hi fred

You tell 'em Fred!

Right! THAT was the guy I wanted for president.

I still have my Thompson '08 bumper-sticker.

Never had the chance to put it on my car because it arrived in the mail the day after he dropped out.

It wasn't Fred's time, it seems, to be president. Hope he is in McCain's cabinet.

I still don't really now who this guy is.

Don't ask me where Fred was. I'm still trying to find Duncan Hunter.

I still don't really now who this guy is = I still don't really know who this guy is.

I think Fred realized that he really didn't want the job, and didn't want to just say, "Sorry, I was only kidding folks."

Asshole on Fox, whining about Palin.

/says Huckabee would have been better, *chortle*

I get the feeling that he was pressured into running. McCain has a way deeper cabinet bench.

re: #6 zombie

I still don't really now who this guy is.

He write's conservative articles about the issues. More of a federalist type.

I really don't think Fred was well during the primaries (wasn't he fighting leukemia?). Look at his face in this video—he looks less haggard and like he's gained back weight.

Fred has been a much better non-candidate than a candidate. His speech at the convention was great, as is this video.

And his wife does Team Sarah! Here's their latest ad - it's about Obama winking at folks like Ayers.

I think Fred's problem during the primaries was that he thought about the tradeoffs of being president: "Hmm. I can have a job that ages strong men 20 years in the space of 8, I can suffer abuse from all sides, and I can be the target of constant plots on my life; or, I can avoid the hassle and be an actor and play slap and tickle with my hot young wife all the live-long day. Hmmm."

re: #7 OldLineTexan

Don't ask me where Fred was. I'm still trying to find Duncan Hunter.

Duncan Hunter is out actively campaigning for his son, a Marine veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan who is running for Hunter's seat, and travelling the country campaigning for other Republican congressional candidates.

There is more than one front in this war.

Duncan Hunter is a true statesman. If only he was better known.

Fred's a man. Not a mannequin, like the thing that a certain party nominated.

I was all set to vote for Fred in the Florida primary but he dropped out before it happened. He really did seem like his heart wasn't in it. He probably has way too much common sense to subject himself to that media anal exam they give presidential candidates.

An awesome video though. Lays out the situation clearly without hyperbole.

Don't let the skewed Obamedia polls keep you down. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR McCAIN / PALIN ON NOV. 4!

re: #19 midwestgak

Duncan Hunter is a true statesman. If only he was better known.

McCain dead last.

Who is going to watch this 12 minute video other than people who are already voting for McCain? I'm not trying to disparage it in any way, because I dig the video and Fred, I'm just curious.

re: #8 zombie

I still don't really now who this guy is = I still don't really know who this guy is.

Here is his Wiki page.

Fred Dalton Thompson (born Freddie Dalton Thompson on August 19, 1942) is an American politician, actor, attorney, and lobbyist. He represented Tennessee as a Republican in the U.S. Senate from 1994 through 2002.

He looked like he would be an excellent candidate, but his lackluster campaigning pushed him to the back of the pack faster than Ron Paul's kookiness.

re: #19 midwestgak

[Zombie, you don't also go by the nic Grizzly, do you?]--

From over at [Link: pumapac.org...] :

Bill Ayers refers to cop killers as “freedom fighters.”
Louis Farrakhan refers to white people as devils.
Jeremiad Wright refers to America as AmeriKKKa.
OBAMA REFERS TO THESE PEOPLE AS FRIENDS.

Nicely succinct. They continue powerfully:

These people, these friends of Bill Ayers, I mean Barack Obama, believe a race war is possible. They FEED on the injustice done to poor and minority people in order to convert them as soldiers. They are evil people. They are feeding on the poor. They salivate at the thought of a race war. What kind of evil person longs for violence? They believe the anger they’ve bred among the poor is a powder keg that could explode in a revolution.

AND BARACK OBAMA IS HOLDING THE MATCH.

Do not vote for Barack Obama. Do not let your friends or your family vote for him. Do everything you can to get this message out.

re: #6 zombie

I still don't really now who this guy is.

He's an actor who considered playing the part of a conservative candidate for President of the United States. He just couldn't find the motivation for the role.

Fred is a good actor, and has a great intellect, much like Reagan. Unlike Reagan, though, he is a terrible campaigner. Too bad; I really like him.

