To those of you that that stood for your Conservative principles today, I offer my respect and appreciation.

Losing FRed and Duncan was a tremendous blow for us, and a loss for our Country. Standing on principle may not be the most admired action in today's world, but in tomorrow's world, many will wish they had the courage and integrity that you showed today.
I'm proud to be a Conservative, and to have supported a Conservative candidate like FRed Thompson, as well, you should be of Duncan Hunter.
After the general is over with, and the DUmmies have taken the White House, many across our Country will have doubts about their own principles and integrity, and will rue the day they decided not to support the only two REAL Conservative candidates.

Last call for a FRedhead ping! :(

As a Romney supporter, I’ll salute you guys, too. I have no problem with those who vote on conservative principles and what they believe.

I do have major problems with McCain, but that’s for another thread...

[Shadow44]

I’ll salute Fred, but I question Hunter’s judgment on backing Huckabee. Both are top notch conservatives though.

[sourcery]

No one's perfect—not even Fred, Duncan or Reagan. Romney is even less perfect, but is still far better than either of McCain or Huckabee. I voted for Romney today. Not with any enthusiasm. But not holding my nose, either.

I will not vote for either McCain or Huckabee. I'll vote third-party instead.

[JohnnyZ]

Amen.

Conservative hopes died after South Carolina - just a RINOfest after that.

Maybe McCain picks a conservative VP. We'll see.

Now you’ve done it!

Is there a way we can convince them to run together on the Constitution Party ticket?

[jellybean]

My computer crashed again so I'm using an outdated ping list. I apologize if you've asked to be removed and were pinged or if you asked to be added, but are not on the list.

[Loud Mime]

I would love this ticket as much as the liberals would hate it.

you know....they just can’t run out of hatred...kind of like those Islamic pukes.

[Rusty0604]

I was a Fred supporter; Duncan was my second choice. Now am hoping for a Romney win mostly in opposition to McCain. I’m beginning to wonder how much damage can a democrat do in 4 years and then the swing will go to a conservative?

[Josh Painter]

I walked into the polling place with every intention of voting for Romney to try to stop McCain. But when I marked my ballot, I wound up voting for Thompson.

I was one of only 3,095 Missouri voters who voted for Fred. Even if all of the voters in Missouri who voted for a candidate outside of the “Big 3” had voted for Romney instead, it would not have been enough to have made a difference for him. So my vote didn’t help or hurt McCain, Mitt or Huck.

It had been a long time since I had voted my convictions instead of voting against (or settling for) someone I didn’t believe in. And it felt good. At least I’ll sleep well tonight.

Thanks, papasmurf...

"After the general is over with, and the DUmmies have taken the White House, many across our Country will have doubts about their own principles and integrity, and will rue the day they decided not to support the only two REAL Conservative candidates."

The global regime will continue, and Hillary will make our prevailing leaders (importing, off-shoring constituents) behind their politicians happy. Social engineering services will also continue to keep the labor pool large (cheap) and the potential domestic competition down.

The Middle East is what will bite them. Imagine the army that Hillary will draft. LOL! ...big numbers with no morale or fight.

[Bull Market]

No regrets, dude. No regrets.

[ERJCaptain]

I respect them as much as I respect the Huckster, bit players who allowed McCain to win the nomination.

It’s actually quite interesting. I was reading FR long before I started posting and you could see just a quite pathetic line. The conservatives went to Duncan... okay he’s not going to win... Let’s go to Fred... well, he’s not going to win.... Let’s finally go to Mitt.

Fred Thompson betrayed conservatives as did Duncan Hunter by not endorsing Mitt Romney. He stood for the same things they did, albeit not from day one, but McCain? The Huckster?

Many of you should be ashamed.

[Tennessee Nana]

Can someone who was blessed enough to vote for Duncan while he was still running get in on this too ????

[moehoward]

Bump!!

We had our chance.
Our last chance, and we blew it.

Too bad the Limbaugh's, Hannity's, Levins, Coulters and Malkins that couldn't be bothered with speaking of these conservatives as often as they spoke against the supposed "front-runners" of the time won't see this.
