In an obvious effort to diminish Huck, Fred gets off a line he wants Iowans to chew on in the weeks ahead:
Citing a face-off with America's enemies, Thompson asks: "Who do you want sitting on our side representing you?
"That ought to be who you elect president."
Then, in an attempt to put his foot down on debate silliness, he refused to play along on the raise-your-hand-if line of questioning on global warming.
"Im not doing handshows today," Thompson said to applause.
Not offered a full minute to respond, Thompson said, "Well, then I'm not going to answer it."
Power to the People!
Fred debate ping!
Just another dog and pony show...

Can you add me to this ping list. Thanks.
Welcome Aboard!!
(Another one for the list, Jellybean!!)
it doesn’t matter what Fred does he will be portrayed as walking for the GOP nomination and ‘his heart isn’t in it’. Its in the media file and they will use it no matter how wrong it is. Like the Jena 6 and everything else.
Is there a rebroadcast that you know of? I’m holed up at work.
Tonight on c-span 930 est
Not offered a full minute to respond, Thompson said, "Well, then I'm not going to answer it."
FRed did fine. I especially liked his assault on the failed education system controlled by “unions and the NEA”....calling it as it IS!
Iowan’s may surprise the MSM and all the DNC-controlled pundits who are sworn to ignore the REAL threat to a Hildabeast win (FRed and Duncan Hunter).
Frank Luntz just took a moment to point out this exchange as “that moment” that we all remember. It was very popular with his focus group, and he added that “some in the group applauded even though they weren’t live in Iowa.”
It’s going to resonate.
Welcome!
Fred will be on Hanitty’s radio show sometime this hour...
Wanted to let everyone know that Fred’s response to not doing hand shows and not answering if he doesn’t get a minute made the headline story of our local radio news break. Fred was characterized as “leading a Republican revolt on stage” and “coming to life”. Need lots more of this.
Thank you!
Could you ping or FReepmail the list and remind everybody that there’s a new FR poll up?

Go Fred!
People are starving to hear this stuff!
