If that was an online poll, I think the validity is very much in question.

I would have thought you would have realized by now that quoting fred to me only strenghtens my resistance to becoming a fred groupie. I need to see some action. Debate a candidate. Go on TV shows that don’t treat you like a celebrity.

I knew I could count on you to be the first person to give me a rational calm response to my fred issue! I’ll take it that you DO NOT have a signed framed pair of FRED! skivvies occupying a place of honor in your home?

Really, though, thanks for the explanation. :-)

The location of the fire in your belly….wouldn’t that be your belly? Ok, what am I missing here???

Could be spleen, pancreas, … you have some gall, honora ;)

That’s what I mean, Tony. There was nothing wrong with you doing the VEGAS BABY! thing. The city of Las Vegas spent millions on their commercials to make you want to say VEGAS BABY! They didn’t say use it only when favorable.

Off Topic: A backpack bomb went off in VEGAS BABY!

PattyAnn,
Might back off the enthusiasm a bit there.

He is in for a rude awakening if he thinks the MSM and his opponents are going to be dazzled or put off by his folksy colloquialisms. And I hope he knows that he is not always going to be able to speak to friendly interviewers or have prepared speeches before hand.

On whether he’s prepared to face the onslaught of personal attacks from political/media opponents:

“It ain’t my first rodeo, I’ve seen it up close and personal for a long time. And there will be no tactics or no attempts or no surprises that anybody does anymore in American politics that will surprise me. It’s small potatos. We’re talking about the future of the country here, not somebody’s hurt feelings or embarassment. We’re talking about the next generation. And these other things are extremely minor considerations compared to that.”

The only fire freddie boy has shown so far is the one in his mouth.

Hmm, exclusivity. He is acting top shelf. Ever wait in line for your favorite movie. Ever stand inline to get into a velvet rope club? Would you rush to spoil a dinner with a McDonalds when you when you can have filet mignion for Dinner?

Depsite your hatred and impatience of him officially not annoucing. Many here will be the first to lift his chair in the air when he does.

Off Topic: A backpack bomb went off in VEGAS BABY! this morning, killing it’s owner. Premature? Targeting Sin City? It was at the Luxor. Perhaps they’re trying to say “We don’t gamble in Egypt!”?

Ahh, Tony, the article doesn’t say the bomb killed it’s owner. The bomb was placed on top of a car, who’s owner was killed when he tried to remove it. So the bomber set the backpack on the roof of his intended victim’s car. Apparently.

csdeven, say something new or quit reading Fred! threads. We got your point. Now you’re just trolling.

On today’s Novak article about Fred’s lackluster performance at the Lincoln Club, I’d say it was mostly disappointment that he didn’t use their crib to announce. Aside from that, why should he present passionately until he has announced? I’ll take someone who says the right things with charisma held in check, over a Clinton who passionately sold us a bill of goods.

Metro police said they were treating the incident as a ”homicide with an unusual method”. I guess kinda sorta like a terrorist method?

“I’m not going to be the tallest midget in the room”

–$$$-quote

”Without naming names, he suggested that as the nation’s problems are growing, political leaders ”are getting smaller.”

–reality-quote from Zetterson’s link. I agree with Novak’s assessment, but I know better, and honora’s reaction is a perfect thermometer about this man entering the field. No one bothers her more than Fred!

btw, honora, if you would have watched the video, you’d know that the smile-caption is just a fraction-of-a-second clip, from an entire interview, in context. Your focus on looks is very puzzling, as a liberal, as an intellectual, as a human-being in general, and as someone who lectured us on not focusing on Mrs. Clinton’s looks.

I think it’s pretty fair to say, there are people who have looked at your career and say he isn’t the most aggressive, out there, lay it on the line, 100 miles an hour after the goal kind of guy. I guess you can’t casually run for President.

–csdeven? just kidding buddy :)
