Fred is not Dead

[TeenageRepublican]

What happened in Iowa has made me even more excited.

The Paulbots for the longest time before all this happened were trying to convince us that Ron Paul would win. It was a long debate between Paulbots and Fredheads/Frednecks. A few days earlier, I betted my brother $100 that Fred Thompson would beat Ron Paul and that he would be at least 3rd. Guess who just got that money? :evilgrin:

My brother told me "Fred is Dead" in a political way while we were betting. Apparently, he ate his own words when Fred beat Ron. I also managed to convince him that Fred Thompson was just as conservative as Ron (I know he's not, but I did it to get my brother to join us) and that they're both alike in alot of issues. The only issues they disagree on is the Iraq War and the Death Penalty. My brother's still a Paulbot, but he will be a Fredhead/Fredneck soon.

I just want to make this clear for EVERYONE:
Fred is NOT Dead!

Fred is trying a new approach, instead of talking to the public, he goes within the public. Instead of waiting for the press, which is why he isn't getting attention. I feel the farther West he goes, the more popularity he will recieve. Colorado's a Fred state and I believe Wyoming will soon be converted because we're so close.
SNL hates Fred with a passion, so he must be doing something right. I haven't seen them do Ron Paul skits, just Fred Thompson skits.

My dad's a Fredhead and my brother's slowly transforming. Maybe the Paulbots have learned that Ron Paul still has no chance of getting elected.

This is a happy rant that for once it isn't about how well Ron Paul is doing.

The media and the left fears Fred, that is why the reporting on Fred is dismal.

Such a thing is perhaps a good indicator of who the left believes to be the real contender. (For instance [though dissimilar], on the eve of the first Bush election, all of the hotels in Austin were booked while available rooms were plentiful in Tennessee. Suggesting that the left expected Bush to win.)

I wouldn't say that Ron Paul is more conservative than Fred. Libertarians are generally fiscally/economically conservative but socially just as far left as the Dems. I reached the conclusion some time ago that they're basically half of a conservative, as to be legitimately conservative, is to be both fiscally/economically and socially/culturally conservative.

Yeah, that...

But at the same time, I really wish the media would start giving him the attention that he deserves. They're so scared of him, that whenever Fred appears the media disappears...

My theroy is that libertarians are conservatives who have gone so far right that they have come full circle. I don't know how that's possible, but apparently they have achieved it.

Yeah, that...

It's because Fred carries the key...the key to destroy Oprah and her minions. He's seen her real side...he knows the truth...

He knows what Oprah did last Election Year...

Seriously, I don't know...

TR brings up a good point about FDT. Which brings me to my COMPLETE frustration with the GOP voting population. If they did a tenth of the research required to be an informed voter they would have seen Sen Thompson for who he is and there wouldn't be any confusion whatsoever as to who the best candidate would be. But like 99.9% on the left who get their talking points from the DBM, many in the GOP are guilty of the very same thing.

No way Huck, Rudy, Romney or even McCain would be polling above 10% if conservatives didn't get their info from the DBM, or in FDT's case the lack of info.

The media and the left fears Fred, that is why the reporting on Fred is dismal.Every media appearance on FDT seems centered around how "disappointed" conservatives are with him not being the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan that they perceived him to be. I like to think of FDT as a Jeffersonian-Reaganite who recognizes both the need for federalism AND the need to continually strengthen the US military.
