heh..as he's tokin on the cigar..:-)
It all started on Drudge. Go there and scroll down a bit on the left- you’ll see Moore challenges Thompson to debate...
Having worked in DC for many years, this won't be her first time at the rodeo, either. It will be interesting to see how the Democrats treat her during a campaign, especially if Hillary is the candidate.
One more reason I want Fred to run..RUN, FRED, RUN. Common sense is something that is so missing in Foggy Bottom.
Sorry, a bit behind on this, but was Fred responding to something in particular aimed at him from Moore? And if so, what was that?
Again, my apologies if this has been asked and answered on this thread.
It’s totally worth the hassle just to see it (although I’ll be surprised if it isn’t playing on Fox and even CNN over the next couple of days).
The way Fred is orchestrating this campaign shows real leadership!
It wasn't meant to be.
It was just a dig at the RNC, not you. I was acknowledging your link to the Fred Thompson site.
If I intend to insult you, I won't be subtle about it.
And if that’s not enough...there’s this:
Fred Thompson

Is that really Fred Thompson? That’s not a look-alike?
Amen! Finally a conservative with balls! if he runs he has my vote too!
Sending small amounts now ahead of formally announcing is real important. It signals there is real grass roots support out here.
Grass roots support is a very powerful resource. And a few dollars now speaks volumes.
Everyday when FDT’s friends look at the small donations and more importantly their attached messages, when they see those messages and donations coming from all over the country, from every quarter, it gives them lots of leverage, lots.
Fred’s gonna unite a whole bunch of people.
If you really want to help elect FDT, you should get a real primer in how elections are run and how they can be stolen. Hillary and company are going to do their damnest to steal 2008.
To learn on the internet how to fight for clean honest elections, take a lesson from a master, Stefan Sharkansky. Read his blog and its archive a little every night and then start studying your local county and state election procedures. Within six months you will be an expert and your services will be in hot demand.
Here’s Stefan’s website:

I was immediately worried that if I pressed PLAY and he had a pathetic and hollow response, it might ruin my entire day.(Repubs viewed as whimpering dogs etc.) Imagine my complete joy when I watched this, thus making my day much livelier than when I arrived at work. This is all M.M. is worth, the comments on this classically Pithy Video. Still LOL.
bump!
Ok, perhaps I overreacted. But please do give a few dollars to fred08.com, even $10-$15 and more importantly attach a message of support.
BTW I can’t stop shaking my head at how Martinez got picked to head the RNC. So I understand your sentiment there. W has had some real problems with making correct decisions during his 2nd term.
My hope is that FDT will get a GOP Congress like we got for W but FDT will follow through with some real reforms.
Oh my gosh! We the people need this man to lead US against enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.
I made sure to send a note in with my donation saying I'm ready and willing to send more as soon as he announces, but that his response to Michael Moore was so good I felt I HAD to give something now.
Opps, almost forgot you......
my bad