Ok, I'm going to get a big "eeyore" from everybody here, but my question in response to Charles' question is...

Where was anyone during this campaign, from the candidate, to other Republicans down to one of the lowliest media hacks in the campaign?

We've seen two major things over the last year. A media that is som much in the tank for the Dem that it screams it on every front page of every newspaper, web site and TV program on a daily basis, and probably one of the most lackluster campaigns form a Republican in the history of the party.

My 2 cents.

re: #29 newsjunkie_ky

OT News..Which puppy did you pick out?

Fred was running as he did long ago. The rules had changed and he didn't really recognize that fact fast enough. Also McCain was his good friend and I believe McCain's early success in the primaries changed the landscape for Fred.

There was no reason to select a candidate in January, months before an election. But that is how it now is. Don't think Fred thought he should get involved that early.

In many ways, he was the real adult in the campaign, a bit less willing to go along to get along. He would have made a fine President because he has the temperment and is willing to remain firm on issues.

What he said here...even speaking to the choir as someone said, needs to be said because sometimes the choir thinks they are a solo act in their beliefs.

And it also allows me to e=mail it to everyone on my list and tell them to forward to everyone on their list, etc. It could reach a lot of people, not only the choir.

I would have preferred Fred Thompson over John McCain, but I don't think his chances would have been better in 2008 against Obama. 2008 was going to be a Democrat year. You just can't get around the reality of the economy cooling or stalling or whatever it is doing, the unpopularity of George W. Bush and the fact that he has been in office for two terms. Add discontent about how Iraq was handled and you can't get around it. Oh, and there is also the fact that this really is the Apocalypse, the Seventh Seal is broken, and its time for eight years of pure, delicious crazy.

Fred looked too thin initially. I think some bozo had him on a diet. Unfortunately older guys don't look so good when they lose too much weight. He looks better now. Probably feels better too.

I agree. Until McCain chose Palin, he was doomed. Even for a while after that, McCain failed to distinguish himself as a political fighter. He waited way too long to take the gloves off, and to court the real conservatives.

Fred's point about class stasis in a leftist society is well taken.

Leftists are all about stasis. The biggest NIMBYs in the country--the people who argue against growth, against drilling for oil, against developing resources, against permitting people to add onto whatever they've got--are leftists.

That's cause progress involves Creative Destruction. Leftist like "security," uncertainty frightens them. They would gladly give up liberty for security.

I would perfer it that way. It would help me get back a little faith in the American voters.

Where was this Fred during his campaign?

The problem with Fred, Charles is that even though I believe he is true to his conservative convictions and believes what he says-- you are looking at a rehearsed recording form an actor.

He's not too bad when he is impromptu, but he seems to need time to write and produce these pieces of brilliance.

There were a few regulatory factors that lead us to this problem.

Another more recently repealed regulation (around 2005) used to restrict speculators short selling financials.

re: #62 Walter L. Newton

My perception is people looked at how Bush and Co was getting continually raked over the coals for all ills real or imagined, a relatively unpopular war, a lackluster economy, a hostile Dem controlled Congress, hostile press, hostile bureaucracy, etc etc and had difficulty getting ginned up for the buzz-saw of presidential politics. I think its easier for the Dem's to get excited about gaining power versus conservatives getting excited about shrinking government and all that other really hard to do stuff.

Fred Thompson was a client of the talent agency I worked for back in the late 80's. He'd stop by the office quite often, and I remember him being smart as a whip, polite, and genuinely friendly. IIRC, he made it a point to know everyone's name, and to say hi as he came through the office.

I liked him then, and I like him now. Good man.

Hannity's radio show has become a joke. He reads the headlines on Drudge and good blogs (like this one) and then talks about them. Then he takes millions of calls of people saying the same thing. Then he repeats himself over and over and over again.

He's a self-promoter; plain and simple.

Always be skeptical of anyone who tells others how humble they (themselves) are.

Indeed. He's okay to check in on here and there, but I really can't listen to him anymore. It's boorish.

Bill Clinton said the same thing, only he wasn't so specific and he raised taxes. Many voters are too young to remember.

Barack Obama will NOT cut taxes on anyone.

So, Al Gore has gone to Florida to stump for Obama.

