So far, Mitt Romney is winning overwhelming support, according to a poll at FreeRepublic.com, which had been a place where Fred Thompson's supporters congregated.

That’s how I’ve felt for the last couple of months. Except I was never sure if I’d be allowed to stay in the camp, and whenever someone saw me they’d tell me I should leave.
My guess is Fred will not endorse Mccain. And given their friendship, AND the fact that Fred endorsed McCain in 2000, that lack of endorsement will speak volumes about how Fred feels about McCain’s run for President.
If Fred thought McCain would be a good President, he’d endorse him — Fred’s got no other friends in the race.
But if Fred DID NOT think McCain would be a good President, Fred would withhold his endorsement. But out of friendship, Fred may not give that endorsement to anybody else either.
That is wrong, Jorge is really special, he has raised back stabbing to a new art form. And sadly the person you support is the same way.
You answered your own comment.
In looking at the current slate of remaining GOP candidates...it might be a good thing to be outside the Republican party mainstream...since Fred dropped out, I've been looking at Paul and he sounds more like Fred than any of the other guys.
More or less. But "just not eat" is not an option, unless you are willing to leave the country. If you don't vote, others will choose what you will eat for you.
” Imagine the D.C. gun ban case or any other case of a Constitutional issue being decided by such a Court.”
“Bush’s DOJ filed an amicus brief SUPPORTING the DC gun ban.”
I’m aware of the brief. Let’s see what the Court decides - at least we have a fighting chance. The point is that we must consider the appointments to the Court for situations such as this.
Appointments to the Court are arguably the most important issue in this election - considering the age of some justices.
Are you also forgetting ROMNEYCARE???? MANDATORY insurance and a fine on your tax return this year if you have not signed up -- and it has already overwhelmed the system and the waiting list to see a doctor is growing, just like in Europe where you wait two years for something as simple as a hearing test, There isn't a bit of difference in McCain or Romney and the democrats..
Thompson stated flatly during the campaign that he wasn’t interested in being Veep. Staffers say he was. Staffers are also looking for jobs right now, and getting their names in the press will help, so I take their breathless “inside baseball” statements for what they’re worth.
If Thompson wanted to be McCain’s Veep, he’d have endorsed McCain. I’m sure McCain asked for an endorsement after the SC primary. McCain needs conservatives onboard and may have thought that Thompson was a way to get them. The silence from Thompson has been deafening, and should stop all the unwarranted speculation.
Roberts
Alito
Lots of conservative federal judges
John Bolton
Tax cuts (with no support from a republican congress to make them permanent)
No new taxes
WOT
That’s what we got from Bush. Sorry it wasn’t everything you wanted but since when do you ever get that in the real world?
Since reading isn’t your strong point I guess I won’t bother addressing my support for Romney.
Yup. The PTB have finally manipulated the process to the point where they can't lose. No matter what, the agenda will advance.
You say wrong. You poor deluded soul.
Reagan was never pro-choice. He was always pro-life. He went from no abortions except for the health of the mother to no abortions except for the life of the mother.
Romney supported a woman's "right" to choose to kill her child for any reason imaginable. That made Mitt pro-choice, while Reagan was always pro-life. It is amazing how well Romney has brainwashed some people.
He's also the only pro-lifer left in the race. See the tagline.
And that Norma McCovey, she must hate those pesky coloreds too. I mean she's only one of the leading proponents to end a practice that disproportionately kills black babies. Err, wait...
Regardless of whether Williams endorsed Paul or not, he's absolutely right about this.
“SO- If Fred one day endorses McCain .... will that make Fred a RINO too???”
I say this as a Fred head until he dropped out, YES!
“I am actually starting to like Mitt Romney. I hope he will be gentle.”
Mitt seems like the cuddling, “give-ya-a-reach-around” kind of guy.
Not sure I could bring myself to vote for a Democrat, but I understand the sentiment.
Generally speaking, RINOs don't become RINOs by one act or statement. Fred won't become a RINO, he'll only show that he may have been one, all along. May, have been one, all along.
While we've been sold on the "friendship" between Fred and McCain, we honestly don't know what the nature of that relationship is, colored not just by the Senate Club Members Only mentality, but the Senate Banking hearings of 1996, and what Fred knows about Mrs. Clinton. He clearly must have thought McCain wasn't sufficiently convervative, or as driven on issues, or something, or he wouldn't have run.
Fred's no longer the issue, "my friends," as Captain Queeg likes to say. Whether he's a RINO or not is sort of beside the point, isn't it?
“If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.”
Robert Heinlein
This one sure isn't.
