I just checked my inbox and my bulk/spam mail folder. I didn’t get an email asking for donations today.

I agree and, this is what I’ve been trying to all those that have decided to ‘take their marbles & go home’. Staying home is a vote for Hillary or Obama...same difference. Keep on preaching the get out the vote!

Thanks to all of you on FR who worked so hard for Fred.
Looks like I’ll be writing in Fred’s name because I’m not voting for a RINO.
You know when the Dem wins in November the MSM will blame it on the WOT or the economy (as they talk the economy into the tank).

(Conservative always, Republican no more.)
To: aroundabout
Either vote for the eventual nominee, or stay home and vote for Billary or Hussein Obama. It doesn't take an Einstein to know what to do here. It doesn't. We should all go out and affirmatively vote for Hillary or Obama. At least if the Democrat socialist won, we have the hope of getting a conservative in office in four years. Moreover, a Democrat socialist is more likely to experience gridlock in getting his proposals enacted (compare Clinton vs. Bush).
Our republic has survived Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and LBJ. However, our republic cannot survive with two socialist parties. The slow sinking into socialism for our country is now a given. We need to fight our party now to get a seat at the table. I'm sorry, but we cannot do that if our party is successful with another candidate for President who does not espouse the limited government ideals and social conservatism of Reagan.

What appears to be happening is the MSM and the GOP elitists seem to be picking off all the Conservatives. Why?...I have a few ideas but what does that matter. Conservatives are no longer the recognized base of this party.
Even though the candidates didn’t work out, the message is still clear. The question now, who is there to represent us?
To: kbennkc
The last email I got from Bill Lacy was on the 19th. Have you checked the date on your email?
To: joebuck
You are one deluded puppy if you believe there is no difference between either of the libs and say a Romney or McCain.
To: Politicalmom
Thanks for all your hard work on the ping lists, PM.
It's a sad day for all of us FRedheads. Now all we have to look forward to is either McCain or Romney.
Yuck.

In before the Troikabots start whining that anyone to principled to vote for their interchangeable liberals will be responsible for Hillary/Obama/armageddon. Wow! Talk about elitist speak! How would you see the country run by Hillary or Obama? I'm voting for Mitt now that Fred is gone. He isn't like McCain nor Rudy, especially like McCain.

According to you the WOT and the military will be handled in a similar fashion by either of the libs and either McCain or Romney or even Giuliani?
Weird, really weird.

Just exactly why is Fred not a Reagan Republican? BTW, did you donate or work a phone bank for Fred since you termed it a “half baked attempt”.
