Good Friend of mine, watched the event on Wed. She is a Fredhead field volunteer from Tampa. She threw her shoe at the TV when Fred’s video at the debate was an attack ad. Now don’t shoot the messenger her folks, I was praying that Fred would be different too. (And I am still hoping against hope that he might.. some day...”)

“Who’s advising these people, what is going on? HOW COULD HIS ADVSISERS BE SO STUPID?”

To which I replied: “What else would you expect when your top campaign political adviser sleeps with James Carville?”

She has not yet taken off her Fred button. I wonder how many gut punches (from Fred) it will take? Don't bother defending the content of the attack video. Even Republican partisans know that a vision for the future is what the American people are hungry for.

Your personal fable is just swell, and indicative of nothing. You’re so full of Romney that it’s coming out your ears. It smells suspiciously like something I scooped out of my cat’s litter box.

Please explain how a video which only contains other candidates’ OWN WORDS can be an attack ad.

mission9 also wrote: “To which I replied: ‘What else would you expect when your top campaign political adviser sleeps with James Carville?’”

Which is a statement much worse than anything I’ve heard in a Fred Thompson ad. You’ve got a lot of class. /sarc

Attacking an opponents position or showing their stands to be as fluid as the sea is not what I would classify an attack ad.Attacking them on a personal level or saying things like lazy...lackadaisical...amoral...now thats an attack ad.

I thought it was a very bad move on the his campaign’s part. It was not Reaganesque at all. It was arrogant and mean-spirited. It is one of the reasons he is polling so low with women, I think. Not just women, but Americans in general, want hope, optimism and inspiration. The kind Reagan was so good at. That ad was not played at the appropriate time or place. I think Carville may have rubbed off too much on Mary Matalin. Blech.

From what I've read, Mary Matalin is NOT his top campaign advisor, and even if she were, she likes to WIN, so she wouldn't be doing anything to mess up her candidate's chances.

I didn't even watch the debate, so I don't know what the video was about. What I HAVE read, from various sources, was that Fred came off very well in the debate, especially since he wasn't part of the bickering that was apparently going on between Rudy and Mitt. I haven't read anything about any negative ad he showed, so it must not have been made too unfavorable an impression on those who wrote the articles I read.

LOL! I just went to Fred’s site to check out this ‘attack ad’. WHATTA CROCK! Fred simply used his opponent’s own words to point out the differences between his positions and theirs. No attack there, simply laying out the facts for the voters to see. I thought it was a very well done ad.
