Sorry to hear this.

One of the points people made against Fred 8 years ago when he was running for the nomination was that he was sick and would never survive a term or terms as president.

Well here we are.

Anyway my condolences to his family.

Yeah, now Drudge has a link to it. RIP, Fred. His was the first presidential campaign I actually donated money to.

I didn’t know he had cancer. Too bad. He was one of the good guys. And a pretty good actor too.

I’m sorry to hear this. I supported Sen. Thompson when he ran for President and I sent him money. He really “got” the Constitution and could articulate it, much like Sen. Cruz now.

Prayers are on the way for Fred and his family.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.
