I am supporting Thompson because:
A): His conservative principles match mine
B)): He can get the country back in the right direction
C): I believe he can win- especially if conservatives and Republicans get over the 'only one who can beat _______' lie and support him.
When you settle for less, that is what you get. I'm not settling. Been there, done that.
I like Fred too, but the fact is who is conservative enough in our eyes to actually win? Knocking Romney out of the race does not necessarily help Fred. It probably insures a Guiliani presidency. Fred needs to help Fred out there on the campaign trail.
