People have acted wrongly on all sides, but I've had more problems with the Fredheads than with any other group. Even when I was undecided between Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson, they seemed quicker with an insult than any other group. I don't have a problem with someone who disagrees and gives evidence to support his position. I've had some very good discussions with some great supporters of all of the candidates. I have big problems with those whose first response is an insult.

As I said previously, Fred Thompson comes into this primary race with the best chance of holding together the Republican coalition. If his supporters want to do his campaign some good, their first objective should be to avoid antagonizing anyone who might be willing to support Fred Thompson in the future. Most of them do a pretty good job. A few of them are hurting him badly. They guy who started this discussion with the "STOMP MYTH!" statement is not helping Mr. Thompson. You can believe that or not as you wish.

You are 100% correct. Fred is clearly now the best choice to UNITE the Party--while rallying the base--BOTH of which will be required to win in Novemeber.

No other candidate can unite social conservatives, fiscal conservatives and national defense conservatives. Without that solid foundation of conservative support,,,,the dems will win.

i get your point loud and clear. however, you have to understand where i, as a fredhead, am coming from.

all we see about fred are headlines about laziness, slumping, broke, tired, old, haggard, and on and on...

we see fred for what he is: a no non-sense true conservative who might actually be able to restore dignity and discipline to the white house.

i personally get frustrated with fellow republicans who refuse to see that. but more so, i get fed up with others who merely mimic what they hear from the MSM with regard to fred.

i don't really get into it with other FR's, but from what i have seen, many attacks by fredheads are in response to an attack on fred.

this is how i see it, at least. but your point is well taken.
