Keeping Fred
Bob Krumm wants to keep Fred Thompson in the race. So do I. A whopping 5 states with only 5% of the delegates have voted so far, and the media is trying to talk him right out of the race. Dammit, I haven’t voted yet, you bastards! So he hasn’t run the greatest campaign on earth. So what? He’s still the best candidate; frankly, he’s better than the party he’s in. (Granted, that doesn’t take much; being in either of the major parties would qualify him.) Anyway, if there were a Jacksonian Party for real, he’d be my nominee for it.
So anyway, I decided I should give $50. Then I started thinking, “Wait, that’s not even one order of animé. I should bump that up to $100. Yeah. No, wait. I’m saying that making Fred Thompson my next president is only as important as one order of animé? Make that $250…” I had to stop myself from eyeing the $500 button… “It’s just half-a-year’s animé,” that seductive voice kept whispering. I mean, I only make a little over $30k a year.
So, I’m going to spread the load a bit. Help Fred out a bit, will ya? Here’s the link to Fred’08, and here’s the donation page. Don’t tell him I sent you. Not that you can…there really ought to be a comment box on the donate page. Then again it might be counterproductive if folks get too wrapped up in writing a comment, and forget the donation.
Edit: They really need to fix the password generator for the Friends of Fred site. It uses punctuation as a part of the password, and I finally figured out that the “.” at the end of the password wasn’t to end the sentence “Your password is:” it was actually part of the password!

[...] Not for a couple of months, at least. And that’s as far as I’m discussing the campaign on this blog. [...]

You posted at 12:11 and Fred dropped out of the race at about 2:00 pm. Do you think you can get your money back?

Sadly, no. And none of the other candidates excite me. I’m thinking of staying home until November and then voting against the Democrat.
