Huckabeee aint going to get it.

I am pulling for Romney on competance, but would hold my nose and vote for McCain. The only two candidates that I could NEVER support are Giussolini and Huckleberry.

[Def Conservative]

As long as Fred is in the race, keep voting for Fred. If McLame or Socialist Huckleberry get the nomination and run against Hillary ignore them. Just spend your time focusing on your local congressional races, so we at least have a chance at a conservative House.

There is ONE good thing about a Clinton presidency...during the last one those were the BEST years for the VRWC. If you think it was fun taking down her husband, just wait till you see Hildabeast going down...hope she doesn’t cry.

Your conservative candidate choice, unfortunately, dropped out today in CA - that man, Duncan Hunter.

Too bad either you felt, "he's a good man and very conservative but doesn't have the name 'recognition to win'.

That or you never, ever heard of him, thanks to all of MSM, who feared him most of all, as they know how flawed others are, that many will choose to sit out the '08 election rather than choose any who insult our intelligence with their sell-outs to liberal causes, so they left Hunter largely unnoticed, except for when they thought he was withdrawing and rushed to his last "news" conference and stomped off in a huff when he didn't.

Move out to rural parts and buy some fertile land. The grand experiment called "The United States of America" is over. I knew it the day I saw with my own two eyeballs, IRS employees testifying before Congress while wearing hoods over their heads to conceal their identities and protect them - - from the government's own IRS!

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

You could still vote third [political group] on principle.

The trip to hell started when America voted in the current Congress. You on a ride with all the Union, liberal, women, commie voters. I don’t think it is going to stop. America is too stupid these days.

[gpapa]

Stick to your guns and go with Fred.

[OKIEDOC]

Gee whizzers I have seen the light and it ain’t the Huckster or McCaniac.

I don’t think Fred did so bad considering that McCaniac was a favorite of Carolina voters.

Fred for Gawds sake stay in the race were coming to help ya son.

Because most people really do like you and your message you just might end up being the last man standing.

Thank you Duncan Hunter your a great American.

Well Matty, I have been a card carrying member of my State Republican party for 25 years. I have always voted a straight Republican ticket.

NOw I am feeling a tremendous sense of liberation. With the results of yesterdays primaries, it is clear that as a conservative, I no longer have a home in the Republican party.

Having caucused with my county committee, I will now return my membership card ini the mail along with a resignation letter. I will then hustle down to my Town Office and register as an Independent voter.

I will now vote for the candidate who is conservative on issues I consider important, regardless of party.. If the local democrat or libertarian is better in my view than the Republican, I will vote for them without hesitation.

[FreedomForce]

What a dismal election this is turning out to be. For me, this presidential election is over the moment McCain locks up the nomination. I won’t vote for him under any circumstances. If it’s Hillary or Obama for 4 years, so be it.

[SoConPubbie]

Stay the course with Fred.

Vote your principles, not whomever is the current flavor of the day of the MSM or the RNC or the GOP or FAUXNEWS.

[meyer]

Where? Third party. The Republicans, with their latest batch of liberals, has jumped the shark.

[counterpunch]

Fred Thompson is still in this race, and he’s been there all along.

[AmericanInTokyo]

For me?

In 2008?

I will not "settle". I will not "rationalize".

I did the "lesser of two evils" gig four years ago and eight years ago--got compassionate conservatism alright--AND LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY TODAY.

Enough.

Not a second time.

To do so will only conform to the classic dictionary definition of insanity: to do the same things over and over again, expecting different results.

We have not had A GENUINE CONSERVATIVE ON THE TOP OF THE GOP TICKET FOR NEARLY 24 YEARS NOW--AND WE ARE TOLD TO "GET WITH THE TEAM" AND BE PATIENT AND OUR TURN WILL COME.

If I wait any longer, I will be dead.

So, I am keeping my powder dry and I will exercise a very, very independent vote in November based on a very, very independent rational and logical due-diligence process. I don't know that candidate's name just yet, but it will be stated in due time.

[Earthdweller]

1)Kneel to Caesar, 2)cased a protest vote for Huckabee (the only non-establishment candidate) or 3)...

[syriacus]

I live in New York, but I've voted for Thompson 2x, by sending small contributions to his campaign.

I figure that might be the best way to show my support for his viewpoint, whether Fred stays in the fight or not.

I sent my 2nd contribution a short time ago. My "vote of support" is on the record.

I had previously sent a small contribution to Duncan Hunter.

I don't want to kick myself, someday down the line, because I didn't do anything to stop the slide to the left.

[SkyPilot]

Where does a Conservative go?(Vanity)

Come Now! Vote for Williard Mitty! He didn't mean that Abortion thing! Or that Tax thing! Or anything else you don't like. Look us in the eye. Say it with us! YES! - you wan't him to be President! Come on! Let us in your house (and show us your checkbook and underwear) - we will show you.

Hey man.....so....what? Chu no like Jon McCain? What yur problem man? You got sumthing in that jacket man? Listen man....McCain give me Amnesy man.....chu no like that? I'll F_ck you up man! #$^*^% You %^$%$#$!!!!!

Waz the matta with Huckabee? SHAAAZAM!

[Timeout]

Lots of disappointment expressed herein. It’s certainly understandable on the day we seem to have lost both of the most conservative candidates. It’s a sad day for Reaganites like us.

But I’ve found a place where I’m a little more content than I was a few days ago when it became apparent to me Fred wasn’t going to make it. I was so disheartened, swearing I’d never vote for McCain and not excited about the others. (I don’t consider Huckabee a serious factor.)

And then it hit me. I care more about my country than I do about my political ideology. National security may have moved down in the polls, but it’s still my firewall...a candidate has to get past that before I’ll consider his/her other positions.

Bottom line: No Democrat can pass that test. Neither Hillary or Obama understands “peace through strength”. They and their party go out of their way to convince us the threat is overstated. They are not serious about the dangers we face.

So. I will put my disappointment behind me. I will vote for ANY Republican before allowing the peaceniks back in the Oval Office. Once I realized that I felt better.

[Nextrush]

Whatever you do, you can’t allow McCain to win.

From “McCain-Feingold” to amnesty for illegals, opposing the tax cuts of 2001, his constant sniping etc. this guy doesn’t cut it.

Vote against McCain so he can’t win.

Huckabee is fine with me as an alternative because at least he believes in something better than McCain, who’s a constant critic and RINO sniper.

McCain doesn’t even want freedom of speech in political campaigns, only the incumbent protection of McCain-Feingold.

Vote for the candidate in your state who has the most support next to McCain.

Romney would fit that bill in Utah, Massachusetts and probably Colorado on February 5th. I would vote for Romney in any state he chooses to contest that day.

Rudy needs to stay up, too.

Rudy must win the winner take all primary in New York on February 5th to deny McCain those delegates outright.

Huckabee should get votes in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the populist heartland on February 5th. I’d vote for him there again to deny McCain delegates outright.

Romney must break through in the Midwest. How about Missouri and maybe that native son of Missouri would get himself seriously involved in this to stop McCain.

His name inspired mine.

Where does a Conservative go?

We tend to circle to the right before we go down. : (
