Pro life on every vote.
“IF Fred runs, your guy is going down in flames alone with all the other RINOs, watch and see. There are over 200 comments on this threat now. How many of them seem to even remotely support your spineless position?”
Look, leave the FR comments out of it. Those who post do not represent anything more than a small segment of the conservative community. As for Fred’s running—perhaps. I wouldn’t bet on it. He has lymphoma—which is a manageable disease but which takes a toll on one’s energy. I doubt Thompson will have the requisite stamina required for a presidential run. Even now, in the Cavuto interview, he admits that should he run he will have no intention of running the usual campaign of criss-crossing the country to drum up votes. That doesn’t sound like somebody who appreciates what it takes to win the next time around.
Careful writeblock...
You’re gatting dangerously close to praying for Thompson’s cancer to come out of remission...
FR happens to be one of the biggest conservative blogs in the country. I assure you, the RNC is watching what is being said here and you had better be too.
Maybe you like this news flash better...

Or maybe this one...
...A recent Vision America online presidential preference poll of more than 2,500 “values voters” across the United States indicates significant support for Thompson. Vision America says 37.6 percent of the 2,678 respondents supported Thompson for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, while Rudy Giuliani came in second with 14.1 percent, followed by Ron Paul at 11.3 percent, Newt Gingrich at 10.6 percent and Sam Brownback at 7.4 percent.
Conservatives are sending this same message all over the country. Don’t listen...that’s okay.
“It’s easy to understand my position—if you properly appreciate the principle of double effect.”
Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha....!
No, one only need properly understand the art of “double-talk”....
LMAO
Gotta love those situational ethics.
Rudy is a promise only, smoke and mirrors, of security, and nothing else.
I would rather put my cards on a man with cancer than Rudy, another form of liberal cancer.
I can’t believe how hard they work to convince people they have solid convictions while they are so obviously willing to sell out for false political expedience...
Amazing! And he thinks his problem is me and a small fringe conservative movement unwilling to compromise again?
“You’re gatting dangerously close to praying for Thompson’s cancer to come out of remission. FR happens to be one of the biggest conservative blogs in the country. I assure you, the RNC is watching what is being said here and you had better be too.”
Don’t project onto me your own shallow attitudes. I do not wish Thompson ill-will simply because I support Rudy Giuliani. What’s more, I don’t worry about Thompson’s candidacy at all and if he eventually became our nominee, I’d vote for him in a shot over any Democrat. That said, I doubt he will run—and if he does, I’m certain he will lose in the primaries. So I’m not at all concerned.
As for the RNC, I’m sure they couldn’t care less about what I’ve been saying—and if Freerepublic wishes to ban me for expressing my honest views, that can’t be helped either—though I don’t believe this is the actual case at all—otherwise I wouldn’t be welcomed here. Believe me, both the RNC and FR understand not all conservatives think alike. Many of us, thank goodness, are better informed and better schooled in logic than you seem to be.
“Gotta love those situational ethics.”
The principle of double effect has nothing to do with situational ethics.
Precisely, we need to offer the voter a 'difference', not a popular similarity. Even the Chinese get it: one from column A, one from column B.
If this is true, then America is already finished as a free society.
Thanks for the 'glass-half-full' analysis. I've been losing faith.
ignore the base of the party that is looking for a real conservative candidate or none at all...
Ignoring the base would be fatal this time around. They've positioned their Queen socialist, we need to counter with capitalist King conservatives en mass to defeat her. Long live the republic.
ps, surrendering to the Left ought to require more than white flags and votes. Let them figure out what this means and whether they want to go there.
Amen!
Pop a top on me!
