Rudy could prove he’s not a lib
Mitt could prove his Momonism is not a threat to evangelicals
Tancredo could prove he’s not a curmudgeon
Hunter Thompson could prove he has gravitas

…who else?

We need to run strong against Hitlery but in the end I can’t see anyone voting for her who voted for Bush in ’04.

Tonight was Southern Corn Chowder.

Mmmm. Mmmmm. Good.

ok guys, gotta go make dinner.
csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 7:02 PM

Why oh why dont I believe you……

Make him prove it by cooking something.

Unlike some people, I believe ANY republican is better than ANY dem ANY minute of ANY day of ANY week of ANY year…

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 5:52 PM

I will vote for fred? to be the nominee if he polls best against the dems front runner. I will vote for the republican candidate even if he is the devil himself, because any dem would be the devils wife and that 8itch would be way worse that he would be. :-)

ok guys, gotta go make dinner.

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 7:02 PM

For these two statements I will cook you dinner csdeven, if we win in 2008.

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 7:02 PM

Why oh why dont I believe you…….

doriangrey on June 12, 2007 at 7:25 PM

Oh, dorian…believe him. He’s stated it enough. These Fred! threads are wearing, even on me…the original “fred? groupie” in cs’s eyes. Let’s just all wait and see… ‘Soon as he’s in, we REALLY have something to argue about, yeah?

Run, Fred! Run!

Why oh why dont I believe you…….

That attitude gave us 8 years of the clenis and in danger of getting 8 years of Hillary. And if any conservative stays home, we are one vote closer to getting at least 4 years of Hillary’s commie agenda.

I would love for Mitt, Rudy, and Fred (once he announces his candidacy) to sit down for some podcasts where they just have a conversation. Forget the quiz show/inquisition format, and just let the topics develop naturally.
RushBaby on June 12, 2007 at 6:38 PM

THAT would be awesome!

So if Fred! gets the nomination, will you vote for him?

And I already know you think he is a fakety-fake-fakerino-fakeman. We get it. He’s not, but hey, it’s your funeral.

Just answer the question. Before you said you would vote for whomever the repubs nominate. Does that mean you will vote for Fred if he gets the nomination?

But you seem to have an unhealthy passion for Fred!-hating that makes you ignore things that are plain as day to the rest of us.

Ahhhhh “Seem” is the operative word there.

The rest of us? You’re speaking for the entire community now?

Your obssession with bad mouthing him appears boderline psychotic, and you completely ignore points raised that refute your arguments.

Operative word “appears”.

Just now you said that Fred! “acts like he is the characters he has played”, and when I showed you that he was in fact chosen to play HIMSELF for his first movie, you just ignore that too.

I don’t care. If he plays himself and he’s a fake, how does he playing himself give him any credibility to be president? I’ve seen more fakery from the guy than honesty.

This is a sign of someone who is intellectually dishonest, and you are going to look foolish if you end up having to vote for the guy.

Again, you have no clue who you are talking to and are clearly not paying attention.

Do really want to continue this tirade and then end up with a mouthful of crow when it comes time for election day?
I know I wouldn’t.
Tman on June 12, 2007 at 6:28 PM

If fred? gets the nomination I wont have to eat any crow. He still wont have the experiences to be president. He will still have been an arm twisting lobbyist, and if he drags his pickup truck out, he will still be a faker. He will still have flip-flopped on abortion and will still have a piss poor senate record. Once he actually has to speak extemporaneously, we will see if what his staff says about his inability to speak without a prepared speech is true.

If freddie boy starts losing ground and is eventually vetted out, it will be the fred? groupies who will be eating crow.

So for me, my position is a win-win. :-)

I have read enough of your comments on many topics here at HA that I can vouch for your conservative creds. You have been accused of being a troll, and you are not. I for one appreciate the tenacity of your skepticism and I am taking note of your concerns about Fred. And I am equally taking note of the warnings posted by others with regard to the other candidates – for instance, IrishEi on June 12, 2007 at 2:47 PM. I have such gratitude for blogs; one of their many blessings is that information/experiences/opinions about people, conditions, and events in other locales – that we would never have been aware of – can be communicated and discussed immediately.

I would love for Mitt, Rudy, and Fred (once he announces his candidacy) to sit down for some podcasts where they just have a conversation. Forget the quiz show/inquisition format, and just let the topics develop naturally.

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 5:52 PM

A true conservative, in his/her right mind, would not vote for Giuliani or McCain. It’s like saying … I’m going to go ahead and kill myself, because I’m going to die eventually anyway.

