I won't vote for them oh the Huckster. Of course I will vote third party. I am a Conservative, not simply a Republican lapdog.
The answer is Fred Thompson.
bs. they’re angling for another Ross Perot crapola.
There are only two candidates I simply cannot vote for at this point: McCain and Huckabee.
If it’s McCain, he’s going to have to do a whole lot of convincing in order to prevent me from jumping ship.
It has less to do with a fractured coaltion and more to do with a competitive race when there are no incumbent Presidents or VPs running. There are clear choices. The Dems really have none with all of their candidates essentially running on the same platform.
Not the GOP.
Let’s have Obama and Hillary as candidates for Prez. And Edwards.
Democrats should vote their conscience, after all.
Geez louise, 6% of delegates awarded, not even to Feb. 5 yet, and they’re using the word gridlock.
My prediction -
There will be a lot of people chastising the writer, and a handful agreeing with most of it.
I’m in the latter group. The ‘top tier’ are buffoons.
I think it would result in another deal made just like the Perot/Clinton deal.
He could not get a Republican cat to vote for him in the red states, and he would force hillary to spend big bucks to defend the Socialist States of the North East, and possibly California.
Divine intervention.
If conservatives leave the RINO run GOP to form a new party,the GOP would become the third party—a small party populated by a circus of little prima donna generals moving non-existant divisions about on a fantasy battle map.
The conservative party,the new Federalist Party,would be second in size to the Dems only and with a lot more unity, purpose and nascent power.
John McCain? The truth-telling, straight shooter may have told too many truths to a party base that refuses to warm to him and views his positions on immigration, interrogation methods and campaign financing with suspicion.
Mike Huckabee? There may not be enough churches in which to campaign in when the big Super Tuesday states weigh in Feb. 5 and the glass slipper should fall off a candidate who often appears to be running against party elders on foreign policy and economic issues.
Mitt Romney? He can only be a native son once and his victory in Michigan, where he pitched bromides about bringing a once-proud state back to its former glory, reinforces a perception that he will say anything to get elected.
Fred Thompson? He set the campaign alarm clock way too late in the day and snored through a phase in which he could have seized the moment.
Rudy Giuliani? While pundits start talking about his late-state strategy bearing fruit, it ignores the fact he never established any conservative bona fides, carries way too much personal and business baggage and is trying to win the Super Bowl without taking the field during the season.
MSM fantasy orgsams about socialists winning in 2008.
Thompson is the ONLY candidate that supports all 3 legs.
McCain - Defense and Social
Romney - Defense and Economic
Guiliani - Defense and Economic
Huckabee - Social
Explains why Thompson is the ONLY one I support, and why Huckabee is the ONLY one I will never vote for.
So this was written on January 18th, last Friday. And Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul are not even mentioned. But I should consider a third party candidate, rich New Yorker Bloomberg? My choices are running to Bad, Worse and Ugly.
Here we go! I was wondering when this crapola would start.
Yes, by all means, let’s take an already bad situation with a pile of candidates that we can’t support or weed out and do the absolute worst thing possible and split it up more with a 3rd party candidate.
Yes, I’m sure the MSM will be loving this idea and will be falling all over themsleves to push someone into the limelight. What could be better for the Democrats than to add yet ANOTHER contender into the mix to divide us even more? Great idea!!!
Please God, let this idea just die right now.
Stopped Reading Here.
I support Thompson until they stick a fork in him; if that happens I will vote with a clothes pin clamped to my nose.
It’s way too early to say there’s going to be a deadlocked convention. Let’s see how the race shapes up after Super Tuesday. My guess is that it’ll come down to Romney and McCain.
I won't vote for them oh the Huckster. Of course I will vote third party. I am a Conservative, not simply a Republican lapdog.
