He hasn't entered the Presidential race yet, but Fred Thompson, yesterday, showed us why he's the scariest Republican Presidential candidate. And maybe the scariest of both parties.So you'd rather have the 'Beast, Barrack Hussein Obama, or gun-grabbin', abortion-fundin' Ruity, because...because...Fred's campaign manager, who has nothing to do with Fred's policy positions, has been accused by a blogger of dubious credibility of being an islamonazi shill. That says a lot more about you than it does about Fred.

What difference does it make?
Either way you get a conservative, right?
I too, was for Fred. You can look back and see that.
Anyway, he is not yet a candidate, much to his detriment.

Despite what we all think about Spencer Abraham and Thompson's hiring of all of McCain's and Bush's people, he's probably being smart since he's quietly plugging into the nationwide GOP machine (such as it is) and putting all of his pieces into play.
Abraham, despite his weakness as a politician and bureaucrat, IS a fairly successful GOP apparachnik and knows all the state and local power brokers across the country. Fred is probably calculating that if he can win the primary with this team, then all of us will fall in behind him when he finally takes on Hillary and/or Obama. Is he right?

I'm skeptical about these sudden anti-Fred conversions. Ditto that.. just look at the post history of all these sudden anti-Fred conversions..

Fred Derangement syndrome on parade.Excuse me? So if I dare to ask a question as to why Fred even associates with such folks (by hiring them), I am automatically labeled as suffering from "Fred Derangement syndrome"?
Good grief.
While it probably is true that campaign managers do not draft policy, it seems to me that if I were a political candidate, I would hire folks to run my campaign who hold similar political views. Not perfectly similar, but in the same ballpark.
I would vote for Fred, if the election were held today, but I have my misgivings.

For Petes sake Fred, what do you think about all the issues we need you to address? Fred has said many times he is not going to give us his platform until he officially enters the race, which he will do on his own time, NOT early, like all the other candidates this election cycle.

CMs dont draft policy period. That is, until their candidates get elected, and they move into high level jobs in his administration.

Fred Derangement syndrome on parade. Hes his co-campaign manager for crying out loud, if you have an argument to make approach it on those terms. CMs dont draft policy period.
They don't?
Tell that to Karl Rove.

To: samtheman
I guess my philosophy is this...
Don’t worry about the general election.
During the pre-primary conservatives should push as hard as possible for the most proven conservative candidate based on voting record and/or accomplishments. Who cares if they seem unelectable at the time.
If we truly believe that our ideas are better than it shouldn’t matter who are nominee is as long as they can clearly articulate that vision for America.
Number two, conservatives/republicans are going to vote for the R candidate no matter who he/she is anyway — if it’s Rudy vs. Hillary, I’m voting for Rudy - even though I can’t stand him
So why not push for a hardline conservative in the primaries?
Go Hunter!

I agree entirely with your post. I also like Hunter, but I'm supporting Fred. What I'm tired of are the "OMG, Fred did that? Well, he's not getting my vote" people who fly off at the nitpickiest stuff. Fred's going to jump in, and he's going to debate, and he's going to tell folks exactly what he is about. People will either support him or support someone else. I cannot repeat this often enough - THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME FOR FRED TO GET IN!

We had HSWs, now it’s DHSWs, RPSWs, MRSWs, heck, I think we even have some Stormfronters popping back up.. I wonder what’s next???

I was not singling you out but rather making a general comment on the first half dozen or so comments.
To: GulfBreeze
Fear not, Uncle Fred knows when to Hold U’m. He sure has all the others around the table that have anted up wondering if he is going to call, raise or fold.
Don’t show your hand too soon when the pot is lite.

Well, its about time. He is losing supporters by hiring Bush people and waiting till he feels like it.
Frankly, I am tired of waiting. His wait is starting to hurt him.
However, I would not blame him or any other Republican for not entering before a YouTube debate. LOL!
