Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson just endorsed Newt Gingrich for the Republican nomination.
Having a rational, give-and-take discussion about the strong points of the one candidate and the weak points of the other—this is not allowed. Only the complete condemnation of the one and the uncritical praise of the other is allowed. I would have good things and bad things to say about each if I were to go into detail, so I won’t.
Sweet like chocolate! :)
I should add, reading a bunch of “FU”s, enraged pejoratives, capital letters, and exclamation points directed against a candidate does nothing to persuade me. In fact, it has the opposite effect. Reasoned discussion would be much more persuasive.
Don’t forget the brilliant Thomas Sowell’s endorsement of Newt.
His answering machine says something like, ‘leave me a message and it better be thorough if you want a response.’
Great news!
Surely, you can come up w/something. You'll be the first though. I have asked for two months - what has Mitt done FOR our country and not for his own glory and pocket - and no one can supply an answer? Is it because he said we are in recovery and gave Barry kudos for that? Or is it his stuttering or ability to talk and not answer the question. Or do you just like the empty suit?
No one is allowed to give an answer.
teh FRed.
I love it!
I’m a FredHead. ;o)

May God guide our course.
Tatt
over 2 million voters in the FLA primary. Next up: Maine begins on 2/3 and NEV on 2/4.
Fewer than 10,000 will participate in ME. Not sure why there is so little interest here in actually participating. ME seems like a logical place to have an impact.
Finally I get some value of the $100 I gave FRed in 2008. Man Jerri would have made a great first lady!
I gave $100 to Cain but we don’t need his endorsement. I’ll eat that one!
LOL!
I still have my Fred 08’ mug sitting proudly on my desk. The best candidate in the last 40 years not to become President. He would have been a great one. His vice was coming out of the box too slowly and believing he could build momentum. Romney and McCain simply had too many resources for that to be a successful strategy.
during the 2008 primaries.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, not only for you, but also for Free Republic and our nation, which has lost far too many heroes like him. May God bless and keep him.
I hope he gives Newt the money I sent him the day before he resigned his campaign
Good. I voted for Fred on super Tuesday in 2008, after the election had already been handed to McCain.
Gingrich has some very juicy material on Romney for his commercials, particularly if he can get the video. Romney pro-mandates. Romney making permanent the Massachusetts "assault weapons ban". Lots of good stuff if Newt decides to open that can of whup-ass.
