As a Conservative I am lost. I will not, under any circumstances vote for John Mclame. He has sold Conservatives out. Nor will I vote for Jesus' favorite candidate Schmuckabee. I believe the most Conservative candidate is Thompson and can't help but wonder who is voting in these things. If Mclame or Schmuckabee is the nominee I can't vote. It will pain me deeply to not vote, but either of those clowns are no different from the lefty. Me question to my FRiends is.. WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO??? The situation seems rather desperate.
4 years of Hillary, Huckleberry, McCain, or Obama will give us plenty of time to have a field of true conservatives in 4 years.
But thats old history. time to take stock and move along to get along.
I hope I have a few Republicans I can vote for, but as the old line from the movies goes:
" Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"
Fred Thompson is still in this race, and he’s been there all along.
Not dumb, complacent. Too wrapped up in their selves to take part in the process.
Now, we see the country lining up along identity, not qualifications.
Prepare for more socialism.
Not just the 4 years. Remember, the President gets to appoint and nominate people to all sorts of long-term and lifetime positions.
House of Representative "Special Orders", early Toon days: B-1 Bob Dornan, Duncan Hunter, Duke Cunningham, Dana Rohrabacker, Newt Gingrich, Robert Walker. Thats Newt and half of Orange County, CA. Those were the days.

“4 years of Hillary, Huckleberry, McCain, or Obama will give us plenty of time to have a field of true conservatives in 4 years.”
If Hillary or Obama get it then the Supreme Court will be lost to leftists that will make Ginsberg look like Phyllis Schaffley.
Will Mccain or Jesusboy appoint Conservatives? The answer is no!
I trust McCain and Huckleberry about the same as Hillary and Obama when it comes to nominations. At the most they’ll get one nomination, if we fight for a conservative congress it won’t be bad.

In 2008?
I will not "settle". I will not "rationalize".
I did the "lesser of two evils" gig four years ago and eight years ago--got compassionate conservatism alright--AND LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY TODAY.
Enough.
Not a second time.
To do so will only conform to the classic dictionary definition of insanity: to do the same things over and over again, expecting different results.
We have not had A GENUINE CONSERVATIVE ON THE TOP OF THE GOP TICKET FOR NEARLY 24 YEARS NOW--AND WE ARE TOLD TO "GET WITH THE TEAM" AND BE PATIENT AND OUR TURN WILL COME.
If I wait any longer, I will be dead.
So, I am keeping my powder dry and I will exercise a very, very independent vote in November based on a very, very independent rational and logical due-diligence process. I don't know that candidate's name just yet, but it will be stated in due time.
I’m not sure Huckleberry or McCain would appoint strong conservatives...wasn’t David Souter a product of a GOP administration?
Ur right, somewhere down the line conservatives have gotta show the moderates they can’t win elections without us.
One thing you are not hearing from the MSM is voter turnout in these cauci and primaries. That is because Dem turnout is horrible while Republican participation is spectacular.
You are hearing and seeing all this publicity about Hillary winning in Nevada. She lost to Hussein Osama 13 delegates to 12.
You are also not hearing that Republicans in Nevada, who had not caucused in the state precincts before (and caucuses at 9 AM on Saturday are never popular), turned out 4 to 1 over Democrats. Democrats had all the publicity and Republicans were not supposed to turn out because Romney was a shoe in.
What has happened to all these voter turnout percentages, registered voter/turnout ratios, Dem to Rep turnout comparisons?

I figure that might be the best way to show my support for his viewpoint, whether Fred stays in the fight or not.
I sent my 2nd contribution a short time ago. My "vote of support" is on the record.
I had previously sent a small contribution to Duncan Hunter.
I don't want to kick myself, someday down the line, because I didn't do anything to stop the slide to the left.
Come Now! Vote for Williard Mitty! He didn't mean that Abortion thing! Or that Tax thing! Or anything else you don't like. Look us in the eye. Say it with us! YES! - you wan't him to be President! Come on! Let us in your house (and show us your checkbook and underwear) - we will show you.
Hey man.....so....what? Chu no like Jon McCain? What yur problem man? You got sumthing in that jacket man? Listen man....McCain give me Amnesy man.....chu no like that? I'll F_ck you up man! #$^*^% You %^$%$#$!!!!!
Waz the matta with Huckabee? SHAAAZAM!
Lots of disappointment expressed herein. It’s certainly understandable on the day we seem to have lost both of the most conservative candidates. It’s a sad day for Reaganites like us.
But I’ve found a place where I’m a little more content than I was a few days ago when it became apparent to me Fred wasn’t going to make it. I was so disheartened, swearing I’d never vote for McCain and not excited about the others. (I don’t consider Huckabee a serious factor.)
And then it hit me. I care more about my country than I do about my political ideology. National security may have moved down in the polls, but it’s still my firewall...a candidate has to get past that before I’ll consider his/her other positions.
Bottom line: No Democrat can pass that test. Neither Hillary or Obama understands “peace through strength”. They and their party go out of their way to convince us the threat is overstated. They are not serious about the dangers we face.
So. I will put my disappointment behind me. I will vote for ANY Republican before allowing the peaceniks back in the Oval Office. Once I realized that I felt better.
