Does anybody have any idea what the ‘cs’ stands for?
Maybe it should be ‘FoS’ !!

If you haven’t subscribed to FRED!’s podcasts yet, I strongly urge you to do that and have an unfiltered listen to the Man for yourself.

Dispite what our local color rabid anti-FRED!ite commentator continually regurtigates at every friggin’ opportunity (never forget folks that he’s 10, count ‘em!, 10 steps ahead of all us FRED! Groupies), you really should hear things straight from the source.

Personally I cannot find anything that I disagree with FRED! about. That’s just me, and like I say, I’m definitely a proud card-carrying FRED! Groupie.

As opposed to someone so desperately frightened by just the very possibility that FRED! might actually run for POTUS that anyone who expresses even a passing interest in said candidate is branded a mindless Groupie. And any kind of self-defense by said Groupie is responded to with LLL-like whining and attempts at portrayal as the victim. Every. Single. Time.

Personally I can’t wait for FRED! to get out and get some tough questions, if for no other reason than to prove the rabid one’s claims to be as empty as his endlessly repetitive rhetoric.

csdeven – Can you stop spamming these threads long enough to rub two brain cells together?

Not jumping on the fred? bandwagon is not spamming or trolling.

Fred is an exciting candidate who speaks in a common sense manner that appeals to many of us.

Yeah, me too. But TALK is all it is. He’s done nothing. He’s said nothing that hasn’t already been said by actual candidates.

He admits his shortcomings (McCain/Feingold) and addresses many issues, such as immigration and fanatical Islam, that indicates he truly understands the issues confronting this nation. He has the natural charisma of Reagan that none of the others approach. His no-script, one-take response to Michael Moore was perfect!

After hearing his former staffers talk about how this guy cannot speak extemporaneously, I seriously doubt the claims he is making about the video. Just like his trip to Israel, the pickup truck fakery, his scripted speeches, and his softball interviews, these are lame attempts to head off the questions that he will face when/if he announces. It’s about convincing the groupies that he is something he never has been so they will unfailingly support him when the critics start stripping his facade bare. Supporting him by ignoring his obvious shortcomings and vehemently attacking anyone who points out freds? glaring unworthiness to be the CinC.

Fred was initially cast for “The Hunt for Red October” because THEY COULDN’T FIND AN ACTOR THAT MEASURED UP TO THE REAL MAN… so they decided to approach the real man for the movie, and his career continued from there. He didn’t morph into the image to play a part, the parts came to him because they fit his existing image! So stop spamming these threads about how he’s just acting a part.

Does anyone except groupies think that what is presented on the screen is accurate to what happens in real life? Why do you think movie makers don’t just save all the production costs and just role film in real life and present that? Because fake is more interesting than real. fred? is a fake and that is why being a fake comes easy to him and he looks no different on screen than he does when he is staging his opinions to the groupies.

Also, there is something to say for someone who is looking to The People as to whether he should run or not. He seems to realize that the true role of President is as a SERVANT of the people, and not for those seeking power.

Well, I don’t see it that way. I want a leader who wants to be a leader not one that has to be convinced to run. I view what fred? is doing as someone who is only taking a chance on running because he thinks he can fill a role that people want him to fill. He has no original ideas and he is not trying to lead the movement into new directions. He parrots what others say, and only when it’s a position that has already been discussed and scrutinized and is safe.

Thanks for being reasonable. It’s rare.

AHHHHHHHHH!

After Washington served as our first president, there were many who wanted to make him a “king”. Washington set the example by refusing to yield to that temptation and demonstrating the ideals for which he fought, and stepped down, giving that power to another. You have to ask yourself, if tempted as Washington, if term limits didn’t exist, which candidates would volunteer to step down and give up that power…

He’ll have to focus heavily on existing voters, and try to bypass the old MSM to get to the voters (as thats what most old people rely on for news), and work bigtime on voter turnout.

Bad Candy on June 7, 2007 at 12:51 AM

How do you know what “most old people rely on for the news”? How do you know what most old people do or think about anything? I get so sick of hearing what ‘most’ Americans (or old people or any other group) think or want or do with no facts to backup the statement. This is an old liberal trick to try and convince people that the are not in line with what the ‘majority’ of people are thinking. Neither you nor I know what ‘most’ people do or think about anything. Believe me – I am VERY old and I do not rely on the so called MSM for my news. Actually, the blogs like this one and the Washington Times have become my MSM.

