The media has made performance more important than voting record. Plus, they’ve downplayed immigration as an issue. Around 25 US citizens die a day from illegal immigrants, but you never hear about them!

End of the GOP (Reagan wing) as we know it.

Death by RINO stampede! It sucks! Very depressing!

But I’m here for ya. I’m happy to let you vent.
The rest of the population will thank me. Stay here and chat for awhile. Spare the rest of the world.

Yes, does anyone know how this garbage started anyway.

The primaries as I’ve said before are meaningless. I’m sick of seeing the best get trounced.

I think its about bankrupting challengers to the status quo, which they cannot do to Romney.

I’m saving an extra gurney for you Petronski, when your boy Fred drops out.
Are you selling front-row tickets? I'd like to buy!


There's already a line forming. Freepmail me if you're serious, lol

Oh really? And the voters with a stagnant economy and a massive Illegal Alien problem who showed up today to elect Mr Amnesty himself don’t share any of the blame for thiei stupdity in voting for who they thought would win rather then who they say they agree with politically? Read the exit interviews before you cast blame on anyone. Simply unbelievable how stupid some of these people are being. It like McCain's political records doesn't matter in the least. "Oh he was a war hero, we are at war. He should be President". That just ignorance at work.

Does SC have Open Primaries? The state parties need to disallow those damned things. I am a FRed supported but will get behind whoever is the GOP nominee in order to finally dunk Hillary. My hatred for her knows no bounds.

I’m not unhappy with Fred’s campaign. The MSM has yet to tell me what to think on that one.

Fred did grassroots campaigning, the only thing he could do. He got in late because the rest of the field was so horrible.

Fred lazy? Nah. Are voters lazy? Absolutely.

38 - 23 - 19 - 11. 0% reporting (in other words, less than 0.5%).

It seems clear the GOP doesn’t want conservatives this year, so Slick Willard should be in good stead.

Rationalize it in whatever way makes you happy.

But even at that, what it means is that the rats came out to vote for McCain rather than Obama and Shillary.

Where in Nevada? Independents can vote in SC today but how does that affect the dems in Nevada?

Fred has got to beat Mitt, right?

People, what does this mean?

This was IT. This was not a contest for 3rd. Thompson himself said he was putting everything into South Carolina. If he can’t do better than 3rd there, why would he continue? The magical brokered convention does not elevate a 100 delegate candidate to a nomination in an 850 million dollar process? Whoever is the substantial leader there will have most of the votes won and most of the delegates won, and decent American patriots who happen to be delegates will respect what is fair and consistent with democracy and award the nomination to that candidate.

Hanging around for a brokered convention just drains money from supporters for a cause known to be futile.

Everyone loves McCain! Except any conservatives in the know about him. I thought SC had an illegal alien problem. Don’t they know what McCain just tried to do within the last year????? I don’t get it.
