I wonder what things would be like now, if he had been elected?
Economically stable. Islam on the lam. Strong relations with allies. Etcetera.
That would be great.
He needed to wake up, first. I liked what he had to say, but his campaign was ennervating.
Yeah, he probably would have gotten my vote.
I was mad that he didn’t even make it to the Va. primaries. We need to fix the primary system first. It’s ludicrous that Iowa and New Hampshire get to decide who runs for president.
I was mostly frustrated with the way the MSM portrayed (or didn’t) him. They had made up their minds on 0 and McCain early on.
I miss Fred.
I agree.
Primaries should all occur on the same day, as is with the case of the general election and no more than 60 days out from the general election.
Of course that isn't going to happen, so I will add to my wish list the disbanding and outlawing of all political parties.
Let individuals run. We have never needed political parties and the two that currently have the Republic by the throat have no interest other than their own perpetuation and dominance. Republic be damned.
Getting rid of political parties is the first step into taking back our Republic.
True. I always felt like I was trying to run in a dream when I thought of his campaign. Slow, flat, lackluster. Even McCain's pre-Palin campaign had more energy, and that's saying a lot.
Since Bork was nominated in July 1987, it's not clear whether doing the "murder board" in 1990 would have helped much.
Fred did not have a fire in the belly approach to running. He was convinced to enter by the need for a actual conservative. His health was potentially a serious concern.
Glad to see he is doing well. I would like to see him have a larger position in the Republican future.
Can you access that “list of radio stations” and post it? Thanks
My browser has it blocked....
His campaign for Senator with the pickup truck was very successful. Especially in the heartland.
He mentioned several reasons why he decided not to revive the pickup truck campaign. (may be seen as “one-lined”..... may not go ever well with uppidy types..... may be seen as a gimmick)
I wish he had done more to get to more people.
If it had not been for the Mittwits and the Shuckabee dupes we might have had President Thompson and a whole lot safer and healthier country
Well, that’s something we’ll neve know. I figure it just wasn’t in God’s plan.
That’s all that comforts me presently ... that all this must be God’s plan ... albeit one that is not understandable by mere mortals ... it certainly is beyond my comprehension
It comforts me constantly. Besides, my understanding or not, really won’t make a difference.
