I wonder if “What’s a dollar?” and his family are salivating at the prospect of funneling that $8 million into their pockets?

I have a serious question for the people who have sent Fred money……

What will you think if Fred drops out, converts your contributions into a PAC and then hires his family to administer it?

Didn’t they also blow the lid of Fred’s employment of a jihadist as his campaign director?

Or was that someone else?

I have a friend here in Thailand that is one year, one month, and one day older than me. He looks more like tewnty years older. Smokes (down to the filter, and from wakeup to bedtime), drinks rotgut rum & coke, eats very little, and excersizes nil.

I don’t smoke (never have, except for second hand polution), eat what I want, dive (frequently strenuously), play ten pins (as they call bowling in these parts), and keep the yard under control.

Must be his politics. He’s a liberal. Waiting for the government to do give him “free” health care.

JC Watts would be great as a VP candidate, though there would be a strategic trade off: amazing individual at the expense of having little impact on the electoral college (if we are only considering his home state of Oklahoma). It says something about the quality of the man that I’d probably take that trade. While obviously Steele and Watts are black, what I like about them is they can flat-out articulate a conservative message and be inspiring at the same time. THAT can get the base excited.

which makes him look 24 years older than Mitt Romney when he’s only 4 years older.

Wow, didn’t realize he was only 4 years older than Mitt.

Clinton had swollen glands, etc.

I believe you mean “glans”

Hey, no prob. Nixon had phlebitis, Reagan had polyps, Clinton had swollen glands, etc.

Good one, mate!

Fred’s has admitted that his health is an issue for the campaign. That is why he told us all about it before he ran. I agree with him. If his health can be an issue, then we need to know who the VP will be before the nomination because it’s possible that Fred may not finish out his term.

Bowing to the inevitable, csd?

Keeping my fingers crossed for Duncan Hunter as his running mate.

Didn’t they go after Dole in 96 the same way? He released his medical records. Clinton didn’t, and for good reason. He had more health problems than the wounded WWII vet. ED, sadly, not one of them.

I have noticed that Fred hasn’t exactly looked full of vim and vigor for a few months now. Perhaps it is the lighting or some other reason, but the man looks like he is literally wasting away.

When can we expect the NYT to question Cankles health?

Specifically, her swollen head.

By: pocomoco

NYT questions Fred’s health. The public, and Wall Street, are questioning NYT owner Pinch Sulzberger’s mental acuity.

What’s fair is fair!

Huh??? I’ve smoked cigars for years- you smoke them, not chew them.
Hollowpoint on October 24, 2007 at 7:57 PM

Cigar smoke mixes with saliva and that saliva runs down the back of your throat.
