Double damn. If I wasn’t at work, I’d be crying right now. Just sitting here fighting back the tears.

This country has no conservative candidate and my vote is now a stay home.

This country is doomed.

Fred is a good man. He gave it a shot, on his terms, and it didn’t work out. He didn’t compromise, and he went out with class.

It’s clear that the liberal commie media is in full control. They ran off Tancredo, Hunter, now Thompson. They certainly can not be having actual conservative Republicans running for President. That is reserved for RINO’s and CCID’s (Communist Calling Itself Democrat).

Well “republicans” you had your chance, and ya’ll f****d it off.

Final advice? Get rifles and ammo while you can cause after getting the illegal aliens amnestied they will be finding ways to disarm everyone no matter what the Supreme Court decides.

Good Luck.

I’m still writing Freds name in. Just can’t bring myself to vote for a RINO again.

Hickelbee will be out after Florida.

Then, It’s a choice between McInsane, Rootie Tootsie and Romney. Willima Buckley endorsed Romney as did Tancredo.

Romney ain’t pefect, but he’s better than Mclame, Rudy and Hillary.

A sad day. Hopefully, the other candidates have at least learned a little from Fred.

"This country has no conservative candidate and my vote is now a stay home."

Good for you! You just screwed over my very Conservative Congressman John Culberson. So you abandon your fellow soldiers on the battlefield to be slaughtered! What honor!

Enjoy your 3 new Supreme Court Justices hand picked by Hillary.

I’ve got no one left to vote for.

Me, either. Sad, isn’t it?

Just like me. When ever I was late for work, I always left early to make up for it.
