My problem with Mitt goes back to his Father, he running the same type of campaign, he has nothing to offer to the Right, what did he do in Mass, nothing, he supported some candidates for the General Court and they all got beat.
He then lost interest, he didn't support Muffy, he didn't support the Republicans after 2004. He is more interested in Utah politics than his base in Mass, money, I am from Utah.
If he had been more confrontational with the rats I wouldn't be supporting FRED.

Hey Bill...long time no Freep.
While I do not “support” Romney (or any other candidate at this early time, for that matter) and am “leaning” towards Hunter right now (but will select my preferred candidate in the Fall), there are 2 automatic strikes from my candidate list.
The one who introduced the bill in the Senate that resulted in the theft of 1A rights by imposing free-speech blackout periods on the People.....John Mccain.
The one that cosponsored the bill introduced in the Senate that resulted in the theft of 1A rights by imposing free-speech blackout periods on the People.....Fred Thompson.
That one act is the only thing I’ve got against Fred as it showed me that those 2 men either didn’t read/comprehend the bill they were writing/introducing/cosponsoring....showing incompetence or at least the willingness to “go along” with a bill that feeeeeeels good despite it’s 1A infringing text.
....or they did read and comprehend that bill and thusly have no respect for Constitutional rights and are at least are willing to infringe upon them.
How could I ever vote for or trust someone with such a lack of respect for the Constitution....to take an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”?
I know I took and still take MY oath seriously and I expect those who want my vote to do the same.
“I, ElectricStrawberry, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.....”
Hunter would be good, Tancrado also OK, McLame bad, FRed good, to me anyway, Rudy lame. I understand the Oath but compliance depends on the people screaming. As for FReepin' Race and and I are going down to DC on 9/15.
