Right Said Fred
December 28th, 2007 at 6:38 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesI really did mean to participate in the Fred Thompson blogburst yesterday. Fred is really the only option we’ve got and if we sit by and let Suckabee or Romney lead the party, we might as well just cross over and become registered Dim-O-Cracks.
And this argument can’t be denied:
I think Fred Thompson is awesome. I tell people, “Fred Thompson is awesome.” One person was like, “No he isn’t.” So I punched him in his face and said, “That’s for saying Fred Thompson isn’t awesome! That’s why I punched you in the face!” Then I kicked him. Then the police came. They said, “What happened here?” And I said, “I punched this guy because he said Fred Thompson isn’t awesome.” Then the police arrested me for insufficient assault. I was like, “That’s not an actual crime!” And they said, “We also planted drugs on you.” And they put me in jail and I yelled, “Come on! Let me out! It’s Christmas!” And they said, “It’s not Christmas anymore.” And I said, “Well, I’ve been pretty drunk and lost track of what day it is.” Then SarahK came and bailed me out of jail. She’s mad and won’t talk to me now.
Donate to Fred now. Time is of the essence.
And for just a few easy payments, you’ll get the following:

That video has about got me to whipping out the credit card.
Why the change of heart, P-Diddy?

Not really a change of heart, B-mac. I’ve always been a Fred Head, though I’ve supported the Tanc as well. Fred is really our only option. As soon as the holiday whiskey haze wears off, I’ll be penning a run-down of the GOP candidates and why Fred is the only choice. Though hitting Suckabee is like shooting fish in a barrel.

The Huckster is the media’s preferred RINO. They dig glib answers and a youthful face which Fred is lacking.
When you see who liberals hate and save all of their personal insults for (and their wives) then you know who your candidate is.
If Fred makes it out of Iowa in 2nd or 3rd he should be in the clear. He didn’t have the organization but it’s kind of like Othello. He’s inheriting the organizations through endorsements of the representatives in the area.
For all the talk of Hollywood Fred or Gucci Loafer Fred, it’s important to note that Hollywood came to him not vice versa. And as is the common theme, the snooty snot-nosed Northeastern country clubbers hate anybody with a southern drawl crashing their party a la Andrew Jackson.

You guys know I’m a Huck supporter and I think he gets a great deal of negative dings against him since he propelled to the top. I thought a few months ago he’d make an excellent VP but he has since risen. I do think he’s a little green on foreign policy, but that can be solved by surrounding himself with solid people. That being said, I’ve been taking a closer look at Fred, starting from when Preston sent me an email a while back and I like Fred as well. I think in terms of rhetoric, it’s fine to hammer away on policy differences, but the big picture is we all need to fiercely rally around whoever wins our nomination. Sincerely, though, if Duncan Hunter had a shot at the nomination, I’d be voting for him. I just feel that right now Huck is the best bet in the general election. Again though, should Fred be the nominee, I’ll be banging the drum as loud as anyone. Same goes for Mitt and Rudy. This is an absolute must win.

No offense Cao, but I don’t need a tax-hiking, open-borders, nannystater leading the party. I’ve already got a liberal Republican president now, I really don’t need another. And I certainly don’t need one that likes setting murderers free and panders to Evangelicals. And, yes, I realize that “Suckabee” is immature and crass, but without immature and crass, we would have no blog.
Just go ahead and get on the Fred train while it’s stopping in your station. Leave the Suckster in Arkansas where he needs to stay.

Heck, I’d love to “get on the Fred train”…but I don’t see that train leaving the station. If it ever does, I’m on board. That train should have left the station 3 months ago…
Still a Rudy guy…though I am seeing his train running out of steam…
Anyone see Novak’s column yesterday pimping McCain? Ugh. I’ll not link to it since I have some exciting high school girls basketball to coach…find it your damn self…

Mike Church coined the best phrase of all for Suckabee… “The Arkansas Aesop”. The man can only answer a damn question with a stupid parable or some lame, fable-like story. It will end badly for this country if the Republican Party nominates Mike Huckabee. And this time around, I don’t give a rat’s ass what my man Chuck Norris has to say about “Huck”.
