Fred voted yes on one article, the serious one, and no on another. The one he voted against would have set a very low bar on impeachable offenses. While it would have been desirable to rid ourselves of Clinton, Thompson judged, and rightly so, that to set the bar that low would effect future presidents, including our own side. Indeed our team was a bit sloppy and should have stuck with the serious charge since impeachment is an all or nothing affair, but hindsight is 20/20.

Hence my “Was Bush Impeached” question. He wasn't because the standards were maintained as they should have been so the Democrat could not do to us what we almost did to Clinton. Blow back is always the price of political vendettas.

As for the rest, I have seen the whole “Mitt was in a blue state yada ydad ydad for years”. Hogwash. He danced around numerous issues and even today takes pride in his health care fiasco. Even praised it again this week.

So no go, been there done that dozens of times.

I love Coulter, but she, like many others, was too star struck to look past the promises and the current “Mitt Version” to see the history. Researching the real Mitt is an effort for it goes all over the place.

Yes he had somewhat “flopped” our way, but even now he shows that is was not only incomplete, but very possibly temporary and prone to the whims of the political winds as has always been Mitts nature.

So as you can see, we “malcontents’ otherwise known as the majority of FreeRepublic including the boss man himself are not so easily swayed and take time to look not as the words but the actions and history. Mitt was found more than wanting and that has not changed.

Oh, so Coulter's "star struck" because she doesn't think Romney's satan? really? I would never assume that about Fred's supporters and it's better applied to him, being an actor.

You don't have to defend Fred to me, I was just tossing out arguments against him I've heard people say. I've heard all the comebacks. Like I said, none of them were deal-breakers for me. I would have voted for him without biting my lip. I'm just really stumped by the lack of generosity towards MR. Fred is forgiven everything. Romney's forgiven nothing. Weird.
