Loser 9/10 issues. Sounds like the effect of throwing off his younger supporters for the old guard. If he mentions anything about “privatization” of social security he’s finished.

Did you forget a sarc tag? I ask in all seriousness.

yep, your right, i’m just a moonbat. Why don’t you enlighten me on just exactly what the CFR is and it’s plan for the betterment of the United States? I’m open-minded, give me an education on your understanding.

“Did you forget a sarc tag? I ask in all seriousness.”

Nope.

Did you forget what happened to Bush when he pressed privatization?

Today is the 10th Anniversary of the Death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Maybe this is a good sign that it is today that he chose to announce.

Maybe he will be instrumental in saving a number of lives -- unborn babies that were so dear to Mother Teresa...

Yup, and ditto for Jack Paar, too. I miss Letterman’s NBC show, before he turned into left-wing Hillary-butt-kissing, Bush-bashing a$$hole on C-BS.

I don’t think President Bush explained it well enough. I know a lot of people that are concerned about this issue.

Every town has a few houses where the townsfolk in general think of the occupants as crazy people. Although I do not know who I will support I have noticed Ron Paul signs in a few of these yards. They are the only signs for a Presidential candidate in this town that have gone up this early. ‘Nuff said.

I don’t know if anyone noticed but Fred hasn’t looking very healthy lately. He looks like he’s lost weight and very pale.

Let’s see here, membership in the CFR has included Ronald Reagan, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney,and Newt Gingrich to name a few. Yep, Fred should NEVER associate with liberals like those. /s

I agree regarding Jack Parr but Letterman has never really stirred my interest. He is just tooo full of himself. Conan is another one that I thought might be good but he even fails. He is just too childish and silly.

Bush is a miserable, pathetic communicator. Fred is not.

I talked about Fred with my couzin. One who doesn't pay a lot of attention to politics, but is a reasonably smart guy for being related to me.

He likes Fred from Law and Order.

Fred is the only guy (including Hillary) he would vote for.

And when I explained Fred's voting against the federal .08 DUI standard, he liked it. He remembers what the 10th Amendment means.

Yeah, that's one data point. But elections are won one voter at a time.

Bringing more attention to Fred doesn’t sound like a good plan to me. Maybe they just can’t help it. :p

“I don’t think President Bush explained it well enough.”

He doesn’t explain much well - that’s not just me, Romney’s said that too. Then he takes responsibility for Katrina, which wasn’t his fault.

“I know a lot of people that are concerned about this issue.”

It’s not an issue to win an election on. What people want to hear is “fighting corruption” “getting off oil/oil prices down” and firm comments and commitments on illegal immigration - though not browbeating on that issue. Again, that’s not me projecting my views. On Iraq people are troubled, they just want to win, or get it over with.

A_Tradition_Continues:

Are you a member of the CFR? Are you accredited somehow to be privy to all of their goings on? Are you a defender of the CFR?

I take it that we have come to the place that “conservative” does not include national sovereignty, national borders, or openness as to the global/international intents of our leaders. Too much is going on in secret involving globally powerful we did not elect to represent us, influencing people we did.

Only a handful of Mitt supporters who have been spewing it ad-nauseum for the last 3 weeks, it seems.
