Yea, I've been working on that since the weekend when Hunter dropped and the speculation on FRed dropping began. I'll hoist a few in your honor this evening.....or at least that's the excuse I'm using!
GO RINOs!

McLean, VA - Senator Fred Thompson today issued the following statement about his campaign for President:
"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."
I will. I will write in or vote 3rd party based on my conscience or stay home. The lesser of evil is not an option anymore.
So who will you be voting for? McCain, Huckabee, Hillary or Obama?
I speak for nobody but myself, but at the beginning of this thing, my acceptable choices in order were 1.)Thompson 2.)Hunter 3.)Tancredo and 4.)Paul. I'm down to Ron Paul. Your guy Mitt is the least offensive out of the unacceptables to me. If only he hadn't pulled that mandatory insurance nonsense, I might now be in his boat.
Mitt is a poor substitute. But following the usual rules, he’s the most conservative guy who can win.
If it ever comes to McCain, we’ll, he’s not a conservative guy.
Thanks Master. Getting nice and tipsy tonight.
You go and vote for the social RINO’s. It doesn’t matter none of them are conservative enough to excite the base and win in November.
Circa 1992 and 1996 are coming home.
I’ll cry in my vodka, then.
Jellybean, thanks for all you’ve done. I will be considering Mitt; not because I endorse him, but as an anti-choice for all the others.
McCain: He’s a liberal Democrat in Republican clothing.
Huckabee: He’s a liberal wannabee in Republican clothing.
Giuliani: He’s a liberal buffoon in Republican clothing.
Paul: He’s a wacko nutjob, and I held back on my true feelings about him.
So, what’s left? No, I won’t sit this out. This election is too important. I have no intention of ‘handing’ the office to a Dimocrat.
Thanks, take care, and good luck!
Jim
Take your ball and go home. We Conservatives will keep the Democrats out of the Whitehouse.
Are you saying it’s been handled well by GWB?
In 2003, I’d have said yes. Today, no.
Rudy McRomney has given me NO reason to suspect they’d handle ANYTHING with a conservative edge. All three are RINO’s to the bone who would sell us up the river just as fast as Hillbama would.
Neither side of the aisle is different, they only want power.
Considering who the “serious” candidates are, I won’t hold that against him.
“I’m taking off before the Orcs start celebrating.”
Now you know how Hunter fans felt last week. Sorry to see Fred go.
He was the last real Conservative in the race.
Orcs: from “Lord of the Rings”?
a vote in the Florida Primary ... the first closed primary .... still couldn't hurt ... we voted for him here in FL last week
let the media and the party elders know we're still out here
.
As a Duncan Hunter supporter, I feel your pain.
>>But following the usual rules, he’s the most conservative guy who can win.<<
I followed that rule in 2000 and again in 2004, and what did we get in return? An even more bloated and inneffective government and broken campaign promises.
Not again. I’d write in my Dad’s name before I’d vote for any of these conservative-wannabes
“He wants you to vote for the person who think has the most to offer the country.”
Unfortunately their isn’t a person running in either party now who fits that description.
Thank you to y’all, and all Fredheads, for all that you’ve done.
mega dittos to you politicalmom!
They’ve been wonderful supporters, and worked their butts off for Fred.
Many other posters have as well, such as yourself.
I thank y’all, too, for your diligence on Fred’s, and this country’s, behalf.
Yea, I've been working on that since the weekend when Hunter dropped and the speculation on FRed dropping began. I'll hoist a few in your honor this evening.....or at least that's the excuse I'm using!
GO RINOs!
Thank you for keeping me updated. It was a pleasure fighting the good fight w/ you and all of our FRedheads!!!
I too endorse NO ONE. When it comes time to choose between a rino and socialist pig, I will hold my nose and vote rino. If the sheeple choose McCain, I will stay home and drink a goodbye toast to my country.
