Fred isn’t the heir to Ronald Reagan that all the Thompson supporters think he is. I’m tired of the conspiracy theories that all the FredHeads come up with. The fact is the guy has been less than inspiring and has only himself to blame for his lack of campaing success.
c note here as well. Fred might surprise a few tonight. I think 20% can be considered a stronbg showing and enough to make a push for future primaries.
This rumor is a bunch of BS designed to hurt Fred as continuuing to be “lackadaisical”. MSM or rival planted.
Fred hasn’t used Reagan as a campaign bus bobble-head the way other candidates have. I don’t want another Reagan. There was only one. I want an adult who is not consumed by personal ambition, but motivated by love of country to offer himself for service.
I can’t trust a candidate whose campaign uses stealthy tricks this early; if they have to resort to them now, how will they win against Obama or Hillary?
I agree, however only Fred and Duncan Hunter are acceptable as they are the only two conservatives in the bunch and that is the most crucial point. I will take Fred the rest [other than Hunter] are a bunch of liberals ....might as well vote for Osama [grin] as any of them.
I do understand why others might think so, it is a charge he didnd't really respond to and it stuck, true or not.
So lately, I’ve been trying to look at them from the common voter’s point of view. Eighteen years in marketing gives me a good start. Your average voter in a primary makes up his mind behind the voting curtain. His first objective is party and next is what he remembers about the candidates. And that isn’t very much. Many of them only have a fleeting picture in their minds. If they remember Fred as looking old and tired it’ll go against him.
He said he didn’t want to run and then backtracked and he didn’t register in Texas. Are these mental lapses? If I were Fred I’d rather go back to Hollywood.
Fred is one of them. I am waiting to go hear him speak, and hopefully see and meet both of them when they come to Michigan.
I can support all the rest (well maybe a couple I can't), although of the current front runners I have the most serious reservations about Huckabee. I think he would be a disaster as a candidate, and if he actually won he might be a very poor President.
All the Democrats (especially the hag) scare the crap out of me thinking they could become President..........
We seem to be of similar mind. Huckabee is good but I don’t think he’s good enough at this time.
Just hurt my teeth gritting them so hard. I am scared spitless.
