What Would Free Republic Do If Fred Thompson Is Not The Republican Nominee? (Vanity)
December 9 2007 | jveritas

Posted on 12/09/2007 5:12:49 PM PST by jveritas

It is very obvious that Fred Thompson is Free Republic most favorite candidate and by far. On the other hand every other top tier Republican candidate, Guiliani, Romney, Huckabee, and McCain are absolutely disdained by most Freepers. Therefore this is the important question:

What would Free Republic do if Fred Thompson is not the Republican Party Nominee?

If Romney wins and Hunter is chosen as running mate, I would almost be happy to vote for the ticket, same goes for some of the rest of the candidates.

If the Republicans fail to support the Right to Life, there will be somewhere to go... And if not, there is always indy. I won't support the RINO movement of the Republican Party. NO MORE RINOs.

If it's no longer conservative, then it's because there are no longer enough conservatives and there sure as heck wouldn't be enough conservatives to start a third party.

We just trying to get the maximum number of conservatives elected through the primary process. After that we MUST stay united so we do not lose any of the ground we have gained. For instance--the supreme court. We need at least one more conservative judge. We will take a giant step backward if a Democrat is elected president.

Consider voting for Ralph Nader. He’s no more leftist than any of the other front runners in the GOP field but at least he admits it.

We did okay with Clinton thanks to a GOP Congress acting as a firewall to his true liberal intent. Dubya was given carte blanc and he spend the taxpayers money accordingly ---like a liberal, expanding the federal bureaucracy in the process.

Now, look at some old video footage from Jimmah and compare it to the Huckster`s public style.

"If a monkey in a bellhop suit with an (R) behind his name is our candidate I’m pulling that lever."

And you complain about the cable networks catering to the lowest IQ? You have absolutely no room to tell somebody else to wake up, drink up, grow up or anything else.

It just amazes me that folks in this forum wail about other groups, let's say blacks for instance, blindly pulling the lever for dem candidates election cycle after election cycle ... yet the same folks stand ready to do exactly the same thing for the republican party.

Answer me this, if you can: how on earth is the republican party going to get any more conservative or responsible to the conservative base if we keep voting for them, election cycle after election cycle, even though they are not doing what we would like them to do? How is conservatism advanced by the likes of Rudy or Romney, for whom you will gladly vote?

Pray, I would pray that the nominee would see the best path and not destroy our great country. I would encourage everyone else to do the same.

I can only speak for myself. I am barely functionally intelligent. I have been eligible to vote in 8 Presidential elections. I have been barely smart enough to vote Republican in those eight elections and stupid enough to believe in guys named George Bush all six of the times their names appeared on the Republican National Ticket. I admit that I was tempted by the crazy man Perot. That said, I was rewarded beyond my greatest hopes twice with a guy named Reagan. I will vote for the Republican guy whoever it is, call me a sexist but I would NEVER vote for whatever the gender named Clinton, or a Breck girl, or Oprah's surrogate.

Ok, Fred will be the nominee in the end, though it could get to the convention between him and Rudy.

However..

My second emotional candidate is Hunter, but he is not in the hunt.

Among those left in the hunt there are not any that fit the bill even remotely as well as FDT. They are all a few ticks or more left or right of moderate depending on the issue or day of the week.

So realistically, my next fall back is Romney. I tossed it between him and Huck, and find that Huck scares me more. Mitt really is trying to appear Conservative so I think he would at least try and represent our ideas, and not aggressively pursue a left leaning agenda like Huckabee would. I do fear he will fold under pressure from the left like was his tendacy in MA. I would just have to keep an eye out and scream foul when he did.

I could go McCain as well, but he have to be watched, and not just on policy if you know what I mean.

Huck and Rudy, well I'd vote for them, because Hillary by proxy is at least not Hillary direct. But I would have to have a very long hot shower afterward, and wear protection for the next 4-8 years, because I know I am going to get screwed more than a few times...

The job of Democratic Senate majority leader can be a dangerous one, as a major spokesman for the party. Former Sen. Tom Daschle lost a reelection bid after his tour as majority leader as the folks in South Dakota apparently came to think he wasn't paying enough attention to his home state.

I can't speak for Free Republic. I've worked on the ground for Republicans at every level starting in 1993. My efforts would grind to a halt for Giuliani or Huckabee. I'm not yet sure about Romney. I have more to study.

McCain puts a different wheel on the wagon. He would be easy to support if he had a decent record on the most salient issues since about 1998. Of course, there is also the Keating episode, but that may have been why he was such a disaster on campaign finance.

His record on illegal immigration isn't anything worth writing home about.

My guess is I can't support him, but it won't matter because he is hopelessly mired in the process.
