incapable of engaging in debate about the candidates and their respective campaigns without a bunch of idiotic and juvenile namecalling

Um... Spiff... you just posted this:

Stocks in pharmaceutical manufacturer Sanofi-Aventis, who manufactures the powerful Ambien prescription sleep aid, have dropped significantly in reaction to this news. Iowa Department of Heath officials have warned residents to avoid using heavy machinery or operating a vehicle during or immediately after viewing any of the Fred Thompson advertisements.

That's not idiotic and juvenile?

They’re like Libs calling into Rush; they can’t argue on the merits so they come up with childish crap like this.

[Neu Pragmatist]

It sounds like you’re disappointed that Fred is actually going to compete for Iowa . After all of the money and all of the hype , if Mitt loses Iowa he’s done .... LOL !

[kevkrom]

Maybe the Willard who lied about Ronald Reagan’s pro-life credentials, or maybe the Willard who threw Rush Limbaugh under the bus on the word of Harry the Body Reid.

Or the one who declared himself free of the whole Reagan/Bush philosophy?

So you are saying you have not watched them...

Well I guess I should expect that.

[ejonesie22]

Excellent work. These are the kinds of ads that bring real voters into the voting booth.

After all of the money and all of the hype , if Mitt loses Iowa he’s done .... LOL !

Oh it's worse than that. Slick Willard's poured eleventy jillion dollars into Iowa. He can't just win there, he has to win big. Huge.

[ejonesie22]

Yup...

That’s going sting.

And if Fred takes it...

[trisham]

Heh. Fred doesn’t put me to sleep. Listening to a thoughtful, serious, down to earth candidate is refreshing for me. :)

"idiotic and juvenile namecalling of your fellow FReepers"

So examples would include stripper pole posts and what was it one of your buddies said today?

Oh yeah, were are a bunch of "Gun totin" folks...

I think that's what are called conservatives, you ought to check it out, it's a neat political philosophy...

[trisham]

This, after your first post to the thread?

[mainerforglobalwarming]

Ditto. And it’s not like there are any orators in the gop field that will make anyone forget about william Jennings Bryan anytime soon.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Exactly , if Mitt loses Iowa , New Hampshire won’t be able to save him .

[Spiff]

That's not idiotic and juvenile?

No. And it wasn't namecalling either. It was an attempt at witty commentary on the widely known boringness factor of Fred and his campaign. I didn't call anyone here a name. I didn't even call Fred a name. I simply expressed, in my own way, my opinion that he and his campaign are boring. Given that he put an earlier Iowa audience nearly to sleep and he had to wake them up and beg for applause when he was done, the point was apt.

[ejonesie22]

No, of course not!

It’s pithy because it’s from Spiffy!

[Petronski]

Slick Willard has a gun . . . oh wait, he borrowed that. Well, he's been hunting all his life--twice. Well, he's an NRA member! (For about a year.)

Well, he's got Jack Lord hair . . . that's important too...

I hope the ads work and kncok Rootie down to single digits.

I like the way Fred speaks. As for his age? I’m just glad to see someone who is mature enough to be president.
