I used to be a Thompson supporter, but after the poor showing at the debate, I've had enough of him. It now seems obvious to me that the only one I will be able to stomach voting for is Ron Paul. I resisted for a long time because some of his supporters struck me as, well, kind of nuts. They may or may not be. But it's not his supporters I'm voting for. If you just look at the candidates' records and what they are saying, Ron Paul is the only one who seems to be in touch with what's wrong with our country and what needs to be done to make America once again the "shining city on the hill".

Thompson to... EL-RON?

Bovine excrement. I’m not buying it.

Just when you think politics can't get any cheaper or trashier, this happens.

Are these campaigns being run by former used car salesmen?

Exactly. America has not been stabbing its fighting forces in the back nearly enough. Ron Paul is finally the right traitor for the job.

Surrendering to the islamists is going to put the shine back into the city on the hill?

A huge amount of hot air with Ron Paul’s name on it?

Sounds about right.

You've got a stronger stomach than me apparently.

I try not to pay too much attention to his until about a month before Iowa; when I saw his support here in San Francisco, that is all I needed to know about him.

Hey Ron, why don’t you fly the blimp to the northeast this Sunday?

To claim to once be for Thompson and for what he stands and now to be for Ron Paul is preposterous. The most important issue in this campaign is defending this nation from the Islamofascists. Thompson and the other candidates get that. Ron Paul doesn’t get it. He will never be the commander of chief of this nation.

From Thompson to Run (from the enemy) Paul? Someone stopped taking their meds, didn’t they?

Where is the obligatory picture of the Hindenburg?

Paul has SOME good ideas, but his over-the-edge isolationism makes him full of hot air.

That's why you were posting Ron Paul pieces on November fifth. you just knew Thompson would someday disappoint you in a debate.

How about just stump for your candidate, without dissembling?

"..some of his supporters struck me as, well, kind of nuts."

You could do as I do; simply ignore the "nuts".

I choose to be defined by my own actions, not of those who coincidentally share the same space as I.

You're PROBABLY a Hillary CLINTON supporter to0, smart ass. LOL! I LOVE people that call up shows and say "I was a life long Republican until...." whatever incident they want to SHOVE down someone's throat.

I will echo another, "BOVINE EXCREMENT". You were NO such thing, and Ron Paul Bot is what your name OUGHT to be.

This "I was for Fred but now I'm for ..." is becoming a theme here lately. It's always from someone with no post history supporting Fred Thompson.

If these ploys are supposed to make us all throw up our hands and run from Fred [who had a very good showing in the debate, I might add] they don't work and they are not believed. Just honestly support your candidate of choice and Fred supporters will do the same.

Gosh, I look at Ron Paul’s actual introduced legislation in congress, I read his floor speeches.. What exactly are you thinking he’s going to do that he hasn’t already tried to do in Congress?

Because in Congress, he’s voted for deficit spending, he’s voted for increased size of government, he’s voted for more federal intervention into the rights of states. Just like this blimp that was supposed to be up in the air nine hours ago, he’s going no where fast.

I was a loyal Republican until the party drifted to the left...and left me behind. Now I’m a party of one.

(And you’re really a DummyCrat, because IF you were a REAL Republican, it WOULD be Mr. Thompson you’re supporting and NOT Anarchist Paul! Instead you’re choosing the kook to support? I hate liars and thieves, both should be hung!)
