I am sooooo friggen angry, I can hardly speak!!!

I did EVERYTHING I thought was right.

Listen, I am a single mom, I have NO alimony, NO child support and I REFUSE all government aid. I do NOT have a college degree and work in restaurants to pay my bills.

I SHOULD be a flaming liberal. But I am NOT! I am super CONSERVATIVE!

I joined FRIENDS of Thompson. I gave my paltry little money to Thompson. I shouted from the rafters for Thompson.

I have heard all the.... JUST WAIT... stuff. Thompson is waiting for {insert place here to make the difference). And (insert important organization here) will endorse him to make the difference.

Well, I don't know what to do now.

Will SOMEone... ANYone... give me some info to make me hold out hope?

I will NOT vote for Huckelbee. I will NOT vote for McCain.

What in the world am I supposed to think/do now?

As a mostly lurker, I’ve been watching these threads and the returns with interest, before venturing an observation or two about the days’ events. I have seen the lies that Huckabee has thrown out (Theology degree, taxes, illegal immigrants, etc.), and think what he and his camp are saying about Fred is a travesty. Of all those running, I don’t like Rudy (gun grabber), McCainiac (CFR, Illegals), Mitt (flipflop on lots of stuff), or Ron Paul (Loony), but I COULD vote for any of them against Huckabee. The one thing I crave most now is the chance to cast my vote in Missouri’s primary for FDT. I hope and pray he will hold in there till the convention, at least to influence the direction of the the GOP, and to better his chances for unifying the party behind him, because I don’t think anyone else can. Here’s a quote I picked up reading quite a while back, from a Democrat (who had his baggage, but nonetheless would probably be thought as mostly conservative today): “A liar in public life is a lot more dangerous than a full paid-up Communist, and I don’t care who he is.” — Harry S. Truman
He had some rough times during an election or two, too, but did OK at the end. So, please, Karen, keep the faith, and PLEASE, Fred, hang in there......we need you!

First of all, way to go!! You definitely should not be a liberal! You epitomize what it means to be a conservative. You are independent and self sustaining. You damn well should be proud of yourself! I am!

As far as the elections go, for me, this one is a wash. There is no way to come out a winner, no matter what happens. All I can do is wait until next year(2012) Although I want to see a capable conservative be elected for the sake of the country, my life or happiness doesn't depend on who wins elections. I determine that on my own, as you seem to do quite well.

As far as this election goes, I will be writing in Hunter for president. If for no other reason, a protest vote. You could do the same thing(vote for your candidate) IF the eventual candidate is someone you cannot bring yourself to vote for. This will be a first for me. I have always voted straight party line in the hopes that things would get better. But, unfortunately, the party keeps sliding leftward. This is the election where I say, NO MORE!!
