First, let’s get something on the table: I have never in my life been MORE disgusted with a politician - not Nixon, not Clinton, not nobody - than I was tonight when I saw Mike Huckabee have the ASTOUNDING gall to stand up and say that the top two finisher ran a clean campaign and he was proud that he finished as he did “honorably”
I have moved from finding the man an unacceptable candidate, all the way to finding him a clear and present danger not just to his party, but to his faith and to his nation - I would not only vote for Hillary Clinton over this man, in a two horse race I would CAMPAIGN for her.
That being the case, IF we postulate - just for the sake of argument - that Thompson’s only purpose in the race is to take out Huckabee (laughable on the face of it since Thompson got in when EVERYONE thought Huckabee’s campaign would be as stillborn as Tommy Thompson’s and Tom Tancrado’s but still, for the sake of argument...) then I can only say that Fred Thompson has done as much for this nation in so doing as McCain did in all his years of military service, if not more.
I despise everything McCain holds dear, politically, I hate him with a passion for his repeated undermining of conservative principles but even so, having seen what I have seen in the last month from Huckabee, it’s an easy slam dunk for me to recognize that a Huckabee nomination is about 40,000,000 times worse for our party, our faith, and our country, as a McCain nomination is.
Neither has the money to win the long battle.
It’s Romney. Thompson’s people will mostly go to Romney. The only thing that will stop that is McCain funding Thompson to stay in.
Well said. I’ve tried not to despise huck, with the thought that I might have to try to vote for him in a general, but he’s so despicable, there’s just no way. I thought politicians are supposed to make themselves MORE likable, and to attract MORE voters?
Amusing how Thompson started the all-out attack on Huckabee, and when his opponent's supporters fought back, all we hear is whining about unfair play. I have no doubt this cost Thompson in more ways than one. He not only came across as surly, but the fact that he concentrated on one opponent and one opponent only gave the appearance that he was just picking a fight, like it was personal. He was bragging about being the most like Reagan, all the while not appearing like Reagan at all.

I agree with you. I was stunned as he was saying this. I was waiting for him to say “psych” at the end of it. lol.
