Romney is turning out to be White Noise like so many of the other pols.

Ft has supported the idea of keeping Government out of your lives.

[unspun]

So Romney is going to ban abortion? Is he going to hand it over to the states? Is he going to over turn Roe vs. Wade? What is Romney going to do? Do you have any qoutes as to what Romney now feels about abortion?

Romney has taken the same approach as Thompson -- leave it to the states -- which I don't appreciate, either.

Romney's vital signs are clearly stronger, however.

Well, that was a non-answer answer if there ever was one. Nothing to see here, folks.

I never said I was foursquare sold-out for Mitt Romney, bcsco. I'm warning that neither should we be for gentlemen Fred.

It's not time for wholesale enthusiasm in any of the candidates we see before us -- especially in a candidate who has shown very little enthusiasm, himself.

We've had an apparently naive President for two terms; let's all be grown up, now.

[bcsco]

Who said we're foursquare for anyone, as far as the election goes? Who?

I'm for Fred Thompson at this point, even though he hasn't declared. I'm not afraid to announce that. If you don't like it, or you don't think it's prudent, fine.

Yet that doesn't mean I'll fold my hand come election should Fred Thompson NOT be the nominee. But that's how you're coming across.

You, however, won't even answer a simply put, clear question. Actually Two: 1) Will you vote for Fred Thompson should he become the Republican Presidential nominee? 2) Will you vote for Mitt Romney, knowing he's stated pro-choice opinions, should he become the Republican Presidential nominee? The answer please; yes or no on each. No ambiguity, no spin.

Oh, and President Bush has NOT been naive. He's been too silent on issues, hasn't gotten out in front of issues, hasn't been as strong as I like on issues; such as immigration, a winner-takes-all approach to the WOT; Iraq especially, taking the DIMocrats to task on security, TAKING THE DIMOCRATS TO COURT FOR TREASON. But he hasn't been naive.

Don't give me this garbage about 'let's be grown up now'. Don't even think about patronizing me. You don't have what it takes, buddy. If you want to show how grown up you are, don't waffle, don't hesitate, tell us what you think. Answer questions FORTHRIGHTLY, with conviction and sincerity.

I await your reply to the two questions proposed (again) above. Get them behind you.

[unspun]

What do you think?

I've addressed what I've been asked, until now. But your approach is more of an attack than I'd care to bother with. Happy Mother's Day.

great spin................or at least a nice try!

What spin? That I think it's irrational to go headlong into support of Fred Thompson at this time? He hasn't even shown himself as a credible candidate yet.

[Teacher317]

He hasn't even shown himself as a credible candidate yet.

Psst... he just won a poll without declaring, spending a dollar, or making a speech... againts a group of dolts who have already spent big and used up most of their momentum already. Seems like that's pretty "credible" to me.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Or desperate jumping off a sinking ship the SS Rutitanic.


Once Fred Thompson enters the race the momentum will just get larger for Fred Thompson.
There are many people sitting on the sidelines with their check books waiting for Fred to enter, and once he enters there is going to be a ground swell of support that will put the 3 stooges in the dust.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

” The truth, as so many have pointed out by now, is that Fred is most definitely a conservative. GO FRED! “ ... and out best chance to beat Hillary and he is electable.
