“I hope Fred Thompson understands this one thing... nobody likes a tease.”

Yeah, I think he’s dragged it out about a month too long. But people are fickle and will soon forget.

The strategy of avoiding the early, multi-candidate popularity contests, I think they called them “debtates” was excellent, IMO.

I have absolutely no problem with Fred waiting it out...plu, I believe that there were some hollyweird obligations on his part for doing so.

As an added bonus, he avoided the idiocy of ROOTY the RINO vs. that suspicious MORMON guy vs. the crazed right-wing ANTI-IMMIGRATION CLOSE-THE-BORDER guy.

I hope he has the sack to call out these dems for their "indescretions", especially hillary's most recent finance donation fiasco, and hopefully go directly for the throat, just like they do.

No, no one likes a tease.

And no conservative likes a liberal posing as a conservative which most of our candidates are doing.

I’ll admit I’m tired of the stories of he’ll annnounce....today, tomorrow, next week etc. I think part of that is his campaign’s fault, or at least some of the staffer’s on that campaign floating dates. I think part of it is the media (conservative and liberal) hearing a rumor and jumping on it without substantiating it. No matter either way, it’s result is that people are tired of the wait.

In the end it comes down to this. Shun him for the campaign being a tease, or support a conservative that has a shot at taking out Rudy and the Dem nominee. That is IF you believe he’s a conservative. Me? I can forgive the tease in exchange for a legit conservative frontrunner.

I’m leaning toward Thompson being that individual, still want to see him against the others in debates and parrying back and forth. Only because IF you are a liberal those types of settings will expose you. Though his writings have made a good impression so far.

The guy’s a moron with HUGE EGO. WHO CARES when he announces?? These are not the traits of a leader - they’re the traits of a man with a HUGE EGO. Enough already!

But, as he says, I’ve saved over $50 million so far!
