Yeah, someone else picked my screen name for me.

Actually that sometimes happens. I was originally called (repeatedly) "Ostrich Boy" by the anti-gun poster Cazart on the old Salon board. I liked that name so much, I bought it and gave it a slight makeover. True story.

Fredheads should avoid the word "charisma" at all costs. Where charisma is concerned, Fred is a black hole.

BWHAHAHAHA!!! Is that why he's dated some of the hottest women on the planet, and married somebody who will be the hottest First Lady in history? Nice try, n00b.

Ah, yes. Failure to join the Fredhead parade makes one fair game for cheap shots. Classy.

Many political parties adopted the negative names their detractors stuck them with, and it worked out quite well. The Whigs and Torries are two examples of this. Both names were originally negative terms: whiggamor is a Scottish Gaelic word for a cattle or horse driver, while tory is an Irish word for an outlaw. (This is from Wikipedia, which I know is unreliable, but I recall reading the same thing in Churchill's History of the English-Speaking Peoples.)

No, posting nonsensical idiocy makes one fair game for cheap shots.

LOL, yeah, because some n00b with an axe to grind posting nonsense makes a thread so exciting!

Ronald Reagan said he left the entertainment world for politics because he wanted to protect something precious. Well the office of President is something precious and the respect for it should be preserved. The President once again needs to be “Our President”, weather you voted for him or not. Out of all the potential presidential candidates, Fred Thompson is the one that can unite us and move us forward to better things.

In President Reagan’s Farewell Address he said, “I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things.” Fred Thompson is a communicator of great things and I am honored to be behind him.

This Vet is 4Fred

Well, you yourself came on this thread and posted an insult that has nothing to do with issues, candidate platforms or positions.

In my mind, that makes you a detractor with an agenda, nothing to actually add to a discussion....and fair game.

Let's see...Fred's "charisma" was being trumpeted.

I don't think he has any charisma and, rather irreverently, said that he was a charisma "black hole." That is all I said to stir a hornet's nest of Fredheads.

In my mind, that makes you a detractor with an agenda, nothing to actually add to a discussion....and fair game.

Andy you -- with your tagline, "PUT AMERICA AHEAD! VOTE FOR FRED!!)" accuse ME of having an agenda. What color is the sky in your world?

I am so far unimpressed by Fred but have remained open to him in a choice among less than satisfactory candidates.

But I am getting a very nasty taste in my mouth regarding Fred, and it really is rather unfair to Fred to feel this way. In reality, I know that Fred has nothing to do with launching a cadre of self-appointed zealots who patrol Fred threads and attack anyone not joining their chorus of praise to Fred.

Unfortunately, most candidates seem to attract this sort support from pajama political players. Not really Fred's fault.

Obviously I don’t hide my preference. But neither do I go onto other candidates thread and post crap. You however, do. Nor do you have the balls to state who you ARE for. What are you about 14?

I stick by my original assessment of you, your post and your intentions. Actually, allow me to add “whiney” to that list.

And you are still fair game.

Oh, cry me a river. God some people are thin skinned. YOU came on a Fred thread and posted a rather snarky comment. I posted one in return, you’ve been whining about it incessantly for a day and a half. “WHAAA, WHAAA, WHAAA, he called me a n00b! My fragile emotions are shattered!” You are a n00b, and why you’re so offended at being called one is beyond me. It’s not an insult unless you want to be insulted. Deal with it.

I did not post to you...I answered another Fredhead who felt the need to join in with insulting remarks pertaining to my balls, etc.

Why don't you just shut your mouth if you dont want to exchange posts with me? I assure you that I will not bother you. It has been about 24 hours since we had a little exchange. Why are you posting to me and trying to start up again? Rhetorical question... no need to answer...just crawl back in your hole.

Good wordplay in that makeover.
