I don't know anyone who doesn't like Fred Thompson (other than trolls, whose opinions never count), and the reason I've seen Republican primary voters give for not voting for Fred Thompson is that he didn't come to their state and do a silly little monkey dance to prove how much he wanted to be president. This makes these people to dumb to live.
Reportedly, Fred Thompson will have an announcement tomorrow about his further plans, and I think he should stay in the race. Otherwise, what's our option? To throw our half-hearted support behind Romney? We might as well have one actual conservative in the race to at least remind people what a Republican primary should be about.
Also, it will give us more time to plan our riot.
Fred teaming up with the liberal tool romney would lose my support.
My honest opinion, if Fred drops out, and I hope he doesn’t, is that he will not endorse anyone. I hope he stays in if not just to aggravate the MSM. It would drive them crazy.
I remember a talking head on Brit Hume’s show saying, before Iowa, that we wouldn’t have Fred to worry about anymore. Why would he be worried about Fred? Hmmmm.
What you described — a bail out of failing businesses — is ananthema to conservative principles. Certainly when the problem can be solved simply by moving the plants to right-to-work states.
Toyota is doing fine — in San Antonio.
(Oh, and BTW, I got rich by buying companies with other people’s money and investing in oil when it was $8/bbl. And I didn’t need a government hand out to do it.)
Don’t get me wrong...I am totally against gov’t handouts, including corporate welfare. IMO the main reason for troubles of GM/Ford is unions. But there are a million people making a living in Michigan on auto related business. Besides there is all that infrastructure to make auto’s. It won’t be easy to move all that to a right to work state. I confess I don’t know details of Romney’s plan. But knowing his background as a highly successful turn around artist of businesses, I have more faith in his idea’s over any other politician.
If it can be turned around feasibly, the market will do it.
It is spelled right. It’s the wrong word.
