Fred Thompson "Surprise" Announcement today
Fred08.Com ^

Posted on 12/26/2007 7:55:28 AM PST by Onerom99

Rumor circulating on the Fred08 blog that there is going to be a major "surprise" announcement coming this morning.

Perhaps an NRA endorsement or a major political figure?

Sure, it’s his money, inherited from Daddy.

Arrogance does not mean pointing out the obvious.

‘he knocks off Huckabee and Romney in Iowa, the MSM will have to cover him.’

That is a big and unlikely if. Fred had his momentum, the loss of it cannot be blamed on MSM or other candidates.

Yeah Baby,

Go Fred Go. The ONLY Conservitive in the Herd. Everyone else is just flapping in the wind to see what the latest Freaking POL says and marches in that direction.

“B Clinton was not good looking without power. If he were the average loser, he would never see the action he gets now.
Women can overlook physical flaws. Men tend to not do that.

Example, I think Samuel Alito and John Roberts are very attractive. Part of their attractiveness is their intelligence.
Brad Pitt does nothing for me, his skull is empty.”

I don’t really have a problem with Fred.
He’s probably my second choice.
Do you know why he chose to attack Fox News a few weeks ago?

I notice that you use a 15 or 20-year old picture of Hunter. Why is that?

Wrong. His father never had that kind of money. Mitt made his own money and he did it himself. His business acumen is remarkable and shouldn't be ignored.

I'm a Fred guy but you gotta give a man credit where credit's due. But heck...no matter who's money it is he still hasn't been able to buy the nomination.

Those guys could walk on water and still wouldn’t beat Hillary.

Only Thompson, MCCain, or Rudy have a chance to beat her.

My father always said “the only thing you’ll find in the middle of the road is dead possums” or armadillos if you’re in the lower South. ;)

Rush has really wasted his influence. Rush should have been stumping for Fred a LONG time ago. We know Rush is not a fan of the Huckster, but he does seem to have a soft spot for Romney. Rush used to always criticize President Bush for not using the bully pulpit, and when it comes to Fred, Rush really drops the ball. Fred is really the only candidate worth getting semi-excited about. Let’s hope Rush comes to his senses, and makes the big push because it’s almost too late. We’re going to wake up with nutty McCain, or Obama, so now would be a good time, Rush.

“Romney’s candidacy then collapses..because one year of hard work and tens of millions of his own money couldn’t “buy” him a win.”


“one year of hard work”

Actually his meeting with his church leadership about the presidency was more than two years ago.

But outwardly, seriously referring to Jeri as his “trophy wife?” No.

Actually, in the stupid "get to know the candidates" questionnaire, he refers to his "favorite possession" as "my trophy wife", in a clear tweak those who have called Jeri just that.

Is that your wife in the pink dress? You post it so often, you must enjoy sharing your undying affection for her;)

I'd add...dead chances for a conservative administration if Romney, McCain, Guiliani, or Huckabee are nominated.

That's just plain not true. He made his millions from Bain Capital, a company he founded. A retraction and apology for your slander would be warranted. There are grounds to dislike Romney, but that does not justify lying about him.

It happens all the time and we all know it. They are quickly zotted and it is the reason for the acronym IBZT.

I hate to break the news to you, but armadillos have found their way to the MID South. You see them with their little feet in the air every place now.
