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

Oh, well. At least the two worst candidates (Rudy and Romney) are out of the race.
There's the first demand that I've seen for someone's donation back. Obviously they made the donation and told the candidate the strings that were attached to it before hand.
Sheesh!
A phony campaign????
Lots of cry babies out tonight.
Sorry, but he’s a thug and a scumbag. He drove around Watts pointing guns at Black people for kicks and his campaign for the Senate was filled to the brim with Jew baiting, first against his Dem primary opponent, then against Allen (who is half-Jewish).

The RINO will probably be Rooty. :(
“As for his getting into the race late, that was seen as a great wisdom here on FR while it was happening. Now, fair weather conservatives are complaining.”
It was never seen as great wisdom by me. I supported Fred early, but no one believed it because I criticized his constant delays at entering the race, and once mocked Fredheads as portraying it all as “a strategy so brilliant only a few could comprehend it, but was in reality indecisiveness and a poor organization.”
I was complaining about his indecisiveness in mid-summer. And I’d attribute the disappointing contributions to the indecisiveness, a poor campaign, and a MSM eager and willing to portray it all in the worst possible light. But, in the end, Fred and his team did a poor job, and a huge amount of support was there for the taking if they’d just been more timely and better organized, and more determined.
Ahhh. Okay, gotcha. That makes sense now. lol
So as much as I dislike a number of McCain's viewpoints, I'd much rather put up with four years of him than eight years of Hillary or Obama.
Fred waited until the race was settled before he said much. That’s rolling over easily?
It’s called electability, but by
now you hopefully know that. That
drum you’re banging? You’ve shredded
it.
There's a LOTLOTLOT of that going around tonight unfortunately.
?????
That seems to be the consensus around here. Sorry I made that original post. :-)
Usually such tactics work for y'all. But you're going to have a hard time sellin' it on behalf of such a virulent enemy of the Bill of Rights and our God-given gift of self-government.
The most damnable aspect of the modern-day, blue-stocking fiscal cons, on the whole, is that they're far, far more concerned about making certain they continue to enjoy a ready, steady stream of cheap roofers, pool boys and lawn maintenance men than they are with maintaining the sanctity and security of our nation's border.
You're seeing a revoltingly representative sampling of them posting tonight, in fact. Right on this very thread.
I just wonder why Fred and Mitt dropped out. Did the GOP force them out or promise them something good????? I don’t trust the pubbies any more.
Thus, the rope comment ;) Save me some :)
For the first time ever, I don’t know how I’m voting in Nov. It’s a new thing for me. My first ever vote was for Reagan in the 80s. I’m not sure I can vote for McCain. And honestly, I doubt my vote would count anyway. He’s gonna lose big time in the general, imo. I see positives of McCain v Hillary/Obama and I respect his military service and dont’ respect anything about the other two. I’m just happy I don’t have to vote tomorrow, lol. I have many months to figure it out.
Its a big burden of power, but Im sure you can handle it,
LOL. I guess all those years as a cop helped prepare me for the power AND the traitor role!
Excuse me? Huh?
