I think, judging by his posting history, it’s just that he (the poster) is a pragmatist— pick one that will have the best shot at winning.
Personally— I think it’s a horrible idea.

I doubt Fred would play second fiddle to a lying liberal from Massachusetts.

Fair tax doesn’t stand a chance in heck, it is one of those Utopian ideals. It would take hundreds upon hundreds of bills and changes to existing programs to make it work. The flat tax is a simple change in rates as is much more realistic.

I wish one of the candidates would nail McCain on that McCain/Feingold garbage
To: georgiagirl_pam
I agree, a lot of criticism towards Fred is based on how he looks and campaigns. Also, a lot of venom directed towards McCain and his age. However, that stuff isn’t necessarily off the table either. Looked what happened to Nixon in ‘60.
Sadly a significant portion of the people do partially base a vote on looks/appearance.

Always good to see you.
Was going to do a live Mystery Science Theater thing over this, but now the Pubbies actually answer the questions so it takes the joy out of it.
To: All
I have taken to not watching debates but just following these threads. It is amusing and useful because the names of the various candidates’ advocates are familiar so you know which comments are praising someone else and which are criticizing his or her own candidate.
That said, “The sooner Fred gets out the better” . . . nah, it is a trial by fire. People drop out when they can’t compete any longer. Everyone gets their shot, or it’s not a trial by fire.

Fred seems old and slow. If that’s what you want in a President, then yeah, he’s Presidential.

No Fred with Rudy as the VP would be the winning ticket.

Watch how everyone else looks at Fred like he’s their father. Especially Romney! Just pay attention.

But what Romney doesn’t realize is this Washington outsider strategy didn’t work for Bush. He ran on being an outsider and won, but didn’t do much to change DC.

McCain has said “change” like twelve times. Do I need to slam the entire beer now? It's freestyle. Follow your bliss!

Fred is my top choice, but the momentum is not going his way. I’m just trying to be pragmatic.
To: TornadoAlley3; rintense
Yep, Chris is cutting Fred off. If Fox News could have pulled it off they wouldn't have included Fred in this debate...
