Hey Fred heads, this Mittster guy has a challenge for you.

Go to his website and let him have it. Oh, and post em here too.

Good luck.

[pissant]

Here’s your chance to shine. Mitt has tossed down the gauntlet.

How is Fred superior? First and foremost, he hasn’t jumped into the race before the real race has even started. McCain is out of money and and the other GOP candidates have stated and defended their positions so many times that they have already lost the interest of voters. Just because the main Democrats have decided to start beating each other up 9 months before the campaigns should even begin, doesn’t mean the GOP needed to follow them by doing the same thing. Real GOP leaders don’t follow Democrats. Fred is generating interest just by showing he’s interested. Fred is a Leader, not a follower.

An exercise in futility. Your asking Fred Thompson supporters to justify their support on the theory if they can’t point to some subjective reason they should not be supporting him. Lets come from the other direction Mitt Romney has pretty much the same qualifications as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. What should we make of that? Nothing of course. Fred Thompson strikes me as a leader and brings conservative credentials that are more solid than the other candidates. I have nothing negative to say about Mitt Romney and would vote for him if he is nominated but he’s been on the campaign trail from the get go and is still a distant third.

[pissant]

SO your answer is he’s running a smart campaign strategy?

[pissant]

Conservative credentials as in voting record? Anything stand out in terms of accomplishments?

He’s a former congressman and Senator and has shown that he is not interested in being a career politician. He’s has shown the ability to run successful campaigns. More than that he has an ability to garner support for his objectives. Fred Thompson is a natural leader in the mold of Ronald Reagan, don’t get me wrong he’s no Ronald Reagan at this point but at this stage we did not know Ronald Reagan was a Ronald Reagan. I believe Fred Thompson has the potential to be Reaganesuqe I simply do not believe Mitt Romney does.

[xsmommy]

he is the most conservative candidate who is ELECTABLE. but you knew that : )

[pissant]

Fair enough.

[Dixie Yooper]

The GOP National Convention is more than 12 months away. Fred hasn't even started to campaign. I guess you might call it his "John Paul Jones Strategy", or in other words, "Hey Duncan! "I have not yet begun to fight!"

[pissant]

If Duncan had a TV hit series, he could have waited too.

[pissant]

I may have known you’d say that, but I don’t buy it. LOL

[xsmommy]

of course you don’t. but you will, eventually.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Yeah, Mittant and pissant say jump and everyone should just say ‘How high?’

Not interested. I don’t give a toss how Mitt or his minions think we are supposed to justify our support for another candidate. The fact that they’re even asking indicates a desperation that would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic.

Mitt better be careful throwing those gauntlets. He might mess up his pretty hair.

[ontap]

Having a hit TV series is a plus. It’s all about name recognition. Electability is perhaps is the the most important characteristic of all.

[pissant]

I don’t think so. But it sure has been fun flipping fredheads to duncanistas. :o)

[counterpunch]

Conservative credentials as in voting record? Anything stand out in terms of accomplishments?

Yes. He has none.
And for a man who spent 8 years in the Senate, that is quite an accomplishment.

I think Fred Thompson was the kind of Senator we all wish we had more of.
Ones who don't go mucking up America with more bad and unnecessary laws.
 

[pissant]

Or his Bain De Soleil tan?

Mitt better be careful throwing those gauntlets. He might mess up his pretty hair.

[xsmommy]

he has no chance, if he did, i would be right there with ya.
