Just heard on Laura Ingram (quoting Carl Cameron of FoxNews) that Thompson will drop out tomorrow.
Bad results, ill mother....
Romney has been playing dirty tricks on Thompson since the fake website Romney put up before Thompson got in the race.
I agree that Romney did some nasty things at the beginning of the campaign, but lately I think he has changed his ways. I guess you could call it flip flop, but I call it learning a valuable lesson.
Actually, this primary season has been a really sickening display of how the media is manipulating the minds of sheeple at will. The fix is in on a multitude of levels.
All i can say is that we are not powerless. If the new media can topple Dan Rather and swiftboat “Jon Carey”, it can find a way to get other information out too.
Obama and Hillery scare me. It scares me even more to hear people I know are intelligent in other arenas supporting them and buying their cover stories. Most people do not look below the surface and have no comprehension of the evil that is out there. I am so thankful for FR, where we can get a deeper, broader picture.
For what it’s worth, I watched CNN this morning instead of FOX...first time in years.
Fred will not be at the top of your ticket idea, the best Fred can hope for would be VP, and I personally don’t see that as an option.
The only reason I want Fred first is because he is old has heck and can’t run in eight years as he will be pushing 80. Romney is at least 15 years younger than Fred and can run in 2016. Do we want another open ticket again? I don’t this is ridiculous.
Thompson was born in 42, Romney in 47. Must be the die job.
Do you speak as a Fred supporter? Or have you been supporting another candidate?
Great screen name. Fits you.
Yes...I'm bigoted against cults.
30 years ago it would have been called common sense.
Today, people like you try to make it politically incorrect to refuse to vote for a candidate with nutty beliefs that rival Dennis Kucinich's UFO theories.
Won't vote for Hare Krishnas.
Won't vote for Scientologists.
...and won't vote for a Mormon either.
Sue me.
Have fun with it! Just to remind you...
When Scooter Libby was being dragged through the mud, who was the ONLY ONE to have the balls to stand up for Libby?
That’s the type of quality individual you lose should Fred surrender.
It’s also the thanks Fred gets from the RINO Party Elite.
If President Reagan were running today, his own party would do him in.
But character is revealed. Just as someone who only stops cheating because it isn’t working has revealed his/her character.
They saddled him with the RINO Bush, even then, after trying to do him in without success.
If Thompson goes, I go to. It’ll be Lib v. Lib in November.
I’ll vote conservative in local elections, but nationally I’ll write in Thompson.
1. Romney planted the fake “Thompson-is-dropping-out” Politico story before the Iowa cacuses to suppress Thompson support.
2. Romney camp openly brags about silly dirty tricks like sending room service (and a wake up call) to Thompson’s room at 4:30 am the morning of one of the debates. (It woke up Mrs. Thompson and the children; by the Grace of God, Thompson was in another room because he needed sleep.)
3. Romney pulled a dirty trick in Michigan on McCain -— they made a deal for McCain to give his concession speech, then Romney, so they would not overlap -— Romney lied, waited for McCain to start, then started his speech, so as to knock McCain off the air.
Romney is just a sleazeball, or has allowed himself to be surrounded by sleazeballs.
Keep it Classy, Romney
Yeah, Mitt said it was an “accident.”
You must be on crack.
Well, that seems to be the case. Right now the McCainiacs and the Huck-o-phites all all flaming Fred for staying in and stealing their thunder.
Geesh, this whole race is just too kooky.
Anybody but McCain. Anybody but McCain. Anybody but McCain.
Vote for the most conservative candidate.
All this tactical voting does is help liberals think they have mandates.
I will, of course, but if it's down to McCain, Romney, Guiliani, and Huck, who the hell is "the most conservative candidate" in that sorry group?
By the time it gets to my state (NJ), I worry that it may be down to McCain.
He's as loopy as Britney Spears.
