[Names Ash Housewares]

‘You know, I think he’d be a great president but he just didn’t get in soon enough, so I can’t vote for him.’

Sorry, but what an idiot.

[ontap]

You need to reread that last sentence, They are saying they DON”T know anyone who would say that.

What a bunch of dumbbells in that article. GO FRED!

[TornadoAlley3]

oops, sorry, replied to wrong thread, but still GO FRED!

[ontap]

Who’s the dumbbell?

[54skylark]

Sorry for flaming you but why can’t you vote for him? DO you live in Iowa or NH since voting is finished??

I would re-think you comment about who the idiot is I think most of us know who the idiot is.

[54skylark]

I am not flaming you sorry if it came across that way,

[ontap]

I believe that “Names Ash Housewares” misread the last sentence.

[TornadoAlley3]

Raising my hand. :-)

[ontap]

LOL! I’ve done worse.

[Names Ash Housewares]

“I believe that “Names Ash Housewares” misread the last sentence.”

Yep. I stand corrected.

I thought she said that.

But anyone who does think that is a fool.

Fred can win this thing.

Forgive me if I'm missing something but it appears that you are taking something out of context. The full quote was: "I don't know many people that said, 'You know, I think he'd be a great president but he just didn't get in soon enough, so I can't vote for him.'

[Prophet in the wilderness]

( She had been anticipating Thompson's presidential run "for a long time" -- he didn't make his bid official until a Sept. 5 appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" -- and hopes his late entry, by other candidates' standards, won't hurt him. Thompson says "we'll see," but rejects the notion that "you have to run for three years."
"I don't know many people that said, 'You know, I think he'd be a great president but he just didn't get in soon enough, so I can't vote for him.'

[ImpBill]

"That's why they established the Constitution the way they did. The notion that a government big enough and powerful enough to give you anything was big enough and powerful enough to take anything away from you," Thompson said.

Fred gets it and I am sure he, like many of "us" has had it for a long time now, as we have!

PING!!

Yes, these are your fellow Citizens, all endowed by the constitution and later acts of congress with the right to vote.

And we wonder why we are screwed....

[ejonesie22]

Ah, looks like it was taken out of cotext.

However, what I said still applies...

[Shortstop7]

Hope there are lots of voters like that lady. Go FRed!

Article: "I don't know many people that said, 'You know, I think he'd be a great president but he just didn't get in soon enough, so I can't vote for him.'"

I should hope not. If his name's on your ballot, he got in early enough.
