Wow! I musta missed that one!
(I knew I was getting senile, but . . . .)
The Kerry-Lieberman ticket?
I think I've had too much to drink. I thought you said Kerry-Lieberman.
Eek. You did!
Sounds about right to me. I second the motion.
This story speaks volumes about who the other side is afraid of and has their finger prints all over it.
“He is not quitting.”
He’s running for VP
You are absolutely correct. What I have been reading is that all the Republican candidates loathe Romney and if they can’t win it, they will do whatever they can to defeat Romney even if they have to hold their nose and endorse someone else.
Fred on Fox now. He said the rumor was made up by another campaign. No truth to it at all, he says.
True - but at least Mitt pays lip service to conservatives. McCain spits on us.
If push comes to shove, Mitt MIGHT deliver on conservative values. It is 100% assured that McCain will fight conservatives every step of the way.
I think I’ll agree with Fred on this for now.
Fred sounds good this morning. He’s still genuine and “just Fred”.
Could be. But more likely IMO is that Fred will eventually endorse Capt. McQueeg simply because they have been good friends for years.
Dubious. Normally I’d take a look at rumors like this but this is the Politico and they’ve written utter claptrap about Fred before (remember that utterly false claim about him being broke?)
I doubt he drops out before South Carolina.
They're not trying to predict the results they're trying to mold the results just as political polling doesn't reflect public opinion, it's part of an effort to shape opinion.
Did you even read the article? The sources are within the Thompson campaign, and the reason is he is out of money.
Fred may finish third here, or he may drop to fourth behind McCain. There have been rumors swirling among Republican activists here for a couple of weeks that he and McCain have been talking about combining resources.
Fred is not surging here. He is, and has been, struggling. His FR supporters may not want to face the truth, but those are the facts.
I listened to Rush yesterday and when a Huckabee supporter called in, I was surprised aat what Rush was saying. It sounded like he hadn’t done his homework and was repeating some of the old Romney talking points. Made me believe Rush really enjoyed his vacation and stayed away from the political news.
One thing I don’t understand, whether this is true or not -and right now it looks doubtful. But even the discussion of him leaving the race is peculiar.
There were only two or three men that were right on ALL the issues (or at least 98% of them) and they were Thompson and Hunter.
Every other candidate, including the one I prefer, has flaws - some have DEEP flaws - and could be in trouble in the general because of a failure to unite all wings of the party, no matter what their priorities.
My question: Why in God’s name is Fred running so poorly in the polls? I just don’t understand it. I don’t think it’s because he got in late; I remember reading post after post here waiting for him to throw his hat in the ring.
What happened?
It would be nice if the mods would edit the title of hit pieces like this as debunked when bonafide, sourced proof exists that they are, in fact, bullcrap.
FReerepubic is linked to by well over 5000 other blogs, websites, and newsfeeds. It’s scrapped by many, such as breitbart. The average Joe surfing by these sites sees only the headlines and the name FREEREPUBLIC, and it becomes a reality to them. A reality they, then, start repeating to others as fact.
Thank you.
