I agree. There was some kind of Youtube debate between Hunter and Tancredo, so I would hope there’d be at least one for Hunter & Thompson. Those aren’t that expensive to put together.

Round and round and round they go, where they stop...

Oh hell they don’t stop...

Today was a great day for our team...

Have fun sally (?)

[Petronski]

I think Betty likes the, uh, rhythm of the ride, so to speak.

[Kevmo]

You can think of the price as a pile of gold or a cowflop too. Doesn’t make it shine or stink.
***But if you can make money from that pile of gold or cowlfop, then it really is interesting.

[LibLieSlayer]

My honest opinion was that he was speaking very definitively about “the” Holy Grail of politics... and with the media being like it is today, Fred was just being utterly clear and concise... about a subject most people tune out.

[Kevmo]

Toss the grenade, blame the other guy...
***Baloney

I’ll bite. Fred is Christian. So is Hillary and Obama.

[Petronski]

How precious.

[Kevmo]

There was no reason to even mention what you did, and your delayed response tells me a lot.
***You obviously didn’t read the context of what was written, nor the posts afterwards which went further into the context. The delay in response? I responded in the order that things appeared. I’m at work. You’re just fishing.

I know the last thing ‘they’ want is Fred. But I’m still surprised by the volume of BS stories with tweaked headlines showing up around here. Guess we don’t pay much attention, he still leads every poll I saw on FR.

[Petronski]

It’s mostly the Romney Sleaze Machine, with a few postcards from oblivion thrown in out of sheer desperation.

[Kevmo]

The context of your original quote about Fred’s Christianity is not clear.
***Then read the thread. You go fetch. You’re the one who’s all upset over it.

Are you talking about Dobson’s quoted words about Fred, or your own beliefs?
***What difference does it make? I was talking about why Dobson didn’t endorse Hunter. Who cares whether I think Fred is a Christian or not? Fred certainly doesn’t care. You’ve made a huge mountain out of a molehill.

“Already answered, not going to bite” is two answers. Either you have an answer or not.
***Context. Read the original context. Read the explanatory context. Understand the point made. If the word “christian” is such a hot-button issue for you, use “unicorn admiration society” as I’ve suggested.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Why the hell should anyone go bump your lame attack thread?

[Kevmo]

So I missed it, Betty. Repeat it for me.
***Nope. You go fetch.

[Kevmo]

Already answered, Betty.
***Ok, sorry about calling you Sally, Betty. I really did think your first name was Sally.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Fred isn’t getting face time, nor is he showing passion when he does. He seems like he thinks it might be nice to be president. That won’t get it done.

Exactly. He just thought conservatives would be so fed up with Rudy McRomney, that all he'd have to do is just stand around and look pretty and he'll get the vote.

[rodeo-mamma]

Saying that Mitt is not pro-life is an outright lie.

[Petronski]

That time of the month, Betty?

It would explain a lot.

[Petronski]

You haven’t the courage of your own convictions, Betty. That makes you a coward. You gave an answer but you fear repeating it.

Pitiful.

[Kevmo]

Why the hell should anyone go bump your lame attack thread?
***It’s not my thread. And, several months ago I had asked the Fred supporters if we could have a Fred vs. Hunter thread with some ground rules where we would all be polite to each other, and not just on that one thread. No takers.
