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.

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.

Obviously I am not speaking of Thompson voters when I speak of the particular state.

But I do blame "Conservatives" in those states for NOT voting for Fred. I also blame the system that allows 3 or 4 states (mostly liberal) to choose who MY candidate options are.

I live in Texas. I did not get to vote for whom I thought would be the best person for the job. Nope, Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina got to essentially vote for the entire nation in the great weeding out process.

Life isn't fair, and I know that. But I wonder if Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Alaska, Idaho and Wyoming had primaries before Iowa and the rest; What would be the outcome?

He entered the race late

Actually, no. Everyone else started a year early.
