say that the Fred Thompson you see today is the same Fred Thompson you saw yesterday and is the same Fred Thompson you will see tomorrow. He stands by his principles and values and doesn’t shift his positions based on polls or public opinion; in other words, he doesn’t say what the voters want to hear just to get elected, but remains steadfast on his views and convictions.
During his time in the Senate he focused on three areas: to lower taxes, strengthen national security and expose waste in the federal government. Fred Thompson has foreign policy experience, having served as member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Intelligence committees.
As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).
As a member of the Finance Committee, he worked tirelessly to enact three major tax-cut bills. Fred Thompson remains steadfast and even though a person may not agree with all his views and he understands some may disagree with him, you can count on him to be consistent and unwavering.
Don’t be fooled by his laid back approach and what critics call his “laziness.” As a former assistant U.S. attorney, he earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor and he possesses the toughness this country needs in order to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s issues.
I ask that you take a hard look at what this country needs, then take a hard look at all the other candidates’ views, policies, their records and their track record on consistency. Fred Thompson possesses integrity, loyalty, commitment, energy and decisiveness, all traits of an effective leader, and will emerge as the best person to take this country boldly forward.
Please help Fred win in Iowa:

HEADS UP...IOWA! PLEASE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ALL OF US.
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll 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 MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (giving those brave men and women a Commander in Chief to be proud of) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s, don’t employ illegal’s, don’t rent to illegal’s, don’t extend credit to illegal’s, don’t give illegal’s rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by illegal’s and deport those illegal’s 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 can’t 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) - WON’T 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!
OK...another small donation! All I could afford right now, but this is the 3rd time this month!
AMERICA needs a Christmas miracle...a leader, a wise man, who can bring this Country together. A kind man with a lovely First Lady and two small children to raise in the White House. Isn’t that a lovely thought?
FRED THOMPSON is the man who can lead our Country to a second Conservative revolution. Stand on our principles and help in every way we can!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
FRED VETS, SIGN UP TODAY AT:
I think I got the bird twice in Michigan, for having Bush bumper stickers in ‘04.
Thanks.
Ping.
LOL.
HOpe you had a blessed CHRISTmas.
How’s you and your loved ones et al?
This, more than anything else, is why I think Thompson should be our candidate and our president. I believe that the other candidates (except for McCain and Hunter) are running in the primary with half-stated positions that they can run away from in the general election and run even further away from when in office. Rudy, Romney, and Huck in particular give us little in their past that show a belief in conservative principles or a tendancy to govern in a conservative manner, and are reluctant to fully explain the policies they would adopt with their new-found conservatism. That alone puts Fred ahead of any of his rivals.
Let FREDom ring!!!
Thanks 2ndDV.
Post #9, bump to the top!
