The Fred Thompson Meltdown Continues

As more and more of his potential supporters learn about Fred Thompson's choice of open borders advocate and pro-Islamist ex-senator and lobbyist Spencer Abraham as his campaign manager, Thompson's luster as th egreat GOP savior has begun to dim precipitously.

Latest to weigh in are Dymphna at Gates of Vienna, Elaine at Aaron's Rod ( who removed all the Blogs For Fred links to her site) and Deb at Right Truth.

And Michelle Malkin also did a short bit with Laura Ingraham on her national show.

As I said in my piece, no one who's serious about winning the War Against Jihad would want a tool like Abraham anywhere near him.Either Thompson was ignorant about Abraham's background, which means he lacks the judgment to be president, or he knew about it and appointed Abraham anyway...which means that no one who's serious about fighting this war or controlling the borders should remotely consider supporting him.

I think we're done with stealth candidates who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

I have no idea why you posted that. Who said PACs are bad?
Ohhhhh...who's tapdancing now? Don't make up a question. Answer the one she posted.

[commonguymd]

On board the Fred Train here. All this nonsense is just part of the process of Fred going to the top of the polls. Sour Grapes.

...straight from the horse's mouth instead of the other end.

If you mention pissant, you should ping him.

if you don’t answer this, you can’t expect to have any credibility. face that fact.

“But to the Fredheads its blasphemy.”

Not blasphemy, merely irrelevant. Has has been pointed out before, Abraham has not been appointed to a post where he has any influence over foreign policy.

“Well, count Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin and Debbie Schlussel as blasphemous then.”

I think that they are making a lot of noise about nothing, but that is their right.

[Clara Lou]

I direct you to post #31 on the same thread, by Jim Rob, where he posts Debbie Schlussel’s item stating that she’s a Rootie fan. Imagine a Rootie fan bashing the Thompson camp.

[MinuteGal]

Thanks for the link on this issue with info straight from the horse's mouth instead of the other end.

GO FRED !

“disillusioned conservatives”

True Conservatives shouldn’t be disillutioned.

Republicans.......that’s another story.

Countryclub anyone?

[Petronski]

Just one more way pissant is the new areafiftyone.

[Clara Lou]

I might say liar liar and get the vapors.
Well, why not--you slime yourself and your candidate regularly with your attempted slimes of Fred Thompson.

Here's a link to a thread last week where MeanWestTexan had some pretty good information on CFR (Council on Foreign Relations): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1871740/posts?page=139#139.

MeanWestTexan is apparently a former member.

It's interesting that there's so much disinformation around FR on this issue. People think it's EEEEVIL, yet have no clue as to what's involved. Simply mind boggling, IMHO. I thought conservatives were smarter than this.

Who, who, and who?

[Petronski]

Three people with better name recognition than Duncan Hunter.

[Clara Lou]

Well, he’s desperate. His last Hunter thread this afternoon died after 8 posts. I guess all of those Thompson fans he flipped forgot to give a rip about Mr. Hunter’s latest. [NOTE: No disrespect to Hunter—just to his minion.]

[r9etb]

It’s like a damned owl convention.... whowhowhowhooooooooo

[b9]

Now we are getting into the meat of the matter.

It seems so, doesn't it?

[pissant]

Hey, nothing wrong with having a Howard Baker/John McCain/Fred Thompson wing in the party. Just doen’t want them as a president.

This is not new. I ran into the same nonsense back in the 1980’s during the cold war. Some solid conservatives were accused of having pro-communist sympathies merely because of membership in the group.

[wolfcreek]

It’s just more of the *countryclub* crowd that has evolved into what we see today. (the one that got away from conservatism)

Well then, I sure don't want it to get out that I belong to Kiwanis. Shsssssh, don't tell anyone.
