It (Fred’s commitment and passion) was there six months ago. Earlier than that, way before he declared, I fell in love with Fred as a candidate. However, I admitted I didn’t know too much about the man, and would be “waiting for him to disappoint me.” He never did. I may be the only person in L.A. driving around with a Fred Thompson bumpersticker. He convinced me thoroughly that he is the best guy to be our President in ‘08.
Those of us who pay attention to the candidates' voting records have always been for Fred (that would be the majority of Freeperdom), and it has been agonizing to watch the media treatment of him. Even Fox. Does anybody know, what was this thing about him refusing to go on O'Reilly? Was that a major gaffe by a Thompson staffer, or a stab in the back by an O'Reilly staffer?
Just drove up to Malibu last week with my Fred2008 bumper sticker were I attended an NCAA men's volleyball match at Pepperdine wearing my Fred08 cap.
The curious stares were priceless.