As for myself, I would prefer to see Tancredo as President, but I too am a realist. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to go out and vote for a person I know to be against everything I stand for simply because I know he can win.

I have doubts about Thompson as to whether or not he’s who he says he is, but I have absolutely zero doubt about Giuliani. There’s no mystery there. He’s a card carrying open borders, one world government, baby killing, gun grabbing liberal. I’ll vote for the guy who gives me a little hope over that any day.

Thanks for asking the question instead knee jerking into crazy accusations.

Pot, meet kettle.

A lot of people are mesmerized by actors and believe they are what they act.

Did you read the link? No, you did not read the link.

Here’s what it says.

CAST
Sissy Spacek … Marie Ragghianti
Jeff Daniels … Eddie Sisk
Keith Szarabajka … Kevin McCormack
Morgan Freeman … Charles Traughber

Fred Dalton Thompson … Himself

I think it’s nice that you will vote for any Repub over a dem regardless. I will probably do the same unless the repubs nominate someone worse than McCain. But you seem to have an unhealthy passion for Fred!-hating that makes you ignore things that are plain as day to the rest of us. Your obssession with bad mouthing him appears boderline psychotic, and you completely ignore points raised that refute your arguments. Just now you said that Fred! “acts like he is the characters he has played”, and when I showed you that he was in fact chosen to play HIMSELF for his first movie, you just ignore that too.

I know I wouldn’t.

You’re conservative? So which “conservative” candidate do you support, and are you currently a volunteer or worker on their campaign?
Gregor on June 12, 2007 at 5:18 PM

Unlike the fred? groupies, I haven’t decided yet. 2nd, unlike the fred? groupies, I prefer my candidate to be an actual candidate and not a non-candidate. And unlike the fred? groupies, I expect the candidate I support to have the stones to debate others, answer tough questions from jerks, and accept interviews in hostile environments. Also, unlike the fred? groupies, I don’t appreciate my candidate putting on a silly facade in a lame attempt to fool me into believing he is something he is not.

But in the final analysis, I expect my candidate to have some experiences that translate to the job I would elect him to. fred? is completely vacuous in those experiences. If he were not, I would donate to his campaign (on the condition that he was actually announced as a candidate). I will support fred? (rather than stay home) if the polls indicate that he can beat the dems front runner. Unlike some people, I believe ANY republican is better than ANY dem ANY minute of ANY day of ANY week of ANY year.

Thanks for asking the question instead knee jerking into crazy accusations.

Peace and cheers!

I’ll just buy storage offsets by complimenting AP’s artwork. :-)

fred? being linked to a Cheney is about as bad as being in the same line of work as a guy named Abramoff. Ouchy?

Tman on June 12, 2007 at 4:11 PM

A lot of people are mesmerized by actors and believe they are what they act. I do not and therefore I am not impressed one iota by freds? acting, whether it be on TV or the campaign trail.

SSG Fuzzy on June 12, 2007 at 4:49 PM

Fortunately for you, you actually have to read a comment, so it is within your power to completely ignore me.

Ain’t it cool!?

What’s my deal? I’m a conservative. I don’t give my support to a non-candidate who is presenting himself as an equal with actual candidates who have braved debates, tough questions, and hostile interviewers.

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 1:06 PM

You’re conservative? So which “conservative” candidate do you support, and are you currently a volunteer or worker on their campaign?

It surprised me that you made such an obvious error. ;-)

Tennman on June 12, 2007 at 4:36 PM

Sorry to dissapoint – must shape up :)

My problem is that fred? talks a good game, but he ain’t walking the walk. And until he does grow some stones and opens himself up to the scrutiny that REAL candidates do, he will receive no respect and every bit of criticism that I can muster.

csdeven on June 12, 2007 at 1:06 PM

cs,
blah, blah, blah
We’ve heard it all before many times from you. We all know you don’t like that he’s not a real candidate or has announced yet! We know! We know! Give it a rest okay!

Do we have to hear it constantly and non-stop? We know your point of view on this, you’re just making everyone sick and tired of hearing your non-stop rants. Please stop/wait till he announces, then actually criticize him on his positions!

Thats what cracked me up reading csdeven’s comment. He did play himself in his first role so he obviously does believe he is the person he played. I always get a good giggle out of his comments, people who have such an irrational hatred toward another is quite entertaining.

csdeven, you’re getting close to your storage spewage limit on HA.

It surprised me that you made such an obvious error. ;-)
