No.
The people, including FReepers, are being scammed by these candidates, and by these sold-out organizations.
Fred Thompson’s positions are one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase with the Reagan Republican platform, and I’ll continue to say so. If you, and NRTL, want to regress to Jerry Ford’s position, which is what the majority of these candidates are explicitly advocating, including Thompson, that’s your business. But I won’t be a party to it.
So then let’s be honest. If we are discussing Reagan’s Platform on abortion 20+ years later, how well has it worked?
Maybe it’s time for another tactic...
Unfortunately, for the rest of the party, those who cannot see the forest for the trees wind up losing for all of us.
Whoever the nominee is to be in the GOP, we need to stand behind them, no matter if we have to hold our noses, or Hillary or worse will get into the WH, control both houses, and then we will ALL suffer the consequences.
The NRTL endorsement legimized the Thomson campaign, whether you like it or not, it is the chip every candidate needs to take the high road on the contest for the nomination.
Regardless of who is the 'best' candidate, in your opinion, it has not translated to NATIONAL support.
Next up for Fred, the NRA endorsement.
