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?

The MSM is scared of Fred. They do not want a true conservative. They so far have not found dirt on Fred.

Now *that* is funny. No dirt on Fred? An attorney who spent his life as an attorney, politician, lobbyist, and actor has no skeletons? Puh-leaze. The MSM isn't scared of Fred. It's just that there's no use beating a horse that hasn't even left the starting gate.

“Your comment is not that far afield from the “pole dancing” posts that got one guy banned...and rightfully so.”

Didn’t FRED!! refer to Jeri(with an “I”!) as his “trophy wife”?

I see them all the time in Marshall County when I visit my parents. They showed up the same time the fire ants did. Wonder how long before the “Killer bees” get here?

>>I expect it is a big-time endorsement. Fred needs to kick-off the post-Christmas campaign swing. As much as Huckabee would like it, nobody is going to be taking time off from campaigning between now and Epiphany.<<

Agreed. Its pretty clear he is not gonna win Iowa or New Hampshire so he need to make the case that he has strength for a long run with better states to come.

Now, what would really help would be a strong speech from Fred to go along with a big endorsement.

It's because Mitt is a very, very good liar. He can lie with a straight face, and he fools a lot of people. Eventually, just about everybody will hear a position-of-the-week in which he agrees with them, and will think he's on their side.

Let's take one charge at a time.

What was the screen name of the poster who posted pic's of Jeri Thompson pole dancing?

You don't know. Because that poster was a disruptor who was quickly spotted and zotted.

Most dishonest of you to use that example to smear the regular FR posters who support Mitt.

"...had a personal attack made against me including being called a “Son of Perdition”.

I guess I have a weird sense of humor, but attacks like that always seem to hit my funnybone, no matter where they are aimed.

“I suppose it could be that Fred is endorsing Romney.”

You might be right.

It’s the smart move for FRED!!—kingmaker.

That's just plain not true. He made his millions from Bain Capital, a company he founded.

Don't be so naive.

Mitt had every advantage in business -- access to a gold-plated network and tens of millions of dollars in capital.

That's the kind of silver spoon he had from daddy.

Yes, he made the most of his advantages, but to pretend he doesn't owe his wealth to his family & connections is laughable.

He inherited his seed money and connections from Daddy.

Yes, Romney made his fortune larger, but that, candidly, is easy to do when your daddy was HUD secretary, senator, head of a multi-national car company, and multi-multi-millionaire.

It’s nice, but it’s expected; nothing special.

Reminds me of Donald Trump. Yes, he’s reasonably wealthy. Supposedly a great businessnessman. But, candidly, if he put his tremendous inheritance in mutual fund, he would have had a lot more.

So they’re migrating. lol
I’m from the upper South, VA but I live in northern NC now. We don’t have them here at least not that I have seen. We used to see them when we went to visit my husband’s father in Albany, GA. We lived in Atlanta then and only saw them in southern GA and westward toward TX where my husband is from originally.

The question remains though...where were they?
DEAD, squished in the middle of the road! LOL

“Only a gut felling, but you are right. If Fred should drop out after Iowa, he will definitely throw his support to McCain.”

Watch the Fredheads meltdown if he endorses McQueeg...

...popcorn time...

I do know. I'm trying to recall. He was no more a fly-by-night disruptor than half a dozen other Willardians who signed up this year to shill for Myth.

To the pinglist: what was the screenname of the poster banned for the "pole dancer" picture posts?
