Apparently, a handful of former Fred Thompson supporters are keeping the faith. They’ve been trying to organize grassroots supporters to vote for Thompson anyway, despite the fact that he’s dropped out of the race…
There is a reason Fred Thompson hasn’t endorsed any other Republican candidate for President. If the FRED ARMY can come through on Super Tuesday and deliver a victory in Tennessee, he will re-enter the race and give us the conservative alternative we need!
Mitt Romney is a phony conservative. John McCain is an honorable servant, but he is not the right man to represent our party. Mike Huckabee is a liberal in conservative clothing.
Only Fred Thompson can save our party and our nation.
Fred may not be out on the campaign trail, but you can be. His name is still on the ballot and we can still get the word out. This election year is unlike any other. Fred Thompson was leading the polls before he got into the race, there’s no good reason why he can’t lead again.
Get out and vote for Fred! Wave signs for Fred! Call friends, call family members, open the phone book and call everyone! Make a YouTube video or share an eCard to remind people they can still vote for Fred.
Victory in Tennessee means victory for America!
We can and we must win!
Imagine the headlines: Thompson wins more delegates than Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee! Thompson beats Huckabee in California, Alabama, and New York! Thompson re-enters race as Romney and Huckabee drop out!
WE CAN DO IT! LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN!
FRED THOMPSON 2008 - FRED FOREVER!
The idea isn’t quite as crazy as it might sound. Back in 1992, Paul Tsongas suspended his campaign and then rejoined the race, thinking Clinton had been fatally wounded by a string of sex scandals. It didn’t quite work for Tsongas, but he did perform well in New York.
Not here in Illinois. It would be meaningless. I'm going for Romney today. But if Fred does well in Tennessee I'll reconsider him. But I have to say, I am disappointed in the way he ran his campaign, and will have to think long and hard before I change back. Once burned, and all that. He's right on the issues, but wrong on tactics.
ditto.
This is getting pretty silly!
that ship has definitely sunk
Fred gets my vote next Tuesday (MD). I will not, absolutely NOT vote for McAmnest.
True, if everyone does as you do.
Fred Thompson is preoccupied for the moment with his mother, who is sick.
I won’t vote for McCain (if I’m going to vote for a lib, I’ll vote Democrat). I won’t vote for Hillary or Obama.
I fully intend to write Fred’s name in.
Don’t lecture me about the lost vote, folks. The more we compromise, the more we lose our soul. It’s time to get back to conservatism, and you don’t do that by voting more and more to the left.
People used to say Fred was lazy. Now he's a quitter, and this time there's no arguing that.
Generals are supposed to lead their army, not the reverse.
I supported Fred from the beginning, I sent more money to him than anyone in my life.
I implore Fred Heads...
PLEASE
Vote for Romney. Conservatism is *hanging by a thread*
This is no time for foolish dreaming.
Fred isn’t even voting for Fred!
He had his shot, he failed.
We have to support Romney.
Please see the logic in this.
It is simply political reality, and the vast majority of Fred supporters are doing this.
If Fred is interested in VP, he is there to be asked.
Weather forecast for TN — Bad.
Weather forecast for AR — Bad.
Who wants their guy to win the most? Tornadoes and broken glass?
no,
this is just vote split pandering to help mccain.
sorry no sale.
he had his chance. He quit he should stay out.
Rino Rudy at least had the decency to endorse his fellow Democrat.
Precisely.
It is sad that even conservatives, who know better, buy into lies propagated by the MSM (e.g., lazy campaign, B.S. I see repeated even on this thread) about Fred and his his campaign.
Do what Ronald Reagan said to do: vote for the most conservative person.
Even if “Fred has no chance” it sends the message that we have left Uncle Karl Rove’s plantation.
Unfortunately he dropped out.
We will not take the chance that McCain will be a winner because we did not vote for Romney.
We will NEVER vote for McCain.
Elvis would be better than any of the four asshats who are running now ... dead or alive ....
With nothing but love and affection in my heart, I have to say this is another demonstration of the fact that denial is not simply a river in Egypt.
Yes, he is, and with good reason.
We’ll do our part while he is occupied.
Fred reentering the race is a wet dream. I am going to hold my nose and go for Romney.
Sorry, voting for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil.
I’ve left the plantation!
Free at last, people. Free at last!
