A vote for Thonmpson is a vote for McCain and Thompson ONLY as McCains running mate or Thompson being in McCains cabinet. Fred has no REAL interest in winning. Period.

Simply writing the word “period” at the end of a random wild-ass guess does not give your random wild-ass guess any more credibility.

No, a vote for Thompson is a vote taken away from Huckabee, Mitt, or McCain and a vote FOR conservatism to remain the backbone of the Republican Party. It depends on which person the voter WAS supporting and Fred will pull votes from all three, along with lots of the undecideds. And, BTW, I'm just as much an expert on this as you are. :-)

Is that the latest talking point from the Huck camp? The Mitt camp?

LOL.

Whatever, talk to the hand, cuz the ears ain’t listening.

Go Fred!

Do I think he has a “chance of winning”? Yes.

Can he? Yup - if all the dumbasses actually stop paying attention to the freakin’ poll crap and actually VOTE for a CONSERVATIVE.

No, Mitt Romney is not a Conservative, his daddy was a hard core liberal and the apple didn’t fall THAT from from the tree folks.

Fred has said this isn’t so, said it loud and clear. Are you here to promote lies or do you have any truthful arguments to share?

For all of your fine caps speech, you have no real logic to add to this discussion. You have no proof. You are calling Thompson a liar as Thompson has clearly said he will not drop out and endorse Mclame.

This comment goes right up there with all the wishful thinking on the part of the Huck and Romney supporters who think Thompson will drop out and endorse McCain. That isn't happening. Maybe you missed this Glenn Beck Interview with Fred Thompson

Here is an excerpt:

GLENN: How do you explain? Because -- you know, and it's unfair to ask a competitor this question but I'm going to ask it anyway because you know the man and you worked with the man for a long time and everybody says he's a good man and everything else. But good God almighty, he's wrong on just about everything. How do you explain with conservatives going out to vote, how are they supporting John McCain? What is this -- where is this coming from?

SENATOR THOMPSON: I think the basis of it is national security, national defense. John was right, I think, with regard to Iraq and he stood tough during tough times and I think he turned out to be right. And I was the same place the whole time and have been. We agree on that. But John is wrong on some other important things and he was wrong when he voted against the Bush tax cuts.

GLENN: But wait a minute. I mean --

SENATOR THOMPSON: He says he's changed his mind about that now and, you know, sobeit. But, you know, I was there during part of that time and I voted the other way. I believed the other way then, I believe the other way now. He's certainly wrong with regard to the immigration bill that they tried to get the American people sign off on last year and they gave a resounding no and now everybody's getting tough on the border. But on taxes and immigration, especially, you know, I think he's wrong. But so is Huckabee as far as that's concerned.

GLENN: But he's also wrong with McCain/Lieberman where he wants to sign treaties for global warming. He wants to give away sovereignty on global warming. This guy is not a conservative.

SENATOR THOMPSON: No, I think he's in the wrong direction on that, too. I think that that's absolutely true. But, you know, he's like everybody else. You know, he has his strong suits and his weak suits. But I think that the direction that he and Huckabee and others really, I think Giuliani and where Romney has been in the past all are going in a so-called moderate direction, which is going to lead to, you know, so-called big government conservativism or bigger government conservativism anyway.

....

GLENN: All right. Senator Fred Thompson, let me ask you something that you and I disagree on pretty widely, I think, and that is I'm very concerned about our economy and you say that we're not headed for -- or you said a couple of months ago we weren't headed for a recession. I think it's all due to spending, just out-of-control spending both at home and in Washington, D.C.. our banking system is in a shambles. The Fed is running out of levers to open up and we've got several people on both sides of the aisle that are saying that they want a stimulus package. If the -- well, first of all do you think we're headed for a recession and if so, what is it that you propose to do to fix it?

SENATOR THOMPSON: Well, I don't -- see, we meet ourselves coming back there, Glenn, because, you know, you are taking a page out of the McCain talking points there. You know, he thinks it's down all due to spending. Nobody's harder on spending than I am but it's not the only reason for this economic downturn. Spending needs to be controlled on a longer term basis. We're all talking about today and tomorrow and the stock market today and the unemployment rate this very minute and all of that. When we're locked into a spending pattern over the next several years, it's going to be economic catastrophe for us. Has nothing to do with the current problem but it's a longer term issue. That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, that sounds like Thompson is positioning himself to drop out of the race and endorse McCain, or that he is trying to land a spot as McCain's VP or in his cabinet to me! (give me a break with the Huckabee pipedream talking points already)

Fred is not going through this for any other reason than to win. Those who fall for bilge like that are simply allowing the MSM who created the myth to eliminate the best candidate for conservatives by making them fearful to vote for him. We need to stop listening when others tell us our vote is wasted because he can’t win or does not want to win.

Fred is in it to win.
Fred can win.
Don’t waste your vote by NOT voting for Fred Thompson.

Are you kidding me?? He even told us he doesn't LOVE campaigning; he only got in the race because the country needs a real Constitutional Conservative and there wasn't one running; he's got a great life outside of politics, etc.

Does Senator Thompson REALLY strike you as someone who would do all this to provide some sort of "moral support" for a friend??? Ha ha ha ha ha! He is in this to WIN and to SERVE!

I don’t know. I heard him on Cavuto’s show, and he sure sounded pretty convincing that he’s in the race for himself, not for another candidate. And he was specifically asked about McCain.
