Your jubilant obfuscation of Fred’s perceived success will not hinder the political truths I tell you, and none of you, including myself, have yet to challenge me with anything even remotely as superior as my facts.

Well said!

There were other things he said about the Schiavo case I disagree with, along with more reiteration of his veiws about states’ rights vs. unalienable rights. I’ll come back later and address them more fully once I’ve had a chance to read a transcript of his remarks.

Not bad. You sounded just like a Mittwit. You could have whined a little more, however...

On issue after issue, point after point, from a conservative perspective, no one beats Fred.

These things are far above people such as yourself at such a meager pay grade. I have exhausted years knowing more than the rest of you. Your jubilant obfuscation of Fred’s perceived success will not hinder the political truths I tell you, and none of you, including myself, have yet to challenge me with anything even remotely as superior as my facts.

Who do you know in the Hitlery camp..sounds just like something she'd say.

Don’t bother. She’s dead. Let the poor woman rest in peace.

Well, she is. But, unfortunately, because of folks who think like Fred, so is Article One, Section Two, of the Florida constitution, and the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Every elected official takes an oath to protect those things, including the Governor of Florida, and the President of the United States. It isn't, as Thompson claims, up to the courts, solely. When a judge gets out of hand and breaches unalienable rights, especially when their actions threaten to kill a citizen, the other branches of government have the duty to step in and prevent the outrage.

“Being a manager is good. Managers are people Leaders hire.”

I had to work today but got a chance to watch the video. My co-workers wondered what was going on when I suddenly stood up, punched my fist in the air, and yelled, "Yes!"

That's one of the best answers to a reporter from any politician I've ever heard. Fred's found his footing and is on his way back.

You may want to go up a few to get the context. This guy is a hoot...

It is hard to get every nuance...

“Wait, I don’t care what someone at your pay grade says. Tell Fred to drop out of the race.”

See it’s hard to get the whine just right.

BTW did you see where this came from, don’t know if I shared it with you...

Steffie did say they had determined in the autopsy that she was brain dead. FRed did allow it to go by, obviously he wanted to move off of it. I can understand that.

Fred would not want to get into a discussion about the medical definition of "brain-dead". Nor would I, but I believe it's just another area where the several states have set their own standards for determining it. Fred's running for President, not Surgeon General.

That is not what I heard or noticed. Perhaps you should listen again. :)

Hey, how did I do?

I hope your candidate shows more class than you have.
