The only candidate who can win over ALL types of conservative…fiscal, defense, AND social is Mitt Romney. Go Mitt!

Mitt seems to be severely antagonizing the open borders/tax-hiking “conservatives” who support McCain and Huckleberry. And even Fred’s campaign is sending out anti-Mitt e-mails, now. hhhmmm…
Ed Rollins, Huckleberry’s camapaign manager and former campaign manager of H. Ross Perot, is fairly going rabid over Mitt, as well. Just like McCain and Huckleberry!

I gotta tell ya, when McCain hates a GOP member so much…
hhhmmmm…..
From such an amiable guy, too – I mean, gee, McCain gets along so well with Toady Chappaquiddick Kennedy, gets along so well with Hanoi John that he was his #1 pick for running mate…
and keeps telling us how much he admires Mrs. Clinton….

And Huckleberry – so proud of his pastorly kindliness towards Clinton’s admission of whatever that was with Monica Lewesky – “THAT WOMAN”!!!

And they cannot contain themselves regarding Mitt???

Gee, what did Mitt do to gain such animosity from them!

Let me tell my fellow Fred Folk a story about Wyoming.

This post only goes to strengthen my own opinion that Fred is ONLY IN IT TO DRAFT FOR McCAIN.

Because he refused to enter until McCain’s campaign was crashing – yet when McCain instantly rallied, Fred, new to the official race, began turning down NUMEROUS PRIME and also not-so-prime opportunities for interviews that would have set his campaign on fire, claiming he needed to get his structure prepared better – he was beating folks AWAY like flies, all over the USA, all over FOX NEWS, not just O’ – and his campaign essentially went on “Vacation Mode” each time McCain began to thrive!

You made one remark that SEEMED to not appreciate McCain’s finer points – you do know that Fred was his 2000 Campaign Manager???
That often in 2007, Fred repeated that McCain would be a very fine Presidient???

You know that originally, Fred’s name was on McCain Feingold, that he did help write and sponsor it, and he worked perhaps the hardest to push it, that after several different opportunities that Sean Hannity gave Fred to renounce McCain Feingold, he still said it was the right thing to do, but if he had a chance to do anything about it, he’d tweak the financing of campaigns, some more – refused to denounce the attack on FREEDOM OF SPEECH BY COMMON CITIZENS regarding political matters???

EDITED transcript
[I notice the phrase he used regarding Bill Clinton's perjury: "TRIVIAL MATTER" was one of those things EDITED, ~~~OBVIOUSLY~~~ just "for space"]

If I have to keep on telling folks about his vote supporting Bill Clinton, and repudiating the work of 98% of the GOP – plus his chairmanship of the Senate committee ASSIGNED TO INVESTIGATE Chinese donations to the Clinton Campaign funds, which Fred diverted to go witch-hunting for GOP members to form a tit-for-tat blame game, I’m going to go absolutely BANSHEE on Fred and his supporters.

“The vote of your opponents is the most honorable mark by which the soundness of your conduct could be stamped. I claim the same honorable testimonial. There was but a single act of my whole administration of which [the opposing] party approved… And when I found they approved of it, I confess I began strongly to apprehend I had done wrong, and to exclaim with the Psalmist, ‘Lord, what have I done that the wicked should praise me?’” –Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1812. ME 13:162

When this former Watergate prosecutor doesn’t mind voting with the DIMS to support Bill Clinton against LIVE-AIRED PERJURY, refutiating all that our Founding Fahters stand for…

He ain’t the man I will vote for to be assigned the job of appointing Judges.

“JUST A TRIVIAL MATTER”???????

EVERY SUPREME COURT JUSTICE INCLUDING CLINTON APPOINTEES then UNANIMOUSLY BOYCOTTED Bill Clinton’s last State of the Union Address, in protest.

I don’t have to take this aggregious breach of Justice from a FORMER PROSECUTOR who wears the GOP label.

Conservative? of what!!! THE CLINTON LEGACY??????

That don’t remind ME of what I am looking for!

Anyway, Hunter is my favorite candidate, but I was glad to see Thompson win a few counties. Thompson could have done so much better with more campaigning to this state. Romney actually campaigned here and it obviously paid off well. I hope this is a lesson learned for the future, now that the little state of WY is a future player in Presidential politics.

I had about several dozen volunteer leaders from Wyoming – names, addresses, phone numbers, emails. We are organizing for Fred up in Wyoming and a few helping from Denver (including myself).

And guess what? In August, with all the campaign management changes, we stopped hearing from the Thompson Campaign. County/Precinct leaders didn’t get calls they expected. We go no “official” authorization to act, and so could do nothing more. We tried to hand over our volunteer lists to the campaign – and NOBODY BOTHERED to even respond with an email or phone call.

The dozens we had probably do not sound like much to you folks back East, but its a seed that was planted this summer, and in Wyoming, a small state, that seed, if it were grown, would have been enough to capture several more delegates for Thompson.

Fred Thompson lost in Wyoming because his campaign staff depended on cronies and old-boy networks like Cheney, and discarded and ignored the grass roots that got Fred his initial push.

Right now, in Colorado, we are a month away from our caucuses. And I and many others who are fed up with the Same-Old-People, we want to volunteer for Fred, and have indicated as much on the website, have heard ZERO.

Now this isn’t to say that there may be campaign officials in Wyoming and now Colorado for Fred. But I’ll be damned if I have heard them or heard from them.

There is no organization, no people, no NOTHING for Fred in Colorado (or at least nothing/nobody is reaching out).

Absent a huge change, Fred is going to be shut out here in Colorado – Romney and McCain are already organized and locking up endorsements; Giuliani has a lot of big-money folks in Denver that are setting up as well.

Don;t misconstrue this: I really REALLY want Fred to win – he is the ONLY candidate that meets all the conservative points – immigration, border security, defense, smaller government, federalism, pro-life/abortion, taxes/fiscal policy, etc. None of the other candidates have all the right conservative positions. And there are some who I will simply never vote for, namely Paul and Huckabee (and I may not even be able to hold my nose and pull the lever for Giuliani). But the one error the Fred! campaign is making out west is that ***you can’t win if you don’t run***

And right now, in terms of presence, he is not running at all here.

I’ll back Fred to the end (and sent him money Friday, and will send a few hundred more next payday as well), but I fear the end result may be more losses absent a radical change to how his campaign is run.

What ever happened to the candidate that “talked” directly to us grass roots – and the campaign that valued us? I think dropping Mark Corallo was a huge mistake for Fred. Because when he left, the grass roots were thrown out in favor of catering to “professionals”.

Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
