Did I misunderstand you? Or did you just call me or my posting sleazy?
Already people are getting SICK of the premature stumping around. It’ like celebrating Christmas right after Easter. He’ll announce and not need to back track on statements as other candidates will have to do. Things change and many candidates have made specific statements that will NOT make sense at a later time - especially on IRAQ - guess it’s not a “Bush bumper sticker” after all and PROGRESS is being made through the “surge”.
“Contributions will be pouring in once Fred declares. All this “concern” about Fred’s financial standing is a sleazy attempt to discount his campaign.”
Agree!
I haven’t seen others under such a microscope. They’re grasping at straws to minimize him because he is a THREAT to other GOP contenders.
Agreed, a lot of people are just waiting for him to officially announce. November 2007 would be a good time.
With all the constant media hype about the candidates and all their completely useless straw polls and multiple meaningless debates, Mr Thompson can (sadly) capitalize on the fact that a LOT of American voters are going to be really ticked when the national election doesn't materialize THIS November. I've been doing politics for decades, and personally suspect that voter burn out from a two year long election year is what Democrats are counting on to win. A Fred Thompson candidacy has the potential to counteract burnout and recapture voters' interest.
Maybe, I’ve been on board with Fred but I’m pretty sick of waiting.
After seeing Huckabee get #2 in the straw poll and him being THE FairTax candidate I’m hoping he gets more press now and they quick blacking him out. If he does start to get the press he deserves I’ll go for him unless Fred specifically endorses the Fair Tax by name and not just some crappy lip service to tax reform BS like the other “conservatives” have.
