Fred Thompson Isn’t Broke

Posted on January 9, 2008

Lets just end the meme once and for all that Fred Thompson’s campaign is hurting for money. How about second place in the third quarter? Second only to the millionare Mitt Romney. How about $12,828,111? Now, can we please shut that meme up?

I understand why you want to end the meme, but the evidence you offer is pretty weak.

If you look in the next column, you’ll see that he had already spent half of that $12m by the end of Sept. And that was a looong time ago. I’ll bet my life savings that he’s already spent every penny of the remaining $6m.

So the question is, how much did he profit in Q4? Seeing as how the quarter has been over for a week and they haven’t even hinted at their numbers, I find it highly unlikely that they are impressive.

If the meme weren’t true, they would have quashed it already by filing early.

Fred is actually pulling in about 80,000 a day with his little red truck, tell him to keep the truck up it really helps him. sometimes 100,000 a day but we need to keep it going and keep giving to him. One time giving is not enough for a candidate to win. Obama’s people give weekly and monthly. We need to all do the same. wink!

Even you guys in Wyoming and Iowa need to keep giving, in order for any candidate to get elected. LET’S do this! Give weekly 25 or 50 or bi weekly or once a month. Anything will help I give weekly. And I am a Single working Mom too. If I can do it, there is no excuse for the rest of YOU!

Fred’s dead. His campaign just called South Carolina Fred’s version of “Custer’s last stand”.

He’s exactly like Reagan, except he’s a loser.

Ron Paul 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I Just gave $1500 to Ron Paul’s campaign over the internet.

Fred Thompson supporters are too poor to help their own candidate apparently. No wonder his campaign is in the toilet. $25-$50 per month is all you can give? Are you on welfare???

Ron Paul for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE LET THE PEOPLE VOTE! That is what counts in the end and one of the points Fred is trying to make with his campaign. If you really believe that the person who has the most money should be our next president, then God help us all.

Where is all that Ron Paul money? Is it made up like his support?
