Feel free to vote for Mc Pain in the arse.
Doesn’t like tax cuts.
Now, wants to build a fence and then give illegals AMNESTY.
He’s a soclal liberal ... and on and on it goes.
McPain in the arse disgusts me and I can’t imagine ANY devcent human veing, let alone a conservative vote for the cretin in good conscience.
We’re voting for Mitt!!!
Let the LIBERAL rags endorse McPain - NYT, Boston Globe ... I could care less. He’s a LIBERAL.
I really don’t like what that says about the electorate.”
It speaks worse about who’s running.
I had plans of voting for Fred. Half the time he looked like he was napping. I have to hand it to him, he’s almost the WORST public speaker I’ve ever seen. The content was good when he did chose to speak but other than that, he was a HUGE disappointment.
Early on, while he was making up his mind wheather to run or not he made his plans clear.
On Fox and other venues, he stated that he would put his ideas and thoughts out there and if the American voter agreed, he would run with all his might. After the first few caucuses and other areas that gave vent to the voter’s preferences, he didn’t catch on. His only conclusion … the majority of American voters didn’t like what he had to say! So, he has gone fish’n, just like he said he would if rejected.
He didn’t run out of money. I’m voting for Fred because the others are just a degree different. McCain has the most substance of all of them but I’m not sure if the substance is fertilizer or not. Mitt and Huckabee are horribly devoid of substance so I suppose they are shitless. I just hope for a split vote.
FRED THOMPSON (dropped out)
Total receipts to date: (includes contributions for the primary and general elections, loans and transfers) $21.8 million, including $158,163.00 for the general election
Total contributions to date: $21.7 million
Total spending: $19.7 million
Fourth quarter contributions: $8.9 million
Fourth quarter spending: $14 million
Fourth excursion transfers or loans: None
Cash on hand: $2.1 million
Debt: $404,221.35
That’s very childish.
It’s up to every politician to SELL his message.
Perhaps it’s for the best that he withdrew. You can’t run a country with shall we say, such a delicate personality.
If everyone just voted for the true conservative, Duncan Hunter, instead of saying he doesn’t stand a chance, we wouldn’t be in this sad predicament!!!!
Yeah but those early primary crossover democrats and independents didn’t know much about him.
LOL! Ok ... !
Yup, bump that. Fred stole all the oxygen out of the room and did nothing with it. Thanks for nuthin’, Fred.
I really don’t like what that says about the electorate.
***McCain and Romney are vying for the republican nomination. I really don’t like what that says about the electorate.
Some of us suspect that the electorate has been manipulated. I really don’t like what that says about the electorate and the manipulators, which would be the MSM and the RINOs.
They ought to clean out every desk and those people attached to them at the RNC in DC as well.
What is the responsibility of the ELECTORATE? huh? To sit on their asses and wait “somebody” to “do something!”? It’s not the politicians, it’s the damn so-called people. Fred didn’t sell his message? What the H*** is Obama selling? a dream, a fantasy, social equality? If the “people” would think for a second and stop looking for the quick lazy fix, then they could really ask the candidates deep questions. Instead, the “masses” expect that when Obama gets in, they can stick it to the “white man” and live on easy street. Who’s being childish?
“Half the time he looked like he was napping”
Are you saying he was lying down? His eyes were closed?
As you can see, your criticism of Thompson has no substance. I can only conclude you are not being honest.
“Yup, bump that. Fred stole all the oxygen out of the room and did nothing with it.”
I spoke with hundreds of SC voters who really liked Thompson, in fact they liked his politics better than any other candidate’s, but voted for Huckabee or McCain. They thought Thompson couldn’t win.
Only because they believed the empty media propaganda. Idiots like Krauthammer and Kristol repeated it for months.
So who does thrill you?
Fred who?
Unfortunately, Fred wanted to be anointed. He didn’t want to sell anything. He wanted others to guess at what he wanted as his vision. People were uninspired. He fizzled out.
The last debate he was in, he FINALLY CAME ALIVE!!!
I was thrilled for him. I hoped he might COME ALIVE again but no, he withdrew. It’s better than he withdrew. Nice guy, good message but “no fire in the belly”. I had wanted to vote for him too - very disappointing.
“The content was good when he did chose to speak but other than that, he was a HUGE disappointment.”
I’ll be direct. Your assessment is retarded.
The content of Thompson’s speeches was there, but you say he was a disappointment because he didn’t lie, appease, flipflop or put on some kind of theatrical perfomance? Because he was the only candidate acting like a man?
You: I’ll be direct. Your assessment is retarded.
Me: I must be direct as well. You’re very immature and not wanting to face reality.
You: The content of Thompson’s speeches was there, but you say he was a disappointment because he didn’t lie, appease, flipflop or put on some kind of theatrical performance? Because he was the only candidate acting like a man?
Me: I stated, if you could get a grip on yourself ... I stated his content was good but he didn’t SELL his message. That’s part of politics. I couldn’t tell you if he lied, flip=flopped or appeased. I didn’t check that closely up on him because he didn’t last very long.
Speaking if his “performance” it was a atrocious. I’m not a Law and Order fan so I hadn’t seen him “perform: before but I have to sat he is one of the WORST public speakers I have even been forced to endure. He mumbled. He looked down. He looked DSEFEATED. He looked TIRED. No, I don’t call that acting like a LEADER. It’s best Fred did withdraw.
You can whine about it forever but it won’t change the fact that the “reluctant” candidate, simply didn’t have what it takes to deliver his message and get folks on board and WIN. So, go ahead, have your tantrum. Fred was a disappointment. He didn’t get his wish to do nothing and be anointed. You need to get over yourself and Fred.
