Pushing Fred Thompson to Re-Enter the Race?
The Conservative Pulse ^ | 02/05/2008 | Austin Cassidy

Posted on 02/05/2008 7:53:49 AM PST by TheThirdRuffian

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.

I love Fred and if he was still running I would vote for him, but at this point, it is a waste of a vote. I’ll vote for Mitt and pray for the best.

Anybody ask Fred?

That said, I will pull the lever for him today. NYS is going to McCain. Romney doesn’t have a chance here.

I plan to go and write Fred in, if he isn’t on the GA ballot.

I’ve wanted a chance to vote for him for well over a decade. I am NOT wasting it. :)

I think Elvis is more likely to re-enter the race.

come on guys. Conservatives didn’t want to support him when they had their best chance to nominate a true conservative.

That makes two of us.

McCain? Honorable servant? I don’t consider John McCain’s politics to be honorable by any stretch of the imagination, unless a political Benedict Arnold would also a patriot.

The possibility still exists that there will be a brokered convention. If none of the current candidates go into the convention with enough delegates, anything can happen.

That was the circumstance with Chestur Arthur and his run against Winfield Hancock.

Nobody asked George Washington; they just showed up at his door with torches and a carriage.

The best presidents have been the ones we’ve drafted.

Fred Thompson was my candidate.

But he chose to be the last to come to work and the first to leave. And that is no recipe for success in any endeavor in life.

Just can’t vote for McCain, Romney, or Huckabee in the primary. I will vote for the Republican candidate in the general election.

Today I voted for Jerry Curry - retired Army general, Vietnam combat vet, strong conservative, and born-again Christian. Just wish he had more traction out there.

It didn’t quite work for Tsongas

Didn't work too well for Perot either; I don't think it would work for Fred.

Why vote for Fred when you can sell out to your favorite liberal?
