Fred HAS to win the Republican nomination!!! Here's why:
Even with limited funds, Fred can still prevail. And the contributions will greatly increase with a clear and firm statement that he will continue through the convention. Many of the voters fear wasting their votes and money on someone who will give up before the 'fat lady sings'.
Give them what they want - a firm commitment - and the votes and money will come in like a tidal wave. Do not acknowledge any possibility of loss. Be resolute and absolutely believe that Fred will win, and convey that commitment to the people. Fred needs to have and make this commitment, and so does his staff. The MSM has too many times alleged that senior staffers have hinted of his dropping out.
If Fred can’t win SC, where can he win?
He didn’t say anything about his plans to go on to Florida.
Expect him to drop out soon.
Fred has a new photo on Fred08.com and paragraphs explaining how he will build up the military. They were put there since yesterday, if I’m not mistaken.
This is a good sign that he plans to fight on.
AMEN BROTHER!!!!! To Hell with these RINO’s
His campaign team has to make some serious adjustments fast.
You guys are ridiculous
Rasmussen markets: Fred Thompson at 0.4% to win nomination.
So who are you supporting?
RINO is not such an elegant or precise term. Are there degrees of RINOism? I believe that there are. Fred staying in the race bleeds votes from everyone accept McCain, the worst RINO. His remaining in the race, in my view, is a bad thing. I also believe that Huckabee has no real shot. The candidates who still have a real shot are McCain, Romney & possibly Rudy.
We must decide which among them we will get behind, or just take our marbles, go home and complain. Of the three, I think Romney is the lesser RINO and would be the strongest candidate in the GE.
Never Give Up!
Fred, use this opportunity to regroup, let Huckabee lose badly in Florida, and then come on great guns for Super Tuesday with a speech that knocks us out and a debate performance that gets you noticed.
If you also happen, in the speech, to use the word “pimps” to describe the media it couldn’t hurt.
As you say, most of the candidates are losers. Fred is the last man standing.
If you look at the results of the last FR poll on the right, you can see that Freepers still overwhelmingly support Fred, although you might not get that impression on some of the threads, since supporters of the other candidates have been very active.
I don’t know what the outcome will be, but with Hunter out there’s no one else who is fit for a conservative to vote for. Let’s pray that this works out for the good of our country.
Enter by the narrow gate, broad is the way that leads to destruction :)
I’m tired of hearing who Thompson hurts if he stays in...he has as much a right to try and capture the nomination as all the others. Stop whining.
I’m with Fred as long as long as he won’t give up! GO FRED!
I'll support Romney now, and Id have to think about it for the others, except I will never vote for McCain, ever.
So thats it. I hope he bows out and doesent endorse anyone. His chance is over, unfortunately.
Actually, we’re expecting you to drop out.
Get ‘er done!
It was Thompson that said South Carolina was his “line in the sand.” If he stays in after a dismal third place in a Southern State, and the above statement.....then he is motivated by ego not the best interests of the country.
All Thompson can do is play spoiler and make the fracturing of the GOP a reality. If he gets out now, there may be time to heal the damage done. Maybe, folks like you will get over your mania and eventually come back to reality. However, the longer Thompson drags it out, the more damage he does.
Touche.
I’ve given Fred $500 already, and if he told me that he’s in to the convention, I’d max out tomorrow.
Keep fightin’ hte good fight FRed!!
