Fred Thompson "Surprise" Announcement today
Fred08.Com ^

Posted on 12/26/2007 7:55:28 AM PST by Onerom99

Rumor circulating on the Fred08 blog that there is going to be a major "surprise" announcement coming this morning.

Perhaps an NRA endorsement or a major political figure?

Is his big announcement the red pickup thing or something else?

I couldn’t agree with you more. There are too many people trying to re-define what a conservative is. They try to pass off as conservatives Romney and McCain and Guiliani.
Real conservatives know better than that.

Politics is as much a campaign of disinformation as it is substantial policy directives.

Again I say.......GO FRED!

My, you are a dunce. The announcement was that the campaign is raising money for Iowa adds. You don’t read numerals and you don’t read words. Must be difficult for you.

“And, I’m wondering what the heck Free Republic would do if Guiliani were the nominee?”

I’d vote for him, but I doubt I’d be a precinct captain or anything. He’d certainly be better than anything the democrats hork up.

“I agree...they are slimeballs. Can you imagine having an Executive Branch filled with these nasty people? A Presidential Cabinet composed of these meanspirited cantankerous Brigham Young clones? A Supreme Court appointee cut from this same miserable cloth?

Boycott a Mormon Government of the USA!”

BIGOT PING!

Did you have to blow the dust off that ages-old BS “stalking horse” line?

It’s called MAKING A JOKE and taking a ridiculous assertion and throwing it back in the face of the accusers. I suppose the humor is lost on you.

I’m not talking to a “they.” I’m talking to a “him,” I believe. Said entity has been on this thread since early on.

“So... 446 posts... have we determined what the big surprise announcement is yet?
Fred’s going to be eating lunch on the road from now on so he can spend more time campaigning?”

“Great answer (extreme sarcasm).”

I hope you weren’t expecting one.

Sorry, I sold my engineering company via Bains, and I know far more than the inside scoop.

It was founded in the 70s with Gov. Romney’s money and connections at Harvard B School — and still serves a lot of state government funds and endowments (e.g., investments for Harvard).

Know all the players there and at HBK Fund (at the time -— the son has taken over there, too).

Basically, it was a place for Romney, Sr. to place his son and keep his money active after his humiliating defeat running for office.

Romney, Jr would never have gotten it off the ground, but for Daddy’s money and connections.

Now, I applaud his daddy. I intend to do the same for my children.

But to try to call Romney, Jr. self-made is a joke — he walked into something he was groomed for his whole life.

Indeed, Romney, Sr. was so bitter after his humilating defeat when running for president, it’s pretty obvious that Jr. is just trying to fulfil the path his dad put him on.
