"Do you FredHeads read these ad hominems off a crib sheet or do you put together a few of the usual putdowns on the fly for each new poster not cheering Fred's brilliant campaign?"

Kinda like the ad hominem attacks on Fred right?

He's too old!

He's too tired!

He has no fire in the Belly!

His wife is a trophy wife!

Way too much projection goin' on around here!

Pot Meet Kettle!

“He’s too old!

I don’t care about any of those, but he hasn’t exactly run a whirlwind campaign. He’s been trending down in the last month or so. He did get a bump of a couple of points since NRTL endorsed him last week, but a couple of points is all he’s gained back so far. I don’t think he’s too old...or too tired, but I do think he’s got to join the battle at some point, or else get out of the race. There are plenty of people like myself who are still waiting to see what Fred’s going to do. So far he’s not done much since he announced. I don’t think the “I’m just Fred” style of campaign is going to get it done.

The MSM has caused most of this, especially The Fox Rudy Network(Rudy’s law firm worked for Murdoch)

The fact that Fred seems to be too old, too tired, too uninterested, too dour...people will understandably see these things differently. It is a style that many of us find unappealling. But it is not -- if it gets results in the campaign -- disqualifying. I am not surprised that those who strongly support Fred may be able to overlook these things.

But here is this: The knocks on Fred's style were not invented but people trying to knock him down. They comprise a tough, but not unreasonable critique of his demeanor. Sure, people will use his negative attributes against him. But they are not making these things up.

I think that's a positive.

:)
