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.
Thompson voted for that too. Hello in there. It's like going to hell to fight the devil.
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.
***Sigh***
I retire from the USAF in three years.
I wonder what will be left at that time...
You do realize that one of our senators is Lindsey Graham, don't you?
They should have known that Fred was the only choice. Period. End of debate.
I find it interesting that you have chosen blame conservatives in three separate states for your candidates loss and to mock them for their choice.
Well, I am one of those South Carolinians that did vote for Thompson. And guess what? I am not mad at the other voters. Why? Because I am mad at Thompson. He entered the race late (he moves at a procrastinating pace) and ran the most ho hum campaign of all the candidates.
I did get to see Fred campaigning over in York. I took this picture of him as he was telling the crowd how he expected them to get the word out.
Hmmm...Seems liberals did a pretty good job of destroying the Republican party by pretending to be conservatives.
GOP, 1856-1/22/2008
RIP.
