I said go for Fred in South Carolina because I wanted to give Thompson a chance to mix this race up.
But Fred fell short now and the main concern of mine is to beat McCain.
There's a media orgasm-coronation going on right now and we have to have straight heads to stop it.
Lets not infight and let trolls lead us atray.
Here's a serious look at how to defeat a man who's a virtual Democrat and a traitor to the conservative cause in this country.
McCain-Feingold made the First Amendment into toilet paper.
The law was designed to protect incumbent politicians by keeping little candidates from getting outside support to defeat entrenched politicians.
And we all have a list of what McCain has done to help Democrats and hurt Conservatives from the Gang of Fourteen on down.
Straight heads must prevail at this point.
I've heard two guys on two different networks (David Gergen on CNN, Bill Sammon of the "Washington Examiner" on Fox News) point out that Thompson is a "friend" of McCain. Sammon suggested Fred will endorse McCain.
That should settle the issue I brought up some weeks ago about Fred being a McCain front if it pans out.
Fred can't do much if he stays in right now but hold Tennessee which if he wants to run there on February 5th makes me happy enough.
McCain must be defeated by tactical voting.
I only hope Giuliani doesn't collapse from the media wave before we reach New York on February 5th. Its a winner take all primary and the only candidate who can take out McCain there is Rudy.
In New York and New Jersey on February 5th, I'm certain Rudy is the anti-McCain vote to defeat him there. You have to vote Rudy there to stamp out the McCain Mutiny.
Romney will contest Florida so vote for him there on the 29th to stop McCain.
Huckabee at least campaigned against McCain in the last few days in South Carolina.
The return the illegals pledge he signed along with on-air (MSNBC) criticism of McCain-Feingold I saw was clearly aimed at McCain.
But yes Huckabee always says nice things about McCain.
Maybe that's just his style.
If Huckabee is a shill for McCain, lets make Huck prove it by giving him wins and delegates in states where he is strongest. On February 5th, that will be Oklahoma, Alabama and or course Arkansas.
Back to Romney, he's the obvious choice in Utah, Colorado and Massachusetts on February 5th.
Romney should probably contest Missouri so you know who to vote for there.
Wouldn't it be nice if the native son of Missouri who's name inspired mine finally came out of the closet for Romney?
Is he fiddlin around while the Republican Party burns?
Emporer McCain and his media buddies are torching the place right now.
Focus your vote in the next few weeks on the strongest possible candidate in your state to defeat McCain.
Its straight heads time and I won't attack Huck, Romney or Rudy at this point because I'm not in the McCain helping business.
The grim task is to knock McCain down so hopefully a conservative alternative can rise up (that would probably be Romney). (ALL CRITICS CAN SHUT UP AT THIS POINT BECAUSE YOU ONLY HELP MCCAIN BY TRASHING ROMNEY)
But I will accept the other two as alternatives.
Get real, don't let the beltway crowd steal the Republican Party away from us.
THE ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE IS MCCAIN.
Guys like former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig, the Rockefeller Republicans are in the McCain camp.
Also President Bush's friend, former Homeland Security Secretary and PA Governor Tom Ridge is on the McCain bandwagon.
On Friday, by the way, Ridge called "waterboarding torture. That echoes the McCain position of course.
The die is cast, let them win without us. Calculations have been made on all sides, let's wait and see who is right. I am free of party affiliation, to tell you the truth.
You had me until this line: “Giving up classified information to the enemy is conservative?”. If you are talking about his torture in North Vietnam you are way off base.
I’m not supporting McCain because of his politial stands, but as a soldier he served with honor.
He will run third party and like Periot siphon votes from the Republican candidate.
Can a president declare an emergency and get ANWR opened up?
And what about offshore?
We need alternatives to foreign oil.
Al Goreism will be the death of this nation.
Envirowackism is strangling our nation’s economy even as we speak with high gasoline prices.
How many folks here who ranted and raved against Hillary-care are now making like Romney is the greatest thing since sliced bread?
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
That's funny, because last I looked, Huck is being upheld by about 1/3 of the Christian Right, all by themselves.
You are dead wrong here. The Reagan Coalition can kick the crap out of anything out there. What is wrong is that everyone is puling for their own desires instead of honoring the Great Compromise.
"Electability" and "Pragmatism" have brought us where we are.
Does anyone know which hand McCain shakes with?
Protest noted. Hillary thanks you.
I have heard this going around that 40% have voted in Florida already. 40% of what? All voters? Registered Republicans? Where is this coming from? Has the state of Florida put this out? If the state did put this out, why would anyone think the votes are all for one particular candidate? Please give the source for this 40%. Thanks!
Mainstream Media: “We get high....we get high....we get high....McCain.”
Dole’s war injury may be behind that handshake thing.
A german MG43 practically blew his arm off in 1945. Duh.
Rush forgot the first lesson of Rush.
He only stared educating in the last two weeks or so. He was not pushing hard until recently.
That has allowed the RINOs to claim territory.
We should take heart because it seems there was in fact “a fred effect” (per CNN) of a belt of counties in SC that went solid thompson because he went there.
That strategy is now physically impossible for Feb 5
Maybe he was partying too much or playing golf.
But he’s talked about “carrying water” for people after 2006. As in repeating spin from the insiders.
I hope he isn’t carrying for them now.
On the other hand, I was listening to a Mitt Romney interview on NPR (I drive a lot, and Talk Radio gets boring sometimes). He was asked if he had any liberal positions, and he went on about his health care and education plans.
