It's brilliant actually.
South Carolina should have been the kind of people who respect and understand a man like Fred Thompson. South Carolina is supposed to be a state full of Conservatives.
They should have known that Fred was the only choice. Period. End of debate.
But they elected the candidate most opposite of Fred. That would be the Amnesty-granting, Gang-of-14-leading, Bush tax-cut opposing, 1st Amendment attacking (McCain-Feingold), "Maverick" (RINO) Senator John "Did you know he was a P.O.W. in Vietnam?" McCain.
I am officially done with the Republican party, I will not vote for President, and my only hope is that after the democrats win the White House, the damage is minimal to our country and that somehow/someway conservatives can take back our party. Either that or how about we start another party free of RINO's and liberals?
Excuse me while I go puke.
Oh and to those that say not voting will guarantee a democrat wins the White House...I SAY GOOD. Our Country deserves a Jimmy Carter at this point so that we can be blessed with a Ronald Reagan afterwards.
Our party and apparently "conservatives" in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina have decided that we need to become more liberal in order to beat the liberals. That makes a ton of sense.
I refuse to vote for any of the other so-called Republican candidates.

Don’t hold back. How do you really feel?
I saw a comment today that those of us who won’t obediently vote for any given republican aren’t conservatives. How about that, I won’t vote for a liberal so I must be one.
The country is being run by people too stupid (or too dishonest) to see that anti-competitive bank consolidation and uncontrolled money printing is the cause of the economic crisis and they're going to print more money to bail out the mega-banks while the socialists posture around and give recommendations on how to properly distribute the hyper-inflation.
And when when they tell us that if we don't want CINO A we have to vote for CINO B to keep him from winning instead of voting FOR the conservative in the race, we should do it every time. This is the strategy we need to continue to follow to beat liberals. It's certainly worked well so far in this election.
The blind leading the blind.
I don’t feel that way at all, I just think the likelihood of real irreversible damage done to our country is more likely to be done by Shrillary, Obamalamadingdong and the breck gal, in that order.
A glass half full (or even a few drops in it or even bone dry) is better than a broken glass!
My principles, in this particular case, come after buying time for our country.
But I have kids and want the best for them, there’s much to consider, but I can understand your opinion of not voting.
Thompson voted for that too. Hello in there. It's like going to hell to fight the devil.
Thompson, at least, repudiated that vote.
As Heavy Weapons Guy says, ‘’cry some more.’’ your pet candidate lost, fine. The least you can do now is to support the best of the remaining candidates, which at this moment is likely Romney.
Well, you’re describing my thoughts in good detail.
Are you saying our beloved Republican members of Congress won’t be able to keep an errant liberal POTUS in check?
I’m, shocked!
That’s YOUR opinion. You own it. We don’t want it, and we’re not buying, leasing, or renting it.
I’d vote for RuPaul before I’d pull the lever for the three “leftovers”.
At least I could laugh my way through misery.
So you admit that you’re pulling a Chicken Little, and are more interested in a pity party than in salvaging the situation.
Glad that’s cleared up.
I’m saying they’ll circumvent that and then blame them for their own shortcomings.
And remember all the noise made about Bush being on vacation all the time?
Clinton spent more money than any other president, flying abroad on trips, IN FACT more than the other presidents still alive COMBINED (including Ford at the time), and was virtually on vacation the entire 8 years!
Whatever.
At least RuPaul won’t kill any babies. Won’t hug any homos. Won’t release mass murderers. Won’t raise my taxes. Won’t take my guns. Won’t “partner” with the Chinese. Won’t leave the gate open for illegals. Won’t “tax” Veterans benefits.
In fact, I’d bet Myth squats to take a leak, as well.
Hey, people lost their chance to support a real Conservative, one you could sleep with your eyes closed.
Now, no matter who it is, you’ll be wide eyed at night.
$10.00 says Myth pushes for a “special class” legislation for homos in his first year. There goes more jobs to special interests.
Whatever makes you feel better.
I’ve always wondered what a conservative who uses the same overemotional thought processes as a liberal would look like. Now I know.
You may be right. How sick is that?
True, but to what degree? In other words...wide eyed with any of the RINO’s vs wide eyed, in the fetal position on the floor in the corner of a dark closet if any of the hypocrats get elected.