Maybe that explains the record low temperatures set there today.

The low temperature Wednesday at Archbold Biological Station reached 35 degrees, breaking the previous October record low of 38 degrees, set on Oct. 18, 1977. The mercury dropped to 38 degrees Thursday at Archbold.

The same Canadian high pressure system that delayed the Rays/Phillies World Series Game 5 in Philadelphia set records for cold temperatures from Tallahassee to Fort Myers, said Sharp.

re: #159 Killgore Trout

This was an interesting Clinton statement:
"For example, today she gave the most detailed position I've seen on what we ought to do on the finance crisis. She said we ought to follow not the Resolution Trust Corp. model for dealing with these homes and commercial properties. We ought to go back to the Home Owners' Loan Corp. that was a product of the Depression. That actually made a profit for the American people by stabilizing a disastrous run on the market for financing homes. She's out there working hard for Senator Obama. But no matter who wins, we've got to shelve the politics for a while and work on the substance.

From another link:
"In the early 1930s, nearly 50 percent of all mortgage loans were in default. In 1933, the Congress established the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation with the following goals: (1) Protect homeowners from foreclosure; (2) Relieve homeowners of the higher interest and principal payments incurred during periods of higher property values and higher earning power; (3) Declare that it was a national policy to protect home ownership; (4) Impose the least possible cost on the federal treasury; and (5) Avoid injustice to the investor.

HOLC, established in 1933, was a temporary corporation which restored liquidity and stability to uncertain mortgage markets. HOLC acquired and refinanced over 1 million troubled mortgage loans—about 20 percent of all mortgage loans in the country. HOLC only rescued current mortgages for three years, 1934-37, stopping a panic among banks and other financial institutions."

Of course. It astounds me to think that the Dems believe they can raise taxes (i.e. costs) on business and not expect the business to pass the increase along to the customers. If the cost of plastic goes up, hmmm.....the cost of the product using that plastic goes up. Why would they assume taxes would be any different?

Anyone notice the "traditional" Gallup is closing in on the "expanded" Gallup?

Do I smell that the talking points went out to the Obamatons so that they know to tell the pollsters the "right" things so their BS entries can make it into the traditional sample.

The most vicious negative campaign ads ever? Sen. Elizabeth Dole calls opponent Kay Hagan, 'Godless'

Quite the editorial, that headline is.

Think the original ad was questioning why Kay Hagen had a fund raiser outside of N. Carolina, in Boston no less, and to a group of Anti-God people whose whole political platform rests on NO belief in God. Hagen notes she is a practicing Christian, so exactly what is the reason they would be supporting her when their issue is anti religion at the core?

This is part of the "outside" NC money that Chuckie Schumer probably funneled in to the state to topple another Republican....remember, he is head of the Senate elections committee and 23 Rep seats are up and only 10 Dem seats...and most of them safe. So a lot of money is being funneled to states with Rep. Senators.

Hagen's ads are not exactly innocent...but that she thinks she was accused of being Non-Christian is wrong.....she is just being asked what it is that this group sees in Hagan that they want to support her. And that her state and theirs is 800 miles apart.

Me thinks she doth protesteth too much.

This is their plan. They will raise taxes on companies and insurance organizations. Then, those companies and insurance organizations will do one of two things (or both).
1) They will increase the cost to the consumer
2) Lay people off

Then, the Obamamessiah comes to the rescue and says "Since these evil companies are increasing prices and laying people off, the government will now supply the goods and services they once did"

That is the entire plan. Make it as hard as possible for the free market to work, then "come to the rescue".

(I just made that up, but you believed it, didn't you?!)

Wow.

Now it's well below "rich person" territory, if two married professionals are paying for a house, kids and college, and saving for retirement.

Yessss!

It's tough to tell which Senator I detest the most, but Dodd is right up there.

I despise that fokkin' ol' fossil from West Virgina, Robert the Grand Kleagle Byrd. He's not a the top but close.

re: #257 Desert Dog

Speaking of Murtha....what is the latest on his sorry ass? Is he going to lose? THAT would be the best news of Nov 4th (after McCain beats Obama, of course)

That would be GREAT news even if Obama wins. It would make the day go a little better.

Outta here...
Have a good weekend, {all y'all}!
