Fred is our ONLY hope for getting back in control of the government. This is going to be the most contentious year in politics since Watergate with lies and mud slinging from the dems. There is going to be an all out assault from the MSM in lock step with the “move-on.org croud” with their darling Hillary. I think this is our last chance to save this country from defeating ourselves on every front.
I think you're right. The country is so sick of Bush and the war that the tide is in the dems' favor. The novelty of HRC or Obama is enough for some people to vote for either.
What could change this almost-inevitable situation is that HRC is, well, she's HRC. If she can get enough people to think "A return to the golden times that were the Clinton years!" enough morons will buy it to put her in office. If she keeps up with the useless healthcare proposals that no one likes, and keeps putting herself on the tube, people MAY smarten up.
Giuliani seems to appeal to enough moderates and libs to get him some votes, but not enough to outweigh the conservatives he'll lose; ditto McCain. Romney simply isn't anything new--he's George W. Bush with whiter teeth. The rest of the Republican field simply isn't going anywhere, except for Thompson, who's got one major thing in common with RWR--he's a conservative non-conservatives don't see as some kind of religious wacko.
Been thinking this the last few elections only to have my hopes stomped on.
I know the old couplet about hope springs eternal etc...but eternity is getting closer for me all the time. These old bones would love to enjoy, one more time, the pride in America last seen under Reagan.
Don't know if Fred can pull it off but he's the only one out there that seems to be trying (don't Duncan me!)
“This is going to be the most contentious year in politics since Watergate with lies and mud slinging from the dems.”
2004 was no piker for mudslinging either. Can’t get much worse than a network anchor trying to personally swing the presidential election with a faked 35 year old memo.
And if that dumba$$ Burkett in Texas would’ve had the sense to simply go find a 60s/70s era typewriter to type the memo with, the scam would likely have worked and the election stolen.
It’ll be quite interesting to see what the DemonRats try this time.
BUMP!! Well said.
