GET CONGRESS ATTENTION! CHANGE YOUR W-4 AT WORK AND CLAIM 10 DEPENDENTS SO NO TAXES WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN MAYBE THEY WILL REMEMBER THEY ARE SERVANTS TO WE THE PEOPLE.
For sure, let's get this right and support the candidates that people will actually vote for. Don't force us into the Third Party choice in the real world.

Agreed with all the above comments. Whether Fred Thompson will or will not run remains to be seen. But by his non-commitment thus far, I do not feel it right to put him in the line-up. If he is that serious a contender, then he should "officially" join the fray. That I say in defense of Romney and Giuliani, since they will share much of the same positions as Thompson and therefore deserve a "visible" target on-stage vs. the shadow boxing they are forced into now with Fred remaining in the shadows.
Yes, my support goes to Ron Paul, but I believe in a FAIR race and thus far I don't see many (including this site) allowing for it. They are trying...repeat TRYING to force us into a "which of OUR choices do you like" scenario and "We The People" are getting tired of it. Whether you realize it or not, your exclusion of those perceived as "second tier candidates" are pushing many in their direction as they do not like feeling manipulated.
It is abundantly clear from the Straw Polls thus far who "We The People" are leaning towards, despite the national (solicited) polls. Should Fred choose to officially enter, it would seem thus far that the stage and debates should focus on Ron Paul, Romney and Thompson. But if Fred continues down this path, he really should be removed from any and all of these surveys as it is not fair to those who would be his contenders.
One final note, and I know this will probably fall upon deaf ears or blind eyes, but there really is no need for the name-calling, from ANY side. I'd like to think those logging on are "adults" and can conduct themselves with both maturity and respect. Let's keep the campaign above the belt line, folks :-)
JeffnDallas, God has blessed you by making you a rational individual. Making silly names out of the candidates is childish and immature. Whe I said the same thing a few weeks back, I was ridiculed for making that statement. Oh, and stupid internet jargon should also apply.

Isn't it great that you could vanish from the forum just as easily as you appeared if you don't approve of our posts?
Have a nice day.

FireWing, what's your problem? Do you agree that name-calling is suiteable for adults or not?
