Lets watch it and find out...
There is nothing defensive in his manner at all. There is really nothing wrong with his answers, although he did miss an opportunity with mention of the Kay report as Huck mentioned. But I'm not sure there is anything about his delivery that people are going to find very compelling.
The primary elections are still about two months away, and as we know, the dynamics of a primary election can change on a dime. Remember, Howard Dean led in the polls up until a couple of weeks before the Iowa caucuses in ‘04.
Right now you have a lot of people dissatisfied with the top five candidates. Fred had a chance to capitalize on this void but seems to be fading. Huckabee seemed to get a bump but his support seems very shallow and he has his own liberal leanings.
So who’s left? Hunter, perhaps? About the only thing holding him back is money and name recognition. Those who know him mostly love what he has to bring. But he’s the only one (outside perhaps Tancredo) with a track record of being solidly anti-amnesty and pro-border enforcement, and as we all know that is the crucial issue today.
We miss you, Laverne. Safe travels and all the best to your mom.
They also have very easy to obtain liscense plates.
Fred is on right now here in florida....talking about abortion....and boy is he going to get it from the strict conservatives. He wants to give abortion decisions to states rights.
No actually they do not. Thompson was right on the money with his comments Bin Laden is nothing more but the face put on a whole movement of Islamic Fascism. Amazing how the same pompous Liberals who arrogantly decry the "death penalty as nothing but petty revenge" are so quick to seize upon revenge, in regards to Bin Laden, to be a "principal" to base US policy on when they can use it to push their own partisan political agenda.
At that point they win all the time and every time,and we don't stand a chance.
It's not the view of govt. our forefathers had and one can just imagine how fast they are spinning today underground.
Both Parties are in on this sweet little scam for massive votes and cheap labor. They have each other's back and are both fighting for it rather than doing the right thing for the country.
We used to call people like that "whores". Now they are referred to as "compassionate statesmen".
To which I would respond to those types, “Even murder is a state law in most cases.” Federal law prohibits murdering federal agents, as well as traveling interstate to flee murder charges, but murder is a state crime, not federal.
Why should abortion be treated any different?
fawn, listen closely to Fred..........he said life begins at conception and abortion at any time is in fact killing the baby...he then said as a matter of law....federal
law is wrong visa ve Roe vs wade......he said state law not federal law should be the answer........said the same about homo marriages................his whole point is states rights vs hijacked law at the federal level
Catch you later snugs, great GW photo thanks.!
Hurry back Laverne we will miss you. All the best to your mother.
Here comes the question about the drug dealer with Thompson’s campaign.
Timmy reads an incredibly lengty piece on it.
Fred says yes, he is still with his campaign. Has not had a chance to talk to him about it yet. Says he has complied with all rules on airplane travel.
(Fred is very good at not letting Timmy get him off his message.)
He did not know about the things that happened in Phil’s twenties. He turned himself around. He is my friend and he will stay my friend. I’m not going to throw him under the bus.
I am always confused by posts like yours.
Are we electing our “leaders” or our “servants”. Do they lead by serving our wishes or serve us by leading us to places we didn’t think about and are reluctant to go.
I am serious not criticizing. I think we elect leaders who know who we are and then lead.
line of the interview ::::
Tim says Fred, you are losing weight........Fred says back immediately..........coming from you Tim, that is a compliment.
what’s up ?
