Regardless if Fred runs or not, he has provided a valuable service to us real conservatives by just being FRED and present in this political BS!!!
RUN FRED RUN!!!!!!!!
He has a site and he is trickling out more info by the week.
He is enticing us at this point but I havent seen the red meat, and we wont for a while if Im gauging this correctly.
He’s gonna let the other 10 show their hands first, or at least wait till they get painted in a corner.
RIGHT ON TARGET!
Fred’s acting is not much better than his political career which was horrible.
He voted for the mccain-fiendgold campaign reform act.
He bungled the Clinton china gate.
He voted not to impeach Clinton.
He endorsed John McCain and Lamar Alexander in the 2000 presidential bid.
He hires serpent-head’s wife as an advisor.
Plus he is a lawyer and plays one on tv.
Take it from my perspective.
I spent a year dodging mortar rounds behind the wire like a sitting duck, watching this country rip itself apart behind me.
Last year, I held my nose, closed my eyes, turned my head, winced and pulled the lever for the GOP - like so many others here. Only to be virtually spat upon by my own people.
And many people here will vote GOP again - and again - because there’s nowhere else to go.
I don’t trust Fred, or George, or Mitt, Rudy, Tom, Dick, Harry, Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Pluto, Minnie, or any of the others. I’m sick of the bait-and-switch all the time. They’ve lost me.
Your point?
I’ll let him stand on his record.
Cheap shot.
"He voted for the mccain-fiendgold campaign reform act."
And declared that it didn't work.
"He bungled the Clinton china gate."
Wrong.
"He voted not to impeach Clinton."
Wrong.
"He endorsed John McCain and Lamar Alexander in the 2000 presidential bid."
So did a lot of people. He's not endorsing the nut now, now is he ?
"He hires serpent-head’s wife as an advisor."
So what ?
"Plus he is a lawyer and plays one on tv."
Not anymore.
I understand that brother! But here is the rub...ya gotta pick one of them or someone else will do it for you.
Our system is slow and cumbersome and all the dirty laudry is out for all to see. But thats the way the founders intended things to work so that no one could sieze to much power.
Sadly most of our politicians are out for self gain, but if we hold their feet to the fire they do respond.
Im looking for the guy that holds true to our ideals and shows me he understands that he works for the people.
My point exactly. TY
He has been good for us conservatives at this specific time of need.
Oh yeah, and he is not running for senator. He voluntarily let that go. Not a career politicain.
Keep up the good work FRED and TY.
It’s no picnic. I wonder if Dubya has any clue just how much he’s ripping the party and nation apart over the shamnesty crap alone. I had differences with him, but was generally supportive, but if I were polled this week, I’d give him a “disapproval” thumbs-down.
When Fred makes it official, he’s going to have to run against him as an outsider and reformer. If he tries to run as a Dubyaite, he’ll lose (oh, he may cinch the nomination, but he’ll lose the general). As I told someone earlier today, picking a leader is like picking the most treatable malady. Go with the hangnail over a lip fungus, herpes, cancer, or AIDS.
For some reason I cannot get onto this website.
For years I have been trying to figure out why George pushed such things as no child left behind, the senior drug plan, and now this. I think I finally figured it out.
He is just a compassionate liberal from the old school of liberalism.
I just tried again and got right in.. Hmmmm.
I like it. I like it a lot!
Just tried again and Internet Explorer denied me access. Say’s perhaps I’m not connected to the internet (which seems absurd considering I’m posting this to you).
At this point Fred looks like the only outsider let alone, Reformer.
But lets not give him the wrong idea. I wont blindly support Fred just because the crowd likes what they hear. Heck at this point I havent heard enough, but I crave reform, We all do.
We are at a crossroads as a party. We DEMAND secure borders and we DEMAND less Government.
How can you increase the security on the borders without INCREASING government?
Well friends, we can do it by blurring the line between authority and the people.
Why dont we pitch in and lead the effort? after all we the people are the government. Lets get out there and patrol! what ever happened to the American spirit? The Civil Air patrol? The Minutemen?
Of course to do that you need LESS Government. Less GWB calling minutemen “vigilantes”
Less GWB calling illegal invaders “citizens” while demonizing people who want to protect the country.
Everyone wants the Gov to do everything and then gripes that we didnt have a choice in anything we do.

Cheap shot. (but true)
"He voted for the mccain-fiendgold campaign reform act."
And declared that it didn't work. (So he voted for it and it's law. We all knew it here was a bogus law when proposed. Why didn't he? I call that flip flopping)
"He bungled the Clinton china gate."
Wrong. (Nope, You are wrong)
"He voted not to impeach Clinton."
Wrong.(Sorry, You are wrong again)
"He endorsed John McCain and Lamar Alexander in the 2000 presidential bid."
So did a lot of people. He's not endorsing the nut now, now is he ? (He is the actor that's not running, well maybe, I don't know. he still might endorse mcnut or make him VP.)
"He hires serpent-head’s wife as an advisor."
So what ? (You are ok with that? Might as well appoint hillary to the NSA)
"Plus he is a lawyer and plays one on tv."
Not anymore. (So what, he worked for Disney, which happens to be the same company Rosie did)
(You don't seem to know much about the man)
“He has been good for us conservatives at this specific time of need.”
How? When 911 happened he said “Now is not the time for me to leave,” Then he changed his mind and went into full time acting and got a semi-hot wife. Such a noble cause at our time of need.
