Consider the source. JS-Online will have you believe we on the right are all far-right fundies...
Tommy COULD attract voters from left-of-center (as JS hopes!) to the right, but I'm just not seeing it. Sorry.
If it's Thompson (beating out Mark Neumann) against Tammy Baldwin? I'll hold my nose and vote for him...

We all know the Republican Party has changed in recent years.Yes, the change has been nothing short of extraordinary. The GOP has hinted repeatedly that someday they might, possibly, contemplate reconsidering their permanent role as the Dems bitch. Maybe. If it's not too "radical". Or "hateful". But don't get your hopes up.

Tommy needs to fade away. Now is not the time for compromise and establishment politics.

Tommy was the one who made Welfare reform a success story for the GOP

The fact that some do is partly a reflection on Thompson and his mix of conservatism, pragmatism, big-tent Republicanism and government activism, a highly personal blend that has often enthralled but sometimes exacerbated the right. [facepalm]

Why do career politicians think the world will end without them. Damn, what was that clowns name from pa, a rino/democrat, that made a specter of himself. Did I spell that wrong?/?

He’s a rino but not to the degree of Scott Brown or the two Maniacs.

Not too centrist. The question is whether he’s too liberal.

I’d vote for Neumann — but I’m not from Wisconsin. I’ll SUPPORT Neumann. I HOPE Wisconsin will. But if Thompson wins the primary? Well, he’d be better than the Progressive Democrat alternative. The questioin is, would Thompson be GOOD ENOUGH to do what’s necessary at THIS POINT in American history to save our Republic?? I’d say the jury is OUT — but I have SERIOUS doubts — about him, and ALL “Establishment Republicans.”
To: Diana in Wisconsin
Bottom line is this.
If a more conservative candidate wins the nomination, I’m voting for that candidate.
If Thompson wins, I’m voting for Thompson.
Tammy Baldwin is the most liberal representative in Congress, and a lesbian on top of that. She needs to go down hard. They’d finally love a win in WI and that will not happen with this vile, filthy, thing running.
