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"Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States.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."

THE TERRORISTS ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE LIBERAL/SOCIALISTS TO COME TO

POWER.

IT’S IN OUR POWER TO STOP THE LIBERAL/SOCIALISTS.

VOTE FOR ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!

[EternalVigilance]

He’s on your Missouri ballot.

He’s the only bonafide conservative left in the race.

Apparently only that one was removed so that's good.
I have probably posted my links a few hundred times since last spring (the list has tripled since then) and I still get FReepers posting and mailing me that they've never seen it.

It just won't have the impact, IMO, if only one simple link is posted to a separate location.

[EternalVigilance]

VOTE FOR ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!

Never. With or without multiple exclamation marks.

[Freedom2specul8]

Maybe you could mention it on your tag line?

[TigersEye]

Good idea!

[Freedom2specul8]

I thought he was the last one standing years ago. ((sigh))

[Freedom2specul8]

page 4 is what I needed to read..that’s excellent. I just don’t understand, unless the party members have changed, and that’s why he’s not being taken seriously.

[TigersEye]

Do you know if Keyes is on the CO ballot? I’d vote for him in a minute.

Darn......drat...........I guess the rumors that started last night were true :-(

I understand. I mean his mom is sick, probally doesn't have a lot of time left. I'm not surprised really. Fred would have made an outstanding president.

[TigersEye]

Thank you. I’ll check that out tomorrow.

[Freedom2specul8]

That’s the latest info I can find..sorry.

If this is correct, he has until may 29th to file.

Did you know these people outside the site? If not, saying they were your friends sounds a little strange.

The point of this and most other forums is an exchange of ideas and opinions. (like minded or not) We are anonymous for the most part.

Leave it at that and you will never have hurt feelings again. (Can’t guarantee you won’t be sad, happy or angry.LOL!)

Great Response. Let the Rats screw up the country with Socialism. Then we have no one to blame but our selves. If we don’t like the President then we have an opportunity to change in 4 years. Once Socialism is in place it will be damn near impossible to get rid of. Look at the President’s prescription drug plan. I see Romney as less of a RINO than the other two knuckleheads. I damn sure see him as a much better President than Obama/Clinton/Edwards. You also have to look at the Supreme Court Nominations.

Last I knew, the CO GOP was keeping Alan off their caucus ballot.

"We are playing right into the Clinton plan."

Yep... and to the applause of many FReepers! That is what I find even MORE upsetting!

[ArrogantBustard]

Hopefully, the other candidates have at least learned a little from Fred.

Sure ... they've learned that if you're a socialist, an abortion supporter, or a gun-control freak the MSM will pay lots of attention to your campaign.

If you're a conservative, they'll ignore you to death.

[sweet_diane]

"How about making life hard for democrats?"

We lost our last chance to do that, IMHO. There isn't a candidate left that the Dems can't easily rip to shreds in the General. But hey! Whomever the Reps nom will have fire in his belly as he's being ripped apart. lol
