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?

“I’m not sure what McCain’s foreign relations experience is.”

He has none.

“And it has been rumored some former candidates have actually made people disappear.”

WHAT?!

“I left after 200+ replies.Now I’m backi. Has there been an announcement yet? Was it about somebody’s baby’s birthday, as indicated by some posts above here? Well, that would certainly be a surprise!”

LOL

I wonder if this thread will still be going when FDT is back starring in LAW AND ORDER: CAMPAIGN FINANCE DIVISION .

~BUM-BUMP~

He has none.

So, 30 or so years in House and Senate, ranking member of Senate Armed Services Committee is none? I guess that would make Romney's foreign relations experience about a minus 10.

“Besides letting himself be taken prisoner of war while his father was Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Command “

I’m not supporting McCain for the nomination, but I think that remark was really ghastly. He was a tortured American POW, for heaven’s sake. Show some respect.

...surprise the pundits with a superior showing, the attacks will follow.

...and with the attacks, hopefully some greater interest/more support. :)

“I would hope the Republican primary voters won’t force me into the box canyon of no one to vote for in the general election. It will be interesting to see the first actual results.”

I thought Fred had already won.

Is it true that the announcement was a belated admission that Fred was really the Freddie of Freddie and the Dreamers?!

It’s division. Division between the fiscal conservatives and the social conservatives. Everyone in the race is a fiscal conservative except Huckabee, and he’s the only certifiable social conservative. Those Freepers who are primarily social conservatives are going for Huckabee, and could care less about his liberal policies in certain areas, because all they care about is abortion and gay rights. Those Freepers who are primarily fiscal conservatives are splitting their votes among the other candidates. None of the candidates is both fically and socially liberal, except perhaps Hunter, who simply doesn’t have what it takes to be elected President.

Instead of reading 630 posts, can anyone tell me whether the big announcement has been made yet? Thanks.

Current FR Poll.... I'd guess mostly conservative, and mostly voters.

More than a few of us have had to abstain from the current poll... How about a "None of the Above"?

“This comment was uncalled for..

The poster is obviously an American citizen who sacrificed 20 years in the military so you could post this garbage.

And please don’t respond with ‘I was only asking a question’, because I’m not that naive, or anyone else for that matter, to think you wouldn’t know.”

Most military people I know don’t act like a-holes.

He did.

Hence, the still unanswered question.

Keep in mind it’s New Hampshire — basically MA-lite.

That said, I would trust crazy McCain over Romney, too.

At least he’s honest about being a liberal.

“Nobody ever set me up in a business that made me 300 million bucks.”

And nobody ever will.

“I’ve been out most of the afternoon and don’t want to wade through 500 posts to find out what Fred’s big surprise was. Do you know?”

Beats me.
