Show me the post where I ever claimed to have been "excited" about Fred. I have been signaling caution from early-on. Sometimes I was snide as Fred continually built up and then disappointed expectations. Other times, I expressed hopefulness and willinging to wait and see...but nothing like "excitement." I was disappointed that Fred proved to be the unprepared, unserious fellow that I feared he was.
I also had not picked a candidate until about ten days ago, largely because I was still waiting to see if Fred would come to life. Finally, I concluded that I was right about Fred, he is a hopeless dud, and picked Romney. (I believe I suffered something like a one-day delusional fit a couple of months back when I thought maybe Newt was the man, since you are so interested in my posting history.)
Show me where I expressed "excitement" about Fred.
It is you Fredheads who have the explaining to do. Many of you clogged these threads with your mindless chants of "Be very afraid" and managed to create a bandwagon for a lazy old guy who wouldn't mind being president if it doesn't interfere with his TV-watching schedule and he doesn't have to spend too much time away from home. We are a lot further from finding a candidate to defeat Hillary than we would have been without this huge Fred distraction.
You better start justifying ~your~ posting history.
How about the one I replied to, where you speak of 'we, the disappointed'.
Or how about this little ditty with just a bit of martyrdom thrown in for good measure:
I don't even bother much anymore to claim that I was hopeful about Fred early-on, but I was.
If you feel the need to continue, don't worry, I'll be there to call you out every time you attempt to deceive.
The fact is that you have been a nasty, below-the-belt, crap-thrower since before Thompson even got into the race.
Now, you feign an appearance of being 'reasonable', but you're just another Romney shill and always have been.
You better start justifying ~your~ posting history.
Had I? I think not. MY posting history is consistent. You may not like what I say about ole Slick Willard, but I have never pretended to be anything but what I am: A Fred Thompson supporter who has a large amount of disdain for phony conservatives like Mitt Romney. Can't say the same for you.
Now, you're also pretending that you've only recently decided to support Romney. As I'm sure others remember, you've been a Romney butt-boy since way back, so cut out the act. Nobody's buying it.
