I can only speak for myself, but I do not worship any man (or woman, well, maybe my wife). Thompson is the only conservative in the race. Yes, I know he wasn’t a conservative in 1972, but neither was I.

I do not believe that any other Republican currently in the race would get the conservatives motivated to work and vote for him. IOW, anybody else will lose in November, no matter whom the Dems nominate. Republican presidential candidates do not have a very good track record if they do not mobilize the conservative base.

The ability to win in November, which seems to be what motivates Republicans to misguidedly nominate non-conservatives, is only half of the story. Even if Huck or Mac win in November, what would he do after he becomes President? The recent records of Huck and Mac do not reassure me that they will even nominate Constitutionalists as justices, let alone support other conservative causes.

I can respect your support of Thompson, but language like this is a bit over the top.

Especially when you consider that every national poll shows that McCain is the only one that would beat the Dems (in a theoretical match up).

I would have agreed with you last Friday before SC and I would have agreed with you if Thompson would have finished closer to McCain and Huckabee in SC, but I am now facing a strange reality. The conservative base may not be as important as we wish it would be.

When McCain can win in a state that is supposedly a conservative gauge, I have to stand back and take another look at things. McCain, the man who would give this country away, won. He won in a state where the biggest supposed issue is immigration. The biggest issue is immigration so they vote for MCCAIN AND HUCKABEE???!!!!

I am left scratching my head as my main guy, Hunter, left the race. My next best hope is Thompson. I just can't kick this feeling of being kicked in the chest. How can Republicans and so-called conservatives vote for a man, McCain, after the last few years of his actions? How did America stand up and shout down McCain's attempt to shove "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" down our throats and now they are voting for this same man and putting him at the top of the Republican ticket?
