Random observation on the Prez race
Everyone keeps saying Fred! Thompson is done for. Fred! is finished. Yet, he’s always the target of the the dirty tricks, like this recent push poll and Romney’s dirty pool. If he’s done, why the all-out-push against him?
And Fred! has the Phelps endorsement.

I agree that it is strange. The press seems to have had it out for Thompson from day one. I think they want Romney to run, since they figure they (the dems/press, same thing) can beat him.
Notice how they couldn’t stop referring to Obama as a “rising star” over and over and over again during his senate run. That sure started to grate.

Because Republicans understand that when your opponent is drowning, you throw him an anchor.

I’ve never sent any Presidential candidate money…..before now. Fred is up to over 100.00.

I recommend you look at Paul. He’s more conservative than Fred, and the only issue most conservatives disagree with him on is the war. If Paul was pro-immigration then I could understand the hesitancy, but why support the war which has really no positive effects for the American people? At least immigration has ‘some’ positive arguments, but this war is doing so much harm to our military and national defense. It’s like bush gets a free pass on all his other liberalisms because he keeps the boys in Iraq?
Paul’s position is stronger on national defense than anyone else: he advocated for a fence on the southern border backed by the military. Don’t make the mistake of equating the iraq war with homeland defense – pick the true conservative running for president.

“I recommend you look at Paul…”
No chance. Throwing in with Paul is a good way to get Hillary vs. Romney in November.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Uncle might have already heard of Paul. He tends to keep on top of those little political issues like national elections. 🙂
People say a lot of stupid things.

Fred doesn’t play well to the ignorami, unfortunately they outnumber everybody else.
However, he is my choice.

Fred wasn’t looking too good after New Hampshire, but I think the idea of a Huckabee or McCain victory scared the shit out of enough people to start sending Fred some real money. Before Michigan, the Republican money machine’s preferred choice wasn’t looking too good either.
Fred needs to win South Carolina, and then I think he can pick up some momentum. I’ll get behind McCain if Fred doesn’t pull it out, because I think Huckabee or Romney would be that much of a disaster. I’d consider McCain a minor disaster. Less minor if he picks Fred as his running mate, considering McCain is already 72, and I can’t imagine spending years in the Hanoi Hilton is good for longevity. Come to think of it, the White House probably isn’t much better. McCain’s VP pick is going to be important.

I’d actually vote dem if I thought that my gun rights were secure. That would give us a four year Carter-esque disaster, to be quickly replaced by a Reagan-esque president (with gun rights) after that. It seems to be the way things have to go, unfortunately.

huckabee is too smooth for fred to get ahold of. I think huck will take south carolina.

“Reagan-esque president (with gun rights)”
Uhm, remember 1986 gun ban?
Paul has beat Fred twice now, and 91u1ani 2x too. I think think the arguments against his electability are out the window now.

Paul is unelectable, especially with the Lew Rockwell newsletters tagging behind him like a bit of TP from the men’s room stuck to his heel…

Oh, I thought you meant the FRED Phelps endorsement!
