Fred is being patient, laying in the weeds, waiting for the flash in the pan candidates to burn themselves out.

Dat br'er Rabbit, he lay low...

Doesn't this all sound like wishful thinking?

I honestly don't think so. Perceptions, my friend - you have to take into account that Huckabee has been so heavily pumped up by the same folks whose only reporting on Thompson for the past month or longer has been along the lines of "This just in - Fred still lazy."

For a guy who has been completely written off to come in second or even a strong third - that's too newsworthy for even the most deranged anti-conservative folk in the media to pass up and not yammer on and on about. The inverse is true for Huckabee and possibly Mitt as well.

Too bad he didn't have Hillary Clinton's facility with commodities trading

IOW, what he needs is a fawning, sycophantic press that buries his misdeeds and (character) assassinates his critics.

Huckabee’s take of $35,000 from the stem cell researchers was but a small sliver of the roughly $378,000 in outside fees that Huckabee raked in during his final year as Arkansas’ governor.

*****

No wonder the Arkansas governor’s salary can be so low!!

You should be ashamed of yourself for your disingenuous slur against Thompson. You are inventing a hypothetical situation out of sheer imagination. For shame.

Moderator, is there nothing we can do about this kind of obnoxious comment? A warning perhaps?

He has NOT had chemotherapy. You are lying.

I don’t really care what anyone says against Huckabee. He is still better than Rudy T. McRomney. It’s not my fault everyone else is so bad. I’m also disliking Republicans as much as I dislike Democrats.

“Thompson, in my opinion, is not an option because of his health and the fact that he’s periodically getting intravenous chemotherapy to keep him alive.”

That’s an interesting “fact.” How often does he get these treatments? How heavy is the dosage? Such treatments are usually done for weeks or months at a time. Please provide the source of your information, as it is very important if true.

Of course, if you are just speculating (making it up), don’t bother to answer.

You know what, I really don’t want to spend any time going through your posting history trying to figure out whether or not you’re being sarcastic - but oh do I ever hope you were.

Oh, and since Thompson has indolent lymphoma, which is very non-aggressive, no chemotherapy is needed to “keep him alive.” Drugs are used to treat indolent lymphoma.

Perhaps you have a link to a source that will clear all this up. I’m waiting.
