He does kind of remind me of Huckleberry Hound.

He reminds me more of Mr. Haney from Green Acres with a little Jimmy Swaggart thrown in for good measure.

No contest in our house we prefer Thompson and Hunter over any of the RINOs that have been getting most of the press coverage. I like the fact that Fred waited until the traditional time to throw his hat in the ring instead of jumping in early like the rest of the “look at me crowd.” I am getting so burned out on the pandering by the rest of the crowd that won’t do squat, but sell out to the liberals if they were to get into office.

I’m hoping, by the time the convention rolls around, McCain and the rest would have burned themselves and each other out. People would be so sick of hearing them, Fred would have all ears. Personally, I’m sick of them already. Every day, same old,same old. (Not a sermon, just a thought).

As an Arkansas resident who considers himself a pretty good observer of Mike Huckabee, I don’t care for him because he’s a liberal IMO, and I’m not. He’s never met an illegal alien he didn’t like. He did, in fact, release many prisoners, at least one of whom murdered an innocent woman not long after his release. Also, he strikes me as another Slick Willie…smooth, but anything but what he claims to be.

The more I hear from him, the less I like him, and he wouldn’t have a prayer, (OK maybe he would have a prayer), but his chances of winning the presidential election are slim to none.

Republicans have with Huckabee is that he is an honest, candid, principled man

So is Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Baker and Benny Hinn.

What’s up with this nearly universal anti-Huckabee spin? The problem Republicans have with Huckabee is that he is an honest, candid, principled man who is not governed by the Republican machine.

The case is even worse for those who oppose Ron Paul. Paul is the only candidate that possesses the stones to actually say he supports The Constitution of The United States of America. The Republican machine is horrified that such a radical politician even exists! Imagine that: a President who wants to enforce the Constitution! The horror of it all!

So the truth remains that the best candidates are shunned by “the machine.” Too bad one of the outsiders is actually doing fairly well in the primaries.

This looks like an appropriate place for this link: Do yourself a favor and check it out, it's so funny...and true.

The Raging Republican said:
Fred is dead in the water……. Still my first choice for GOP nomination, but it is really looking like he is a waste of a vote.

I really don’t see how it is a wasted vote? Fred entered the race at the perscribed time as all other election’s before. Of course like I’ve said before the Democrap’s have done it again shuffled the unwritten rules around to try and take advantage of the Political climate, what does this tell you about the cavalcade of Republican’s that followed along? With one exception Fred Thompson this tell’s me that he is not buying into this Bull of starting a year before any other candidate before the 2008 election cycle. The Democrap’s have done nothing but try to change all of the unwritten moral and ethical rule’s that have controlled gentlmen’s behavior in the past. How many time’s have we heard the statement “This has never been done before in the history of politic’s” when the Democrap’s pull some bogus BS in the House or Senate. So this is just another thing we can make that statement about. Is Fred the perfect candidate? No but neither was as some one mentioned the name Teddy Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan but look at what great good they did for our country and made themselve’s two of the greatest President’s this country has ever and maybe will ever see. Earlier I was undecided until this last debate and now Fred has earned my vote on Feb. 5

I agree with AJ. This “Fred is too late” stuff could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. With the way front runners tend to fall by the wayside in the nomination process (remember Howard Dean?) Fred’s timing could be just right. I’ve been keeping up with his website and he’s experiencing a BIG surge in donations and new members since the SC debate.

Go Fred!

If you were waiting on a date with Heidi Klum as #1 and Rosanne Barr was #2 would you go for number 2 if #1 was later than #2? I think not, Just because fred chose not to enter a year ago is no reason to pick #2. To late? keep thinking that way and we’ll end up with Rosanne Barr. Fred is the best man for the Presidency Barr none.

Metamucil would be like cryptonite to the Huckster. I mean, the man is so full of crap that his eyes are turning brown. One good shot of Metamucil, there would be nothing left but a hollow shell.

SirKnob, I think you’re pretty much on target here. It looks more and more like he is about as empty a candidate as you can find but, as usual, full of the typical duck and dodge on the issues B.S. as they come.

My problem is, I haven’t been able to figure out the lesser of the other evils to know for whom I am going to vote on Super Tuesday. *sigh*

Go here and listen to Fred respond to Huck’s metamucil comment on Mark Levin’s radio show. Lot’s of good stuff including Mark and Fred’s critique of McCain.

I would like to see Hunter/Thompson or either way round. I’d also like to hear Fred talk about his proposals more rather than how he is going to run his campaign. I’ve heard him interviewed twice and he did not say one thing about what he is for just how he is running a different campaign from the others. Ya, ya, I know I’ve read his website but I’m probably only one of 2% of the public that has.
