Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen. John McCain Friday, calling on the party to "close ranks" behind the presumed nominee

No, if I vote for mclame, I WILL be voting for the RAT. No thanks.
You do not get to a position of power, like being a US Senator, without the backing of the party. The Party picked McCain, now anyone who want anything from the Party will back McCain. I am surprised Thomspon sold out. I thought he meant it when he said he was done with politics. But I guess running for Pres lite the fever in him. Wonder what he got for this?
Simply amazing to watch and see how divorced from their base the Party Establishment has gotten,. Think it maybe has reached a crises point with McCain and this election. Going to be an interesting year to watch. The ONE saving grace maybe it is starting to look as if the Democrats are even MORE screwed up then the GOP. I did not think that was possible.
Coming right up!
“We got played.”
“McCain is the nominee. Mission accomplished”
“Cue the music from The Sting. “
Damn.
Thanks for the giggle. I agree.
InSain gets no cred around here cause he has stabbed us in the back so many times we look like spagetti strainers. That said, I will hold my nose this election.
Pray for W and Our Troops
They are all trying to sell us a McCain we all know doesnt really exist. They cannot spin people like us because of our superior knowledge of their candidates history. When they try to spin us, we get insulted and angered because we know the information they are providing is misleading at best, and in many cases borders on a lie.
They would be much better off to simply walk away from us for awhile. All they are doing with this blare of Pro McCain pimping is pissing us off

Their best bet is just to let the Democrats do their recruiting for them. After all, the Democrats are doing their level best to run McGovern 2.0 this year. Since the Repbos are running Nixon 2.0, they might actually have a chance of winning in Nov after all!
I’ll vote for McCain when hell freezes over.
Perfectly stated. Not only the articles of lies, but their insults as well.
Rudy's biggest problem was abortion. Rudy should have admitted that he was wrong and come out against Roe v. Wade. Rudy didn't do that and that was his undoing (as I predicted).
So now we have McCain. McCain's biggest problem is his amnesty bill. Will McCain now admit that he was wrong and come out against amnesty?
I can tell you this. If he doesn't come out against amnesty, he has no chance.
“RINO FRomnbey calls Hunk the Hickster
I guess a real Washington insider...city slicker would know..”
Yes, Nana, all Hunter supporters called Huck that and worse until Hunter supported him. Hunter’s endorsement didn’t change what Huck is, a con artist, and he conned Hunter or Hunter wasn’t the man we all thought he was in the first place.
Well he has said in debates it was a mistake. The the people do not trust Washington on this and he would now secure the border first. Problem for McCain is, Can we believe him?
If I can be called anything here during the last six months, it would have been a FredHead, so here goes an appropriate response to your post:
I am happy for Thompson’s backing of McCain, and I hope it is the first step toward his being asked to run as VP.
I would enthusiastically support McCain if he were to engineer such a ticket. I would like McCain/Hunter even more.
Fred did not come out and endorse anyone. He said he would not endorse. He STILL has not ENDORSED. He is rallying around the Republican nominee, that’s all.
McCain has not won the nomination yet. It is believed that he will, and unless Huckabee pulls off too many delegates in the remaining primary races, McCain will be the nominee. Everyone says that is to be, and I believe McCain will be the nominee.
McCain’s choice of VP will be VERY IMPORTANT if there is a chance for the DEMS to be overcome. I hope and pray that the VP will make it possible for our side to keep the White House!
Not voting allows the DEMS to win! Even in the primary race, staying home will accomplish nothing. Everyone should vote for their favorite or vote for one of the candidates left in the primary race. Please vote!
“Fred was in the race to win.”
You were played.
I suppose I’ll ask Earthdweller for career writing advice rather than you. But your response mixed with the others shows that it was actually a very effective piece of writing.
Are you the type of guy who goes onto a Unicorn Admirer website and tell them that they have to give up their Unicorn ethics so that the predators can be in charge?
