yep
Apparently they are updating the total manually.
Every dollar helps toward the goal.
I think you do need to acknowledge that a true “trophy” wife does in fact exist. And once you acknowledge that, you will realize that sometimes it is debateable which are trophies and which are not.
So instead of banning someone who used the term, let’s just let them know how stupid they are for applying it incorrectly.
Yeah, to tweak all the bastards who dared call her that.
“That is a big and unlikely if. Fred had his momentum, the loss of it cannot be blamed on MSM or other candidates.”
What was the deal on FRED!! attacking Fox News a few weeks ago?
Come on now. Fred gets hammered by many folks here with tired old MSM narrative built lines.
I don't have the power to ban anyone, nor would I want it.
“Typical formulation by Mitt-worshipping Fred-bashers.”
Most well-funded campaigns (which Mitt certainly has done) have paid or voluntary staffers who post an approved formulation of attack on various boards.
Sometimes, there’s even a macro for speed.
They typically go in the same order, and are given instructions to derail threads favorable to other candidates, engaging in attacks/disruption.
I have no direct evidence of that occurring here, but do note that “different” Mitt supporters are generally the first or second poster on every pro-Fred Thompson thread repeating the same macro of attacks, making it look like such macro-attack is occurring.
It’s ineffective and reveals more about the candidate they support than anything.
“I’m a Fred guy but you gotta give a man credit where credit’s due. But heck...no matter who’s money it is he still hasn’t been able to buy the nomination.”
How do you feel about the way Fred backers constantly have to take a dump on Mitt?
Thompson’s raising money for a great ad. Not slamming any of the other candidates just his positions.
OK you are right, Mitt Romney fans are in absolute control of the forum and the mods are supporting them to ban any Fred Thompson supporter who goes against them (extreme sarcasm).
That's the Romney Sleaze Machine Prime Directive. It's the kind of thing that has driven Slick Willard's negatives to 47%.
“The question I asked few weeks ago is what will Free Republic do if Fred Thompson is not the nominee?”
I saw some answers to your question some time ago. It is difficult for us up-beat Fred supporters to believe that he will not be the nominee when real conservative voters get to inspect all the records of the candidates. Why is it we hear negative comments about the “records” of all the candidates except Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter? It is because their records are of REAL CONSERVATIVES. All the negative comments made about Fred have only to do with “came in the race too late, no fire in the belly, looks tired, looks too old, and on and on. So with some, looks and appearance mean more than conservative record? I happen to LIKE the looks and appearance of Fred and LOVE his REAL CONSERVATIVISM! GO FRED! (I will vote against any Democrat,but don’t want to hold my nose while doing it!)
Well, this is a conservative forum, promoting conservatism and attacking liberals and liberalism.
Is it supposed to be a surprise when many people support a conservative and criticize a liberal?
What did you expect?
So..like..uh...if I decided to contribute...when would it become tax deductible???
