Ron Paul is a Republican who leans libertarian, and has been Republican for a great many years.
The ones who are running against him have the letter “R” after their names, but they are anything but conservative or Republican.
Not sure if this was posted, and it’s sure
not what we envisioned his role would be ..
but we never know what will play out in the
coming days.

It’s not the end of Fred Thompson
I spoke with one of Fred’s advisors a little while ago. We should note that Fred Thompson has not and will not be endorsing any of the other candidates. My understanding is that with no strong clearly conservative person in the race, he saw no point in endorsing.
But, this is not the end of Thompson. I’m told we’ll be hearing much more from him in a few days. His mother is recovering from an illness and he is with her. But, I suspect he’ll be engaging in forums around the country to talk about conservatism and make sure we hold the other candidates to some consistency — no more talking populist in Michigan, Mitt Romney.
Likewise, it would not surprise me in the least to start seeing Fred showing up and engaging in Republican primaries where a corrupt Republican who has lost his way might find Fred supporting an opponent in the primary.
The race for the Presidency is over for Thompson, but the fight for the party might just be beginning for him.

Has there been any news about his Mom’s condition today?
Prayers for Fred and his family.
