Breaking news on FOX: Fred Thompson quits
Fox News ^

Posted on 01/22/2008 11:17:25 AM PST by tpanther

Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.

Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.

Sorry Owen, I respect your decision, but Romney is not a conservative by my standards and he will NEVER get a vote from me. It is quite irritating to see folks suggest he is and, ‘...ask folks to come on home to Romney’ in effect.

I wouldn’t come on home to stay in the democrat party, and I will not come on home to support a man who agrees with them more often than I can stomach.

I considered sitting out the election if a true conservative was not nominated, then I watch 30 minutes of the Dem debate last night. ANY Rino is 10x better than ANY Dem. 14 years of pent up socialism would be unleashed on the country of if a dem is elected.

Since my guy dropped out two days after I voted for him, I’m switching my support to Ron Paul.

When Fred got in the race I speculated that voters may have difficulty separating Sen Thompson from N.Y. County DA Authur Branch. More specifically, it would be hard for Fred to step out side of his Branch character and voters would expect to see the guy from Law & Order and not who Fred actually is.

Rush just said that recently his brother David wrote a glowing endorsement of Fred...ten days later, Fred dropped out. Now Rush is urging his brother to write an endorsement of McCain and then the Huckster.

It was on radio news and Rush Limbaugh as well. Reportedly his mother is having failing health.

Darn it! I knew this was coming but I tried to block it out. My “La la la la Fred is not quitting la la la la!” didn’t work.
