Fred Thompson "Surprise" Announcement today
Fred08.Com ^

Posted on 12/26/2007 7:55:28 AM PST by Onerom99

Rumor circulating on the Fred08 blog that there is going to be a major "surprise" announcement coming this morning.

Perhaps an NRA endorsement or a major political figure?

“Uhhh...are you aware Fred has called his wife that term?”

Yes, and he used it during the MSM stupid questions like “Which is it, boxers or shorts?” The questions were:
What is your most valued posession? My trophy wife.
What is you favorite passtime? Making campaign stops.

I loved Fred’s answers! GO FRED!

BS.

Both my grandfathers were in the military; my father was in the military; my nephew is in the military and I served 5 years with the 82nd. I know plenty of people in the military and plenty of them act like a-holes from time to time.

Let me see if I follow your theory. Somebody throws up a post on a message board that you find rude and this causes you to question their military background (your theory being that the military people you know don’t act like a-holes therefore if someone acts like an a-hole they couldn’t have served.)

My theory is that this is just a slimy variation on your modus operandi of insinuating that anyone who criticizes Mitt is a bigot.

Your handle suits you. I consider your truthfulness and your honor to be very checkered.

Could be.

Originator of this thread heard a rumor of an announcement this afternoon, hence the originator's title. It turned out to be simply that the Thompson campaign has requested donations for running a new Iowa ad. See it at fred08.com.

Thanks.

Mittsters like Checkers are trying vainly to make Thompson to appear as foolish as Mitt the Flip Flopper.

Well, when you can't win on substance what's left other than resorting to falsehoods?

“From every post of yours that I have read, your sole purpose for being on this thread seems to be in putting down Fred.”

You haven’t read too many of my posts, then.

I suppose I am laughing at clowns that can’t think more than a few steps ahead.

(BTW, I am not laughing at Fred.)

“This thread was started as the result of a rumor on a blog. As such, it appears to have been little more than that. A rumor on a blog. But it was nice of everyone to get together. Pass the potato salad.”

Now that’s just funny.

lol

Can you help?...... Without me reading through the entire thread looking for the ‘surprise announcement’ can you tell me what the ‘surprise announcement’ was?....... I see nothing in the sidebars indicating something happened. Thanks.......

Thread originator heard a rumor of an announcement from the Thompson campaign. Turned out only to be the announcement of a fund drive for $200,000 to run a Thompson ad all over Iowa. See it at fred08.com [the red pickup]

“You haven’t read too many of my posts, then.”

You’re wrong. I’ve read nearly all of them.

And from what I’ve read, you’re doing more than laughing.

You’re being downright disrespectful to a few as well.

You can have your beliefs in a candidate, but that doesn’t give you the right to belittle the people that don’t think the same way you do.

Nearly all your posts are one liners and non substantive.

You don’t present evidence for your statements or even answer direct questions without questioning the question.

Like I said. I’ve READ your posts.

But, I’m done reading now. Have more important things to do than hang out on this, or any other forum all day.

You know, I really have to disagree about this notion that Huckabee is a social conservative. He is a pro-life Christian, but advocating nanny-state policies (health, education etc) is certainly NOT social conservatism as it is the antithesis to self-determination and liberty- required for freedom of religion and a moral society. Nanny-state policies and the accompanying big government are inexorably linked to secularism and socialism.

“I know plenty of people in the military and plenty of them act like a-holes from time to time.”

That has not been my experience. Duly noted.

You believe plenty of military people act like a-holes.

Got it.
