Glad I was wrong about Rooty. Hunter`s a good conservative, but like you said no chance at all. Romney is better than Rooty, but that ain’t saying much.

FWIW, Ronald Reagan announced he was running for Prez on November 13, 1979. You can wait for FredT.

Doesn't Tom Tancredo already drive a red pickup while campaigning?

Anyway, if Fred's numbers take off as expected, it will be kind of silly to have a little red pickup truck with Fred and two Secret Service agents in it and black SUVs with more security ahead of him and behind him as well as a caravan of campaign staff.

Buy a bus or two. Far more practical.

I’d have to look into that contractual thing, but if that isn’t the real issue I stand by what I said about him playing games. As someone else said “a series”, like it’s a frickin’ game.

We see the word folksy again in another article about Fred.

Apparently you don’t follow the Fread Threads. Mark this down, FDT will be talking issues starting next month that will make ALL canidates piss down their legs.

He is going to bring down the house on issues dogging this country.

I expect Fred to do the things people least expect, and run entirely contrary to the empty suits currently flailing about and stepping on their own _____’s (fill in the blank)

Fred’s good, but he ain’t Reagan. None of these candidates (or potential candidates) are even close.

I’m sick of the press who can’t figure out something important to write about so they keep coming around to this.

We have a long way to go until election day, I’m patient and an adult, I am content to wait until the right time. It is a wasted effort to get so upset about something like this. I’m not upset with Fred at all, he’s working hard, getting out and speaking and writing, and he isn’t in hiding.

Come on. Wasn’t comparing FredT or any of the candidates to Reagan, friend.

I was talking about the time factor. Reagan announced in mid-November, 11-13-1979. FredT`s got time. Be patient!

Cool your jets there, pardner. There were entirely valid reasons for not running pell-mell with the rest of the pack, one of which is to put together a well planned staff and campaign.

And that’s just ONE reason.

There is never going to be another Reagan. But Fred doesn’t need Reagan’s coattails, he can run on his own.

I said ‘series’ meaning anyone considering using the red truck. It will not happen.

Then why not just announce officially that he’s running? (Other than the contractual thing, if true)

Sorry. I’m a bit touchy when it comes to Reagan. He’s the only political figure I’ve seen in my lifetime that I could consider a hero.
