Fred dropped that ball not Joe-6-Pack. Fred was the man for 2008, or would you have preferred Mac.
I totally put the blame 100 percent in Fred’s hands but that does not excuse the cheerleading that occured when it was not justified. He looked and acted like a dufus. Had he been serious about running than we would not have had to worry about Johnny boy.
Thompson, McCain, and Palin all have the exact same Gerald R. Ford Republican position on abortion. In other words, they're pro-choice for states, contrary to the Reagan pro-life plank in the GOP platform, and in violation of the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Those of us who use those principles as the plumb line - not personality, or political expediency, or political calculation - haven't fallen into the trap of supporting any of the three.
