Today is the day.
None of the votes from the upstate have been tallied. Once these come in, Huckabee’s numbers will skyrocket.
Click on “see detailed results.”
Even McCain? Hillary is a dangerous socialist. McCain is just dangerous.
Heads will explode.
Fred could have at least grown a thicker head of hair. Must be he just doesn't want it badly enough.
He didn't and I'm not sure he said it about Romney either even though you can tell that Romney's, Rush's second choice behind Thompson.
Well it also has to do both CNN and MSNBC have a much better graphics package. It doesn’t just fixate on the top two canidates. From a visual stand point Fox Election Coverage sucks. I just hit the mute button and leave it on either msnbc or CNN to see the graphics.
Fred down to 11% again...
Thank you for the courtesy pings.
Nevada had caucuses. SC will likely go for Obama, anyway—so Harpootlian must have sent the Dems to vote today. That’s the only explanation.
There now.....ya feel better? I certainly hope so.
Who are these friggin losers voting for MCain or Huckabee???? Have people lost their minds or are they that ignorant??
You too have a gift for understatement.
Ha. Blaming the idiot American people for the horribleness of your preferred candidate. That’s rich.
Actually, SC doesn't have a huge illegal alien problem, most of our agriculture is mechanized, we don't have that many poultry plants and such. The beaches, with all the service jobs have a lot.
As far as why RINOs are winning....most folks don't pay as much attention as us, and Fred did run a lackluster campaign. The average voter still didn't know anything about him.
Read and see just how many are open primaries.....

Its all media bs.
Who needs conservative principles when you’re good at pr /s
But when Fred gets his speech warmed up (I will admit it needs a few turns on the old crank), and you listen to what he's saying, he IS brilliant and he IS inspiring, and he is just dam* correct.
George W. Bush can't do that.
No Conservative should ever consider voting for McCain. We worry the others will betray us. We know McCain will betray us. Look at his record for the last 8 years? Been nothing but betrayal and obstruction.
With any of the other canidates we have a seat at the table. We know John McCain will never listen to us on anything.
With McCain Conservatives would get maybe 10%. That would not be worth the enormous long term damage McCain would do to both the GOP and the Conservative Movement. With a McCain Administration we would have a mislabeled “Conservative” Administration pushing Democrat Party polices while the GOP took all the political fall out of the consequences of those disastrous decisions.
Just what could Conservatives expect to get from a McCain Administration? Based on McCain’s record for the last 8 years, we could expect to get tough talk on foreign policy and spending with no real action on any issue.
Do people forget the Democrats trying to get McCain to flip party’s in Jan 2006? Forget that Dems wanted McCain as their VP candidate in 2004?
How quickly the supposed Conservatives for McCain forget McCain’s political record. From Tax-cuts to the War to Judges McCain’s whole strategy has been to be as Liberal as possible and stay in the GOP.
Politically there is very little difference between Hillary and McCain. You get minor variations on this and that issue, like abortion, but over all McCain and Clinton share the same political philosophical outlook
McCain has done nothing for the Conservative movement in 8 years. While talking a good game on spending, he has done nothing. This is particularly galling considering all the issues CFR, Judges, Immigration Anti Torture Amendment-Gang of 14 etc etc etc issues which McCain was more then willing to throw his weight behind an issues to get legislation passed.
McCain has actively worked against the Conservatives on Social issues, on the WOT, on Iraq, on Gitmo, against Rummy, on Immigration and on Judges, on Global Warming etc etc etc etc etc. McCain has far more in common with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama then he does with any Conservative.
Funny how the Talking Heads miss this. Out of 49 Republican Senators McCain has been ranked 45th by the American Conservative Union for his voting record!
McCain would be the worse of both worlds. A mislabeled “Conservative” Administration actively advancing the Democrat Party’s agenda while knifing Conservatives in the back daily. You could even count on a McCain Administration appointing Leftist Judges in order to avoid fighting with the Democrats in the US Senate.
Tough on Foreign Policy? You think Mr “Close Gitmo and extend the same legal protections US Citizens have to the terrorists” McCain is going to have a “tough” foreign policy? The father of the Baker Commission and the plan to surrender Iraq to Iran and Syria is “strong on Foreign Policy”? Not based on his recored. The wrost thing that a McCain Administration would do is it would fracture the few remaining GOP Congress critters into pro and anti McCain factions. McCain would be the worst of all world politically for the Conservatives.
At least with a Democrat Leftist Administration, as opposed to a McCain Leftist with a GOP Label Administration, the Democrats would get all the political fall out of their disastrous political decisions and the GOP would unite in fighting them. The worst of all possible worlds for Conservatives in 2008 would be McCain getting elected President.
Fred back up to 12%... and Rudy’s isn’t in 6th place anymore!!! He he he
