The fact is Fred has not connected with the press. That is not a bad thing. McCain was the press’s favorite Republican in 2000 but that did not cut the mustard with the Republicans voting in primaries. Now Rudy is the press’s favorite Republican including the MSM whores at the Fox News Channel. Fred does not have the insatiable willingness to please, and when he can’t please spin like a top that Guiliani or Romney has. Because Fred is not flapping his gums every waking minute of the day that is offered up as laziness by the media . The media would have us believe that the opinion polls that they control are the only polls that count. Well, maybe Fred understands the polls that count right now are called primaries and Fred trusts each voter to vote his own mind. I used to like sports but all the endless stupid hype that precedes the games really turns me off. And that hype is nothing compared to the way the stupid media covers politics before even one vote has been cast in a primary. Fred hasn’t been kissing any rings worn by MSM poohbahs, whether that matters will be determined when the real polling starts and real people vote.
"The Beltway" doesn't get it for a number of reasons: (1)Thompson didn't enter when they thought he should; (2)Thompson didn't confer with nor cultivate them first; (3)He's not "one of them," (doesn't live there, go to their parties, vacation where they do, etc.)
The Beltway crowd prefer to think of themselves as king-makers and Thompson's not played by their rules.
I say these things NOT because I'm a "Fred head" but I do find his candidacy interesting.
This is the same bitter, childish garbage she posts on every Fred thread.
Just ignore, her comments are worthless!
Fred bump.
Considering this is now the third variation on this I've seen, this must be the latest Hunter tactic -- tear down Fred by claiming that he's just parroting Hunter.
I'm not sure what y'all hope to accomplish by this.
Amen to that!
And not just to the blue bits.
Rudy being a frontrunner is an embarrassment to the national republican party, the guy is Dem Lite.
So far I have been ruling OUT candidates, Rudy is OUt and McLame is OUT among the so-called frontrunners.
Oh really? Are you a personal friend, or just on the defensive?
Bitter? Hardly. Just convinced that Duncan Hunter is the best an for the job, and that it is vitally important that he gets it.
Perhaps one of you can give me three things that FDT accomplished during his stint as Senator that give him the credentials for the top office in the land.
A friend sent this “Pick A Candidate” questionnaire. I would have included more questions and answer choices, but found it to be a pretty good questionnaire. You just have to pick the answer closest to your opinion on the various issues, and it ranks the candidates on how they agree with your answer choices. Don’t mind sharing I came out Hunter, Thompson on top. I do love Hunter, but believe Thompson has a better chance of winning against Hillary. We just have to see how things progress as we get closer to the election for the nomination. :)

Just stating the facts. I’ve know about Fred, and his views, for a long time. Even before he was on “Law and Order”. ;o)
Good. Then you should be the perfect person to tell me three things FDT accomplished during his stint in the Senate that give him the credentials for the top office in the land.
Hunter isn’t the leader/executive type but rather a more hands on dedicated fixer, nuts and bolts type. In that role he’s been superb.
Of course, none of that will be sufficient for you, but I didn't expect it to be, because he's not your candidate. ;o)
>Hunter isn’t the leader/executive type but rather a more hands on fixer, nuts and bolts type. In that role he has been superb.<
Well, I believe that Rep Hunter IS the leader, executive type who is the fixer, nuts and bolts type that we need in a CIC today. He demands respect, has the vision to note the trends and do something about them. He doesn’t play a role, but has been highly successful in all his endeavors so far, and will be exactly that as president.
Thank you, Suzi. At least you tried, and that’s more than anyone else has done. I, too, appreciate anyone who strives to reduce the size of the Federal government.
Well, I believe
Tell me why others can bring the populace to their campaigns but Hunter can’t? If you can figure that out then maybe just maybe it isn’t too late for Hunter. Some people are destined or have that unique ability to atract people to their endeavors where others are basically follows or the nut and bolt types.
