Yeah, pushing Fred to do somethng he did not want to do worked so well last time.
People should leave that poor man along and stop putting pressure on him.

Sorry, can’t vote for Myth.
Myth a bigger liberal than McCain, just a better liar.
The remaining declared candidates are all turds, and none of them is worthy of even a tactical vote.

No he is not.
He may have been at one time but no longer.

We have no way of knowing how he ran his campaign once he got in. We have no access to the raw schedule; all we have is press reports of it. I won’t vote for him today because Romney is the only vote to allow a brokered convention, but consider; Fred had committed to help Paul Harvey, who was ill, and had appeared in all those first-run L&O episodes which could not run if he declared.
I personally think the campaign is obscenely long and would rather see it compressed back to the year before election day.

I really wanted Fred for President. Donated to his campaign and all.
The problem is, Fred didn't act like he wanted to be President. As the popular saying went, there was no "fire in the belly." And in the end, Fred's was the most lackluster campaign since John Anderson ran against Carter and Reagan in 1980.
Sorry...I wanted Fred, but it didn't seem that Fred wanted Fred.

Make sure you use some hand sanitizer after touching that lever, you might bring something home.

Where did I say I was for McCain? I said I was voting for Romney today. If McCain wins the nomination I will then write-in (Fred) or stay home. But I will NOT vote for McCain, Huckabee or Paul. Period.
As for Fred possibly coming back into the race, yeah, right. When was the last time you heard of that happening? And if it did, when did that reentry get the candidate anywhere? I'm just not buying it. Why? Because I think Fred's smart enough to know the odds.
But if it happens, he'd better wage a far better campaign than he did the first time. That's my point.

I wouldn’t want to see a good man do a Perot, where he’s in, then he’s out, then he’s in again.

Everyone won’t. I think the last figure I saw was 60%+ for McCain. My left-leaning paper actually endorsed Romney.

In general conservative always vote, liberals will use any excuse not to vote.

Fred was once in the race? Now he's out? It's kind of hard to tell with the type of campaign he ran.
And if his campaign was any indication of how he'd run the country, count me out.

Yes...'cause that makes soooo much sense. Fred's not/wasn't interested in 'running', he was interested if the nomination were handed to him, it wasn't, so he's out.
Voting for Fred today maybe gives you a 'feel good' moment, if that's what you going after, fine. If you looking for other results, it is a waste. IMO.

To: Digital Sniper
Fred only wanted the job because he is a public servant, but already had a job.
Only career politicians NEED a job. Thats why they spend millions of dollars (our money) to convince us how great they will be.
I too donated to Fred.

You know what, I just can't care about Fred, anymore. What's he going to do? Run on a Thompson-McCain ticket?
Don't misunderstand me, I'm sincerely sorry about his mother's poor health. (Ostensibly the reason for his withdrawl BEFORE this Super-Duper Tuesday.) Why would you start late and then quit before the big enchilada?(a little Spanish lingo)
However, I'm having a flashback to the Perot days in '92. (I'm in, I'm out--reminds me of someone I dated before Mr. MaggieCarta--but I digress)
As I've said somewhere else before, how "conservative" can he be, really--he was in McAmenesty's corner in 2000. But, of course, he's a different man, now.
Yeah, right.
