Thompson wins Washington GOP straw poll
Sound Politics ^ | 07 May 2007 | Stefan Sharkansky

Posted on 05/08/2007 2:16:13 PM PDT by shutterspeed

Not that this necessarily means a whole lot, but it's worth noting. According to the official state party report on Saturday's annual statewide auction dinner:

Fred Thompson was the runaway winner, taking half of all votes cast. Clearly the other candidates have some work to do to match the support that former Sen. Thompson is receiving from grassroots activists. ... Fred Thompson 50% Mitt Romney 16% Rudy Giuliani 15% Duncan Hunter 10% John McCain 5% Tom Tancredo 1% Tommy Thompson 1% Mike Huckabee 1% Newt Gingrich <1%

Oh, yeah, you’re that guy. You used to post that crap on every thread and now you’ve moved on to posting this idiotic Newt thing on every thread.

That ain’t hyperbole, it’s idiotic defeatism. And it’s spam that you’re posting across multiple threads daily.

Well, after Fred announced that he was taken, all the good women just decided to stop dating. They all go to bed alone every night in their Fred Thompson feety pajamas.

After Fred, it just wasn’t worth it for them. That’s why Newt and Dick Morris are left scraping the bottom of the barrel. :)

If you think American wimmen will not elect Hitlery Clinton your deluded.. in denial..
And a large portion of 20 million illegal and LEGAL Aliens voting democrat in 2008 will ensure it..

Americas voting demographics have been changed for a long time in the future.. Must be what the war was about.. To take all eyes off the Mexican border so the elections could be rigged..

Republicans can be so stupid.. pity too..

You are blinded by your own defeatism. You’ve been beaten by your own mind before you even got a chance to do anything.

Seriously, your talk is the talk of a loser.

Everything else you posted is utter nonsense. Get off the computer and take your meds before Nurse Rached catches you and takes you to the quiet room.

This is frankly insulting to women, assuming that they are somehow going to be irresistably attracted to Hillary, regardless of her politics or their's JUST because she's a SHE. In my observation of the opposite sex, I frankly see women judge one another MORE harshly than than they do men. Judging all women by feminist standards is not only unfair, it's incorrect.

Also (for reasons I frankly don't understand) lots of women seem to think Fred is "hot". So when you're predicting the still far off election with your Dickie Morris brand sliderule, don't forget to figure in the "hot-ness" factor.

I credit my 13 year marriage to Mrs. Shutterspeed for these observations;-)

My talk is talk of realism..

Preparation for strengh and power will win; NOT oblivious delusion..

Hitlery WILL BE ELECTED.. the prep work must be done..
to saddle her massive left wing error about the whole democrat partys neck..
NOT JUST HERS..

RINOs MUST be rooted out and exposed.. or America is toast..
Unless YOU WANT complete socialism.. that is possible..

Yeah, you get prepared. Batten down the hatches and store food or whatever it is you do to prepare for the coming Armageddon.

Good luck! :)

im going for Huckabee, his honesty was hard to crack. He was articulate, calm, cool, well dressed, and spoke with Reagan era confidence.

If he decides to run money will be no problem, grass root support will be no problem, only the other running Repubs, Living room leftistes, and its fellow travelers-media will be against him

I used to think that Newt was the most qualified to be President but his baggage is too heavy and he has sucked up to Hillary at different times, plus some of his current views leave a lot to be desired. The difference with Fred and even with Newt, is he speaks with the least amount White Noise. His leadership qualities are his clear thinking and then his delivering in words those clear views. Many American are sick with the White Noise speeches. They want to understand why their government is doing what it is doing. If you want the best candidate then focus on who can win against Hillary or Obama and speak to the real America. They will come out if they understand what is at stake.

“It’s discussed extensively on multiple threads daily. No offense to you if you didn’t know, but I’m sure you can imagine that it gets rather tedious repeating it over and over again.”

Yeah, got it. I’m late to the party apparantly.

I give you our own Rick Santorum

People from PA say he was a good conservative but an @sshole as a guy and that’s why he lost. Nobody liked him.
People like Fred Thompson, he has an attractive personality.
