For the first time, Fred Thompson has taken the lead in the GOP 2008 Presidential Nomination Futures Market.

FYI...many of the WA'ers are folks that we all talked to for years before they were summarily banned. The gnashing of teeth took place here, not there.

You seem to think that all WA'ers are Rudy supporters, which they're not. Many are Fred supporters, but that didn't occur to you, apparently.

Probably because you were too busy taking a cheapshot at folks that aren't here to defend themselves.

You really should be ashamed.

Thanks! I've been waiting for a chance to use it. :)

You're welcome to use it if you'd like. :)

Who are all these Fred suppoters who’ve gone over to WA?? I know one, Howlin, who is over there.

[Politicalmom]

Actually, I am referring to several of them who were virulently anti-Fred, who said he was a “stalking horse” and would never run. Maybe you should get some facts before you go nuts. I don’t feel the least bit “ashamed”. Most of them opused or cursed out Jim until they got banned. Besides, they bash FR on their “super secret” thread all the time.

[tubebender]

Howlin, who is over there.

That's the best news I've heard since Fred showed up on the scene...

[Jedidah]

Me, too. ;-)

[Petronski]

I watched this trend all day, because I could NOT believe reliable promises that Fred would never run seemed to be falling by the wayside.

I was given VERY specific assurances, you know...

[dixiechick2000]

That is so generous of you, jellybean.

Thank you!

[sofaman]

you really do need to grow up...take a look at the statements made around here to describe everyone from Pres Bush to Rudy to the person that you have chatted with since Sept 17, 2001.

As for going nuts, you may want to read my post again. It seems that you have a tiny bit of a comprehension problem.

My point is that trashing folks that can't defend themselves is cowardly. The fact that you don't feel any shame about that, doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

And, of course, a "super secret" thread? ROFL... paranoia isn't any fun, is it? The characterization is not only laughable, but juvenile.

Remember they were the folks that got the boot. You sound upset that they didn't simply curl up into a fetal position because they had nowhere to go. They were no longer welcome at FR, so they founded an alternate site. Besides you're still here, trashing them.

Frankly, I think that the whole episode is tragic. We've lost some terrific people and some very good FRiends.

And lastly, your children are just beautiful.

[sofaman]

I won’t address this any further.

[dixiechick2000]

FWIW, there weren’t that many who were banned outright.
Many of the banned folks asked to have their accounts deleted.

In fact, a lot of the folks there are still able to post here.

Some do...

...but most choose not to.

" a "super secret" thread? "

What is Salt River, and why is there a thread entitled FR?

[sand88]

It’s all the WAers’ teeth grinding in unison.,

forgive me for asking, but I am not up on all the terms here. What is "WAers"? Thank you.

[Plutarch]

I like Fred a lot, but he’s gonna need real votes from real voters in real polling places, not some gambler’s game.

Okay, go out and beat the spread or beat the market in something, and then get back to us about how this doesn't mean anything.

Wow!
You are SO right, sofaman.

They are adorable!

[Petronski]

Thanks Grampa.

No one here knew that.

What is Salt River and why is there a thread entitled FR?? I've only been over there once to look around. It looked pretty boring.

Summarily banned?

Please.

[Politicalmom]

Thanks. :)
