2008 Shakeup Time (Carl Cameron on Senator Thompson)
Fox News ^ | January 21, 2008 | Carl Cameron

Posted on 01/21/2008 7:03:26 PM PST by Kurt Evans

Fred Thompson sources say the actor and former Tenn senator may withdraw from the race. There are no plans to attend Thursday’s Florida debate.

Staffers have been on partial pay since the NH primary. The Senators plans are very fluid. As of 8:45 this evening, there are no plans for any announcement about whether he will stay in the race or not. The team is wrestling with very few options. The Senator is in Nashville visiting his mother (in her 90’s) who has been ill.

From THE FIRST DAY Fox News broke the story last March of his candidacy, Thompson has always had a vice presidential bid in mind. Today a top aide even mentioned the idea on Brian and the Judge on Fox News Radio.

I’d rather not contemplate your arse, pissant.

BTW, sorry your candidate dropped out. I would’ve like to have supported him for a second choice.

And I’m glad I never wandered onto on of his threads and fouled them. It’s a shame you can’t say the same about the Fred threads though.

You know, it’s just possible that a sick mother in a hospital trumps just one of a scad of debates.

It would be nice if the rumor mill wasn’t so active here.

I think you need to post 10 more MSM Mitt bashing stories to get your MSM Gold Medal. Then you can start on your Platinum medal from the MSM.

Mitt is his own worst liability. Although you MittBots are going to make sure that nobody supports him if their chosen candidate gets out of the race ... good move ...

We have been down this road many times. Apparently your memory is on the short side. But alas once again. I’m foremost a Fred supporter. If for whatever reason he gets out of the race I will most likely go to Mitt. That is why I’m covering my back up position. Maybe you will get it this time.

The media has no reason to bash Joe Isuzu Romney. He’s just another liberal to carry out their anti-Conservative and anti-Republican agenda, just like he has throughout his career.

But we do get it. Your backup is as far afield from Fred as Obama is from Reagan. You forget that this website supports Conservatives, so don’t be so shocked when we don’t support liberals like Joe Isuzu Romney.

Why don’t you go and try to teach your candidate what the 10th Amendment means. That and your assinine posts against Thompson are moving me further away from your candidate.

Anybody who quotes Tim Russert is lost.

Pray tell do you have a back up plan? I agree that Fred is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack.

Leave it to someone from the Huck camp to bring up the pro abortion crap AGAIN.

“Seriously, it’s time the Mods & Jim start deleting these posts which are nothing but lies and FReepers going back and forth on it.”

I don’t support deleting posts.

That leads nowhere good.

Fred also supported Title X which would have provided $5 billion in funding for global warming research - based on IPCC recommendations. Look it up.
