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

I’m all for a lifeline :) Think I’ll stick to my still right given in the 2nd A. But a lifeline is always good ;)

Honestly, I think we’re screwed no matter who is president today because our society has lost its reason, its values. But when push comes to shove, hell, we’ll push back harder and win. And if we don’t, then this country isn’t what I’ve always known and believed.

Guess the Hildebeast just won the WH back for Bubba.

Only if you sit on your hands and let it happen. This is a FIGHT, folks. Yes, McCain is not what we want, but he's a far sight less liberal than the Hildabeast and Obama. Think of SCOTUS, the WOT, taxes, spending, etc. Think of Congress. If you sit home and pout, you'll just give it all over to the libs. Don't let it happen.

That's the last straw -- we have officially made the transition:

Actually, those are my Dad’s names for Romney and Hucklebee. So yes, he’s proud that I quote him directly. :-)

“less liberal “....JUST DOESN’T CUT IT.

What support? Hunter never had over 1%.

I guess it was a choice between two liberals.

And yes, McCain is a liberal...his overall ACU rating may be in the eighties but his recent ratings are low as hell.

Okay. Glad to see some humor on this thread.

Yeah, I believe the same thing. Some say that we needed a Carter in order to get a Reagan. Let’s see if that happens again.

A sad day indeed for those of us who once supported him in what was clearly a phony campaign.

seems to be a lot of fair weather friends here tonight.

The Republican party is now deciding to take the situation that is and now pull together.

Instead of seeing this a positive, most of you are sounding like spoiled little kids, arms folded, scowling out from under your eyebrows, lower lip stuck out - .... grow up

Just imagine the field day the MSM will have promoting their young, clean, articulate media darling Ubama over those “sick, cancerous, old, white, establishment, Washington insiders”...anyone else hear that big ol’ flushing sound, or is it just me? :*(

[NoGrayZone]

I simply can’t support a lib no matter what letter he has at the end of his name.

[redangus]

He won a debate and got his head handed to him in the election. You people are delusional, but then we all knew that. This isn't a debating society it is an election, something Dr. Keyes has never had any luck competing in. Get a life. Dr. Keyes was once a great man I admired, recently he has become a caricature of himself. It is this type of idiocy that got us McCain as our candidate thanks.

Allen may be too controversial because of that ludicrously overblown “macaca” thing (nevermind that Allen’s opponent was a vicious anti-Semite, violent racist, and enjoyed writing about pedophilia).

[hocndoc]

You know, you could just remind people without the “by pretending that Dr. Keyes doesn’t exist they’re basically mirroring the behavior of the Democrat Media” charge.

[maine-iac7]

There goes my respect for you down the toilet...

with that kind of fair weather "respect", I suspicion he's not going to miss it

[Hiddigeigei]

But, if the country goes down the tubes because of one president, well, this country wasn’t as great as I thought.

Wilson! - Harding! - Coolidge - Hoover - FDR! - Truman! - Ike - JFK! - Johnson! - Nixon! - Ford! - Carter! - Reagan - GHW Bush! - Clinton! - GW Bush! ...
What a list of rogues, satyrs, and second-raters!
I’m surprised we made it this far!

[EternalVigilance]

Well, frankly, in that regard there’s been little difference between “conservative” “leaders” or media and the Dem Media.
