I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said.
I was a financial supporter (a $ small one) back in ‘94 when he first ran for the Senate.
But his campaign has never been able to get some serious traction. And I think I know why.
Earlier today on Dennis Prager’s show, a DC political analyst (was it Bill Sammon?) said that Thompson just doesn’t seem to have the fire in the belly. He cited several examples.
What I wish Thompson had done was have gotten in the race sooner. All the hemming and hawing he did last summer gave a n impression to many people that he wasn’t committed to the race.
Who served in the military
is Pro Life
against illegals and nafta?
Is that the same guy supported by both Birkenstocker hippies/anarchists and KKK/Neo-Nazi types? No thanks!
and what is remarkable is that Osama Obama is a Muslim.
That takes a lot of guts, doesn’t it?
I’m going to vote for the RINO cuz the polls say...and the media says...and I heard that...
I thought this was a conservative forum.
I’m silly enough to believe Rudy will win Florida.
All the Romney folks hope we’ll all rush to Mitt.
That’s why they’re bashing him so hard.
Of course, the supported a RINO from the beginning, so why should their opinions matter, any way?
He should with all the time and money he has spent there. Tied with 2 others in the polls cannot be good news for Rudy. He should be ahead in the polls at this point in time.
If all the people who say they were supporting Fred today actually did it, he’d win by 20 points.
Yes, and in that thread is a post from a Thompson campaigner who says Carl Cameron’s reporting is BS.
For all of you who are so anxious to get the last conservative out of the race, I ask: Are you just RINOs?
You supported Romney over Fred in the first place.
Your advice is suspect.
I’m not anxious at all. But Fred seems to be not connecting as he needs to. I’ll vote for him if he’s still in it on Super Tuesday.
In past post, you’ve accused the media of controlling the primaries. But you come on to FR today to post, repeatedly, that you’re a former FredHead now supporting Mitt.
Who is in control of your vote?
Fair enough. All Fred needs are votes.
Even if Fred doesn’t win your state, it will be harder to ignore the conservative voting block.
The media is already spinning the McCain “landslides” as the death knell for conservatives.
I will not participate in their plans.
If Fred does not win in my state (Tennessee), well .....fill in the blank
Fred is “done” because those who say they wanted to vote for him, did not.
Who is in control of your vote?
I am in control of my vote. Fred has not made the move that I expected him to make with voters in South Carolina and in other states. Now other FredHeads are faced with either wasting a vote and allowing John McCain to take over our party...or we get behind a candidate who can defeat John McCain.
I choose to make sure that my vote counts towards something and does not allow unwanted circumstances to arise from overlooking reality.
You mean John McCain from here in Arizona?? lol
Unfortunately, I am in Florida and we have not voted yet.
Maybe Fred will win in your state if you, and others like you, support him.
This has been a calculated process, state by state, to push voters away from Fred. Why? Do you think it’s personal?
It’s because he is conservative. Voting for the RINO gives the MSM the ammunition they need to call the conservative movement “dead.”
I’m sticking with him until he leaves the race. Tomorrow may be different and I’ll deal with it. But I’m voting my conservative conscience.
