Fabulous. Come on Fred. But if not go Romney.
Good for Fred Thompson in California, now, he can only go up!
This is going to the convention.
This is great. Go Fred!
WOW...this is great...McCain and Huckelberry have to be taken out in South Carolina!
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding!) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (“Individual” rights to protect their homes and property!)
INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (Diplomacy through Strength and verification!)
SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (Don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s; don’t employ illegal’s; don’t rent to illegal’s; don’t extend credit to illegal’s; don’t give illegal’s rights they have no right to; report all crimes committed by illegal’s to ICE and immediately deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America!) LAW AND ORDER (Enforcement of our current laws regarding illegal immigration!) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (Enough is enough!)
CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (Great progress has been made on the Supreme Court in Bush’s term. FRED was asked by President Bush to spirit Justice Roberts through the confirmation process. The next President will probably have the opportunity to seat two additional Justices. This is huge folks. FRED will nominate Justices who will interpret the Constitution, not create rights that simply do not exist and legislate from the bench!) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (will strive to nominate superior Justices with the eventual goal of overturning Roe vs Wade)
THOMPSON PLAN TO REDUCE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING (Check out his detailed plan to reduce Federal spending!)
SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (Social Security is an entitlement program that will soon overtake the budget. The program can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations; FRED has detailed proposals to save Social Security and provide the added benefit of private savings accounts for younger workers!)
DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT OR RINO (Close your eyes and imagine the first debate between FRED THOMPSON and ANY liberal DemocRAT they put up?)
TAX SIMPLIFICATION (Reform and perhaps eliminate the IRS with a variety of choice for the tax payer!)
EDUCATION (Return education to the States. It is that simple. The NEA is the greatest enemy of our educational system!)
WON’T PUT UP WITH TRUTH MANIPULATION FROM THE DB-MSM (including stupid questions by liberal moderators, and “purchased” political pundits)
FRED THOMPSON IS THE “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to set aside his personal life and step up one more time for his Country…and he stepped up!)
THIRD IN IOWA, SECOND IN WYOMING (MSM still calling it a tie with McCain’s name in the lead…FoxNews won’t even mention his name if they can find a way to avoid it!)
TOTAL DELIGATES TO DATE: 6
WINNER OF SOUTH CAROLINA JANUARY 10, 2008 DEBATE – HANDS DOWN!!! (In lieu of the airtime FoxNews chose to give him…or not give him as the case may be. WE THE PEOPLE notice garbage like that!)
IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA! IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR FLORIDA! IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR NEVADA!
IT IS TIME FOR REAGAN CONSERVATIVES TO COME OUT OF THE WALLS AND WOODWORK AND UNITE NOW BEHIND THE ONLY TRUE STANDARD BEARER FOR REAGAN CONSERVATISM! A CONSERVATIVE THOMPSON REVOLUTION! PLEASE STOP BY FRED08.COM AND STUDY HIS WHITE PAPERS ON ALL THE MAJOR ISSUES!
Ping! California is the biggest prize of all, and Romney is in strong position.
The real story is that Rudy has tanked in California. He is toast if he can’t win California.
That is what they thought in 1976 when the contest was between Reagan and Ford. But Ford won the support of the party regulars in eough states to take the nomination.
Romney has two things a great organization and the smarts and money to win. He will win.
Look for Romney to take Florida on the 26th and more than half the states on super Tuesday. REmember the polls showed Huckabee getting all the religious right votes in michigan. But the exit polls showed that Romney got half of them.
Now the media is saying that the evangelicals in South Carolina are different than the evangelicals in Michigan. As dad used to say, the south lost the civil war in the 19th century but they took Michigan with out firing a shot in the 20th century.
The only differnce is the South Carolina evangelicals are not singing the lyrics to the song "Detroit City" and the Michigan ones are.
You know what they are
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home.
I dreamed about my momma, dear old daddy, sister and brother,
and I dreamed about that girl whose been waiting for so long.
I want to go home. I want to go home. OH Lord I want to go home.
Whoever wins CA will probably be the nominee.
Let’s go to the Convention. It has been a long time since we had a good convention fight.
It’s very depressing that Hunter isn’t doing well in his home state.
Very cool!
I’ve already submitted my ballot for Romney here in Ventura County. Mitt’s going to take CA.
I still don’t understand why Fred has had a pretty much hands off attitude towards McQueeq. I believe this might cost him in South Carolina.
This is a good showing for Fred in California. He needs to go after McQueegs record some more.
But we need the breakdown by congressional district, and the sample size of 500-something is not enough to give that.
You’re exactly right. CA doesn’t award ALL of its delegates to the winner. It’s district-by-district here. I don’t think there is even a reasonably valid way to predict how it will go here because of that. You’d have to sample EVERY district ( all 53 of them) and do the stats that way
