Goodbye Fred

What did tell you! Disagree with the Fredheads and your name is now LIAR! Not that you could be wrong, but that you are intentionally lying.

(sigh) I think their hearts are in the right place but they don't seem to realize that shouting down dissent only makes people more determined to stick with opposing views...

[Petronski]

He did lie.

Huckabee is doing well in West Tennessee as well. People that I never thought would forsake a fellow Memphis Stater have.

[Tanniker Smith]

I find it hard to predict the national mood by the showing of a handful of people from a small state on a frozen night on a day with several college bowl games when all the evangelicals come out in force (because they’ll be there come Hell or highwater ... or tundra or football).

Dissent is one thing. Cherry picking quotes for false representation is an entirely different thing.

[John123]

I’m not going to argue context with you. Let’s just wait to see how he does in the next few primaries... If he does badly, then I’m not the only one who thinks Fred doesn’t want it...

[Petronski]

"...shouting down dissent..."

Dissent? How noble of you!

You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. If you post falsehoods, expect them to be corrected.

[Coldwater Creek]

Liar is a very harsh word. You are better than that.

"... I can’t imagine a worse set of circumstances [than] achieving the Presidency of the United States under false pretenses. I go out of my way to be myself..."

[lonevoice]

Hey, pissant. Fred's not my guy, but I'm curious about something. I don't recall ever actually seeing a post from you explaining why you dislike Fred as a candidate. Maybe you've said, and I've just missed it. Still, I'm curious to know the answer.

[John123]

Duncan and Rudy. You couldn’t pick two more ideologically opposites.

I'm not a rubber-stamping foot soldier either. I want a President that will defend our country, lower taxes, lower government spending and build the damn wall.

[Petronski]

Knowing falsehoods are lies.

[LibLieSlayer]

zito needs to pop that zit-o... it is affecting higher brain stem function!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically, Huckabee has to give himself a self-inflicted wound between now and Feb 5th to break his own momentum. Something horribly stupid (clarify, I'm not saying he *is* stupid, but he seems capable of saying and doing stupid things, particularly in the role of President, from a conservative viewpoint) that makes people (even apolitical Christians) say "wait, I was voting for this???". There have been enough rumblings from the volcano of Huck's mind to indicate that an eruption might be imminent, or it could be months from now...

[rintense]

If your choices are Duncan and Rudy, you’re something... I’m just not sure what. And decency prevents me from going down an alternate road.

[John123]

Dissent is one thing. Cherry picking quotes for false representation is an entirely different thing.

Again, it really doesn't matter what you or I think. Let's see how Fred does in the next few primaries. If he stumbles badly, it is because other people thinks the Fred doesn't want it too...

[barryg]

You can send all the money you like , but he needs a personality do-over.

[ontap]

Fred is not going to do well in NH. He has already conceded that point. His first test is South Carolina. AS for Fred’s comment on the presidency it’s about the same stance GW took when he said if he lost he would be perfectly content to go back to Crawford Tx. It is really silly to put so much stock in a single statement. And how do you explain being for either Rudy or Duncan two diametrically opposing forces.

[Coldwater Creek]

Then point out where someone is wrong. Liar, Liar pants on fire sounds so ugly and juvenile..

[Bob]

See my post # 128. I think it’s the link that you’re referring to,

That's not the one but it does get the point across. Thanks for posting it. I really should have bookmarked that other thread. :=(
