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

Try being a Texan, being dismayed by the initial GOP lineup, then getting behind Fred, then Romney, and still we Texans, with a Mar. 4 primary, will only see on our R ballot McCain.
...Oh yes, they have files on her on her also. Plus have you noticed all the support that Obama is getting? On Monday in Hartford, the capital of my homestate, CT, there was a rally at the local arena, up to 17,000 people, it even overflowed into the hall. Standing room bigtime. Like as I have said, this could be 1960 all over again bigtime. In other words, another Kennedy vs. Nixon race.
Huck is finished thank God. As much as I loved trashing him for sport, the party is over. He’s dead and doesn’t realize that he is not Jesus and will not resurrect in 3 days.
I’ll vote for Paul as a 3rd party just to make a point. If I actually thought he could win I wouldn’t.
It reminds me of that old Eddie Murphy skit from 1984...a bunch of rednecks get drunk in the bar and decide to walk into the voting booth and vote for Jesse Jackson as a joke....
“heee, heee, heeee (hiccup)...I’m gonna vote for Jesse Jackson”
Then they wake up the next morning hungover and go “What the heck do you mean he won????”
You ain't the only one who can't figure out why this surprises anyone. Denial and blinders, I guess.
...Or more likely, if it is Obama like 1960, JFK vs. R. Nixon.
Absolutely. I would never disrespect my nana.
Yeah - that drum beat in 2006 gave us Reid and Pelosi - yeah, THAT worked out well.
My focus is that we have two candidates running in the presidential race for the GOP, and Mike Huckabee is far better than John McCain. So, I will do all that I can to support Huckabee.
Huckabee is strongly pro-life, and strong about protecting our 2nd amendment rights:

A week ago, I called Dr. Richard Land’s radio show to say that not only did Senator McCain support human embryonic stem cell research, but according to the late Congressman Henry Hyde, John McCain wanted to WEAKEN the pro-life plank of the Republican Party platform, so he is different behind the scenes, than the picture he tries to portray to us.
Here’s where I got my information from:
“Hyde, who has criticized McCain for advocating weakening of the Republican Party’s pro-life platform plank.
Pro-abortion leaders also see a big difference. Following McCain’s win in the New Hampshire primary, the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition said that based on exit polls, “pro-choice Republicans overwhelmingly preferred McCain above all the other candidates.”’

And here’s why Duncan Hunter endorsed Huckabee out of the remaining candidates:

Oh give it a rest! Fred was deadly serious about his run for the Presidency. He just didn’t play the silly games that apparently too many GOP voters wanted to see. They weren’t interested in substance this time around, even though they’ve been claiming for years that it was what they truly wanted in a candidate. They allowed themselves to be led by the MSM and some in the alleged conservative media into thinking that since he didn’t come out and do the old soft shoe that he really didn’t want to be President.
You forgot Mary Matlin, Dick Cheney’s girl, was the leader for Fred Thompson. LOL They were worried about Mitt. Boxed him in pretty good. You have to give them credit though, I never would have thought of a preacher.
Why is Dr. Paul being taken off? He was on the absentee ballots!
Texas, you got shafted bigtime!
That is my prediction, Ron Paul will go 3rd party bigtime just to attract all the unhappy conservitives.
Sure he was. You could just feel the enthusiasm oozing from his pores. /s
Love that picture.
That is what I have been feeling the last few days about some of the FR threads and posts.
They played it good.
Exactly. Facing reality involves admitting a defeat is a defeat. Claiming that a win for the socialists is somehow a good thing is delusional thinking.
If anything should be clear by the excitement over Obama or the first female president it's that we've been bitching and whining about the liberals in our schools and our media but not DOING anything about it. We think "Well, at least I'm cranky about the propaganda pushed on my kids, that's SOMEthing."
No, it's not. And letting the Dems have ANOTHER 'strategic" win is not winning--it's losing.
We will never have a perfect conservative candidate. We can only play the hand we're dealt--and sometimes, like now, that's a very bad hand. But just folding and letting the other guy collect the pot isn't a win, no matter how one wants to claim it is such.
