Fred Thompson NEVER had his heart in this race.
Glad he’s out, we didn’t need a half baked attempt.
He would have been better than any of your other “heart in the race” candidates who only care about power.
Thompson cared about the country - not power.
I got the impression his wife was more energized to win the White House than he was.
Well at least he’ll be back on the Paul Harvey Show. Think Tony Snow will still do a turn as well?
Pretty strong language...what’s YOUR evidence? Did you ever personally SEE Fred on the campaign trail....let me guess...probably not...your no “fire in the belly” is a direct result of the media throwing Fred under the bus. This is a classic example of how repeating something many times makes people believe it’s true. Just because Fred didn’t start campaigning the day after GWB took the oath of office in 2004 equates to having no desire to be president. I question sometimes when others seem to want it too much.
What the media and the primary system has done to this country borders on criminal. Most of the idiots still are told what to do by the media...If the media paints you as lazy...you’re lazy...if the media gives you a pass on lying to a grand jury...it’s acceptable behavior. Think back for just a minute to Iowa....Fred spent most of the day (election day to boot) refuting rumors that he was dropping out of the race. How many times do you have to go on TV and tell these dorks that you’re NOT dropping out before they believe it. I heard Fred tell Fox News that the story was BS and it was the lead on H&C 9 hours later. If the media loves you (today) you’re golden, if someone else comes along that strikes their fancy, you wake up next to a horses head.
Romney is a consumate politician, screw his religion, think back to his record. If he was such a conservative...how’d he get elected governor in a state that sends the likes of Kennedy; Kerry; and Barney Frank to Congress. Guess the voters had a change of heart? Not likely.
McQueeg IS the consumate RINO, look in the dictionary under RINO and you’ll see his picture. He has backed doored conservatives so many times that I wouldn’t want him standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders. And, while I appreciate his service to our country (like thousands of other Viet Nam era veterans) he is held sancrosanct because he was a POW. At the risk of getting flamed....nice guy...lousy A-4 pilot.
Hucklenuts is still trying to figure out why he is in the top tier of candidates. He is counting his blessings because the longer he gets media attention, the better his chances for his television ministry after he crashes and burns. Right now, he is riding high on the evangelicals wings because he has convinced them he is one of them. When they REALLY start to look at his record and turn away he may want to start applying for parts in the off-broadway production of Jesus Christ Superstar..the part of Judas should fit him nicely.
Ron Paul....you only have to listen to the guy just once to know he’s certifiable. If YOU’D HONESTLY vote for that nutcase, you may want to find a part-time job working for Claxtons.
As for Rudy...if it weren’t for 9-11, he’d have nothing to run on. He was perceived as a strong leader that day because like Chuckie Shumer, there wasn’t a camera in sight he didn’t run to. He says he is going to take care of the illegal alien problem. I believe him...he’ll develop an amnesty program where they will no longer be “illegal”, problem solved.
I’d like to vote for Rudy....the Rudy that was from Pennsylvania who went to Notre Dame and busted his a$$ to play football. There’s a guy I could vote for. Some one who works his butt off for the good of the team.
I for one am sick and tired of having the party pass off these moderates, liberals, and basic democrats as representatives of MY party. It’s time WE sent a message to Washington loud and clear. WE WANT CONSERVATIVES as our Congressional and Presidential candidates.
If the national party cannot or will not support a candidate that reflects my values why should I support (financially or with my vote) a candidate that would be closer to the left?
I’ve heard the arguments about not wanting Hillary in the White House and the “anyone but Hillary” crowd. But with McCain, Romney or Gulianni can you state with certainty that we won’t end up with a liberal agenda? I think not.
McCain will team up with Kennedy and his “good friend” Sen. Kerry to push through social programs; raising taxes, establishing amnesty, socialized healthcare all “for the good of the country.” You know it will happen. With Romney, you know it, you’re just afraid to admit it.
As long as these types of candidates hold sway in the Republican party I guess I can paraphrase what the last great communicator said when asked why he changed parties:
I didn’t leave the Republican Party....it left me.