Fred! is probably the most exciting presidential candidate to appear in decades. His common sense, honest, competent approach to the issues is a breath of fresh air. I really hope that Fred! is our next president.

omegaram on June 7, 2007 at 11:53 AM

Honestly, how can this discussion be on the mark when fred? is not a candidate?

How do we know he is honest when he faked out Tennessee voters with his fake red pickup schtick?

How do we know he is honest when he blamed his pro-choice position on a staffers clerical error when I have a direct quote right from his mouth?

And lastly, how do we know he is competent? His record in the senate is dismally weak, he failed to nail the clinton/china connection, and he has zero executive, foreign policy, or fiscal experience?

Really, I’d like some clarification on how you come to your conclusions.

McCain leaves a definite impression of, literally, a fool who is trying to advocate a hidden agenda. His actions do not seem consistent with his words, and he appears to be advocating a position of amnesty for the illegal alien.

Oh my god I would love it if he went against Hillary.
SillyRyno on June 7, 2007 at 12:53 AM

Yeah, that would be nice. They’re about even in the empty rhetoric, lack luster performance, fakery, and unqualified to hold the position categories. After that, Hillary has the edge because she has at least debated and can think on her feet waaaaay better than freddie boy can.

Yeah. Bloodbath describes it perfectly.

John Deere owners the left is going to make hay about it.
Limerick on June 7, 2007 at 12:34 AM

John Deere and hay in the same sentence? Did you do that on purpose, cause it is funny.

would Fred even pick him, and is he ready?
Bad Candy on June 7, 2007 at 1:36 AM

I’d rather see fred? pick himself as a candidate first. And apparently even fred? isn’t ready.

One thing going for fred? is that he’s an actor and can communicate? What a friggen dope! Actors are experts at pretending to be something they are not. And freddie boy certainly has that down pat.

fred? isn’t going to give her a line? ALL fred? has done is give lines! And he isn’t going to let her even ask him a question! fred? isn’t a politician? Having to fake out your potential supporters (in the year that the reps sweep into congress because a “D” next to your name was poison) with a phoney red pickup truck schitck is the tactic of politicians. Groupies. Oh. My. Goodness.

Dr. Luntz, please get the names of those two tools and we’ll see what they say after freddie boy has to open himself up for scrutiny and falls flat on his face.

Cheney ripping ol Silky a new one in the debates like the hairsprayed dunce he is.

Bad Candy on June 7, 2007 at 12:22 AM

Good times. :-)

Can McCain suck any worse? The guy has lost his mind.

roninacreage on June 7, 2007 at 12:13 AM

Only when McLettuce/McStain (thanks again Bruce Jacobs @ KFYI) uses the “my friends” comment. Every time he said that my displeasure with him rose.

Frank Luntz was on Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday afternoon (I caught part of that), and he was also on Hannity and Colmes last night. Luntz is a political analyst who uses focus groups to see where a candidate is……

I hope Fred! comes up against Hillary? in the general election and gets a chance to say, “My southern accent is real, ya’ll.”

Point to add. NO non southern presidentual Candidate has won the Presidency since JFK. And he had a Southern VP.

Southerners on the Dems side. John Edwards

So exit question is can the dems win without the south ?

William Amos on June 7, 2007 at 2:06 AM

VERY ASTUTE Mr. Amos>>> and something THIS little girl from South Carolina has been saying since before CPAC.

The South counts and BOTH PARTIES KNOW IT, even if they deny it until the last minute. (The Sliky Pony will show, if not place, in the DNC horse race for the SAME reason.)

A FRED!/ Huckabee ticket *sniffsniff* smells an AWFUL LOT LIKE the math of a Clinton /Gore ticket…hate it though they did…the DNC threw those two together for the pure karma of it all. The RNC COULD DO WORSE…

KERRY was convinced he didn’t need the South and said as much. Do I need to remind y’all that he (blessedly) lost?

Hope we see more of him over the course of the election cycle. He’s for sure much better than that dumbass Sabato.

Thompson/Huckabee

A ticket that normally talk like Jeff Foxworthy? Not like that “multi-lingual” faker on the democrat side? Be still my beating heart!

The CBO says that amnestied immigrants will more pay for themselves in taxes. Oh really? The CBO concluded that the cost of the bill in immigration-law enforcement, border controls and federal benefits to immigrants would be more than offset by……

As for Fred!….He’s my man. Oh my god I would love it if he went against Hillary. Imagine them debating!! Her shrillness up against his Americana-speak. It’d be a bloodbath.

I can’t wait for that first “There you go again.”
