I didn’t call you a flamer. I said “Everyone wants to flame me.” That’s accurate, civil, respectful and especially so because it refers to no individual specifically.
I do agree with your statement,
“I am saddened that we need fluff to sell something that is so important and literally life altering.”
But it’s best to deal with life the way it is rather than the way we wish it were. In addition if we (Fred) ignores this truth the consequences will be...
Regarding your link...It’s good for Fred to get endorsements. But he has to do more.
Look at the excitement Obama has generated with his “Oprah tour” where he is able to speak to a crowd of 10,000. Contrast that with Fred’s meeting in the posted article in which he spoke to 30.
Which do you think made the respective candidate look more exciting?
Your words:
“so why dont all you flamers come up with better ones that might energize the campaign.”
I have not flamed you but have tried to have a discourse with you.
Where did you come up with the number 30?
I went back and read it and maybe I missed it. Did you read the article?
... “It’s hoots and hollers and ‘hell yeas’ from the back of the room. It’s almost Revivalesque. It’s stuff we’re not used to in Iowa,” says Haus.”
It takes me and you and all his supporters to go out and show the real Fred. Unfortunately we are fighting against this image that has been sold by the media. I have never seen him as the things they portray him to be. But I will continue to show people the Fred I see. I dont know that a hip young singer will bring any focus to him.
And just for an fyi...Oprah is now facing a big backlash from her longtime fans for her stumping. So in the long run will it help Obama?
Having a celeb could also backfire. Since I have no answer ...I will just keep fighting on.
