Is that hand headed for a wallet? Probably...
Looking at a politician's past record is an excellent predictor of his future behavior just like looking at a racehorse's past performance is indicative of future performances. Once a horse has developed a chart with several performances going back sometime, he seldom rises above his best past performance. I believe the same can be said about a politician.
Huckabee really is a Huckster. He majored in communications - a Slick Willy Jimmy Carter.
The MSM is promoting Huckabee over Romney or Fred for a reason - he’d lose the general.
I would have to agree but who he supported years ago isn't the record I give a crap about. The record of his stance on his issues speak the loudest.
He voted against Reagan? Maybe but it was other times.Reagan was not president and their as a race with other candidates.Sometimes you have to choose between some candidates and the choice maybe difficult...
So what ?
You are just missing the point and making anachronisms...
Today it’s a question of ideas and political choices AND NOT a question of votings...
Sorry for you but FRED THOMSON’s political record and statements is CONSISTENT with REAGAN’s legacy...
Sorry so long.Bad try
I’m loving the Huck vs. Fred feud . .
Okay but see here is the thing. Once Reagan had the nomination what did Fred do. And frankly 1976 was a stupid thing to hold up. Reason being is that Ford was the Veep at the time and generally that is who you support.
The debate of who you supported in a primary is nonsense to bring to the table. I support fred. But i will support who ever has the nomination in the end.
All Fred has to do is ask "Which one is the conservative, me or my good friend, John McCain?"
I can forgive Fred for supporting Baker, his close friend. But any conservative from that generation knows the ACID test was ‘76 vs. Ford. Ford had his position by virtue of being a RINO since Nixon was so weak. Reagan would have been President in ‘76 but for the Freds of the world.
I see Fred as a man on the set. Watergate, Baker crony, and actor who honed his career in the Senate — leaving with a record of achievement on the scale of John Kerry.
Since you obviously aren’t for Fred, please tell us which major candidate most closely represents your political views and would make the best President.
How does support equate a jump to vote??? And was that not in the primary? Grasping at straws is grasping at straws. There are many people in the south that voted for and supported Howard Baker. Do you want them to stop voting just for you. If there is any question of judgment I think I would direct it in your direction and the liberal you support.
(and pardon thousands of violent offenders...and bring the terrorist 'detainees' to the US where they'll soak up millions of taxpayer $ on lawyers as they go, one by one, through our court system, with all the 'rights' of a US citizen...etc etc
Yep, that works...not
If the worse thing you can say about Fred is that he supported the wrong Republican 25-30 years ago, you are quite desperate!
Since you obviously aren’t for Fred, please tell us which major candidate most closely represents your political views and would make the best President.
Remember that when the "Huckster" is the nominee.
The Press should be pointing that kind of stuff out but they don’t.
So Fred supporting the sitting President in 1976, and his fellow Tennesseean, Howard Baker, in 1980 until RR got the nomination is a "predictor" of exactly what?
You mean like Huckster supporting a Dem in 2000?
