I’m a Fred supporters, but the amount of “I’m taking my toys and going home” coming from some Fred supporters are getting too much.
Rather than having a temper tantrum about how much the GOP voters suck. I think it would behoove us to take a critical look at the candidate. Fred obviously was not a great campaigner, heck, if he can’t beat McCain among Republicans. Why should we think he’d be a slam dunk against the Democratic candidate? Other than just our wishful thinking. Or were we just setting ourselves up for a “the American voters suck tantrum”.
Campaigns are like a business, if you don’t get votes, it’s not because the customers suck, it’s either because your product wasn’t that great, or you didn’t do a good job selling your product. This blame the consumer stuff is lame.
Fred is out. I’m moving on to the next most conservative candidate. Politics is about compromise, not about getting everything you want.
The best conservative?
Jindal for president!
Simple.

No, give them time.
This is a hard thing for people. I watched it with Keyes and Bauer and Forbes and their people here who HATED the phrase “compassionate conservative”. They thought it was a vile corruption of principle.
America will be fine, people. America works about 3 extra weeks per year vs Europe. America’s Midwest can feed the entire planet. America will never have a famine.
The Democrats control Congress. There was not going to be any sort of advancement of the Conservative Agenda even if the whole GOP had rallied to Thompson and he’d won. The Democrats have the majority. That’s reality.
I urge folks to consider the value of brilliance in slowing the agenda of a Congressional majority that will grow in November. Romney’s intellect is the only weapon available against that.
Sorry, the other candidates stink. It wasn’t about Fred. It’s about the survival of the country, and all the others are pandering socialists. America has become a socialist country b/c the GOP has left the fight for Federalism since 1995. Under Gingrich and Bush, there has been , except for talk radio, an unfettered playing field for liberal propaganda. Even most GOP voters have been so dumbed down that they see conservatives like Fred as “scary”. I guess the Constitution is “scary to our enfeebled American population. Bob
You forgot the part about how that is impacted when you have a corrupt and biased media (that includes FOX) who refuses to acknowledge your candidacy. What then when they do everything in their power to skew an election by misrepresenting our convictions and before many Americans even have a chance to cast a single primary vote.
“Campaigns are like a business, if you don’t get votes, it’s not because the customers suck, it’s either because your product wasn’t that great, or you didn’t do a good job selling your product. This blame the consumer stuff is lame.”
I’m in sales and I know that what the customer wants is not always what the customer needs. And that is where salesmanship comes in. Fred was doing it, but the MSM and the faulty start was too much to overcome.
The American voters DO suck, and are a bunch of morons. I mentioned to someone earlier that all because we hang out on political forums in which most of the participants are well above average intelligence, the fact that the average person is a dope is not negated. Look at these phonies Americans chose over Fred. People are stupid.
Truth searched and found! On this topic, that is the pithiest, most reasonable, most logical, and most truthful statement that has ever been posted on this board. Thank you!
