As anyone who has read even a tiny fraction of my posts on FR knows, I’ll never vote for Giuliani, Romney or McCain under any circumstances. Ever. Giuliani is somewhere to the Left of Hillary, and so is Romney [he just happens to currently be lying about it]. McCain is not an option for me for many reasons, but two of the biggest are A) His disdain for the First Amendment, and B) His love of “bipartisanship.” Unfortunately, Mr. Silverback, there is a pretty strong case for Mr. Thompson suffering heavily from those two same afflictions.
Sorry, but you’re not going to convince me to support Thompson because the rest of the field sucks.
If we don’t have an acceptable candidate, one who loves the founding principles of America and has actually demonstrated clearly that this is so, and also is capable of running a winning campaign, we’re going to have to add someone else to the field.
I played the “lesser of two evils” game in 2000 with the current occupant of the Oval Office, and I’ve seen the results of that. I’m not playing again.
Playing "bypass good candidates until i get someone who agrees with me on every issue" is a big fat loser, too. One would also note that if life issues are important to you, you hit the jackpot with GWB.
