Since his name was brought up and talked about, I’ve been doing background research. Books, government reports, the FRead threads. Time well spent. I’ve been getting more and more enthused about him the more I read. Plus, he looks like my father in law except he is taller. I have a lot of affection for my father in law so it made me more inclined to listen. I really like what I’ve read about him and what he has done. His resume is exhausting reading. His travel schedule is exhausting trying to keep up with everything he is doing. I figure as long as he [and I] keep busy working and preparing, we’ll be ready when he does declare. It will be worth the wait IMHO. I like hearing him speak because it brings back good memories, and what he talks about is important to me. I think he’s the best under consideration. I’ve looked at some others and just can’t get that interested in any of them. Some would be okay, others not okay. I really want to vote for Fred.
Got to keep busy, those who sit and wait are more likely to criticize others who are actually doing something. I’d rather be a doer than just looking idly.
Can’t argue with any of that. I just want him to get into the fight already.
This is the major distinction between '08, '00 and '04 (and even '96). The Dems threw Gore and Lurch at us and we had no choice but to vote for whoever ran against them. It was Mr. Compassionate.
This isn't going to happen this time around. Conservatives will now be voting "FOR" a candidate, rather than 'against' a Shillary. And they are screwed, and here's why: Affection toward a candidate is contagious. Those around you will note the sincerity that you exude toward Fred.
Nothing could be further from the truth surrounding Hillary. There's no affection. Only gamesmanship- first woman president. Novel, but not everlasting. And certainly nothing approaching what could be considered 'affection'.
