A Thompson Supporter Looks Back, Ahead

National Review ^

[mh]

At least you’re not taking your marbles and going home. It’s clear that Fred was the only conservative choice — but don’t tell me that Romney, Giuliani,or Huckabee are honest about their real political philosophy.
Once the democrats come to power, we will have entitlements we will never be rid of. Mccain is at least open about what he believes.
And, by the way, I’m getting tired of him being called “McLame” and other denigrating names.

"Only hours ago a border patrolman was killed in the California Desert. This tragedy emphasizes more than ever the compelling case for the completion of the border fence. Since I wrote the bill that mandates 854 miles of double border fence only a few miles have been constructed. Over the next year in Congress I will do everything in my power to get that fence built."

another 5 years and amensty passes and Hispanics will be a plurality here in two generations

and the culture of Caudillo, Mordida, Patronism, etc will be rife

and they will mostly vote Democrat

and the will purge original Anglo US history when they can...the way many (even here) try to purge Southern History

and they will still claim minority victimhood even though won’t be

it will be another Argentina more or less with less attractive girls

Duncan Hunter should have won SC. Effing lockstepping GOP rank-and-filers.

“I have been a Thompson supporter from the start but it is becoming increasingly obvious to me that his presence in the primaries is siphoning votes from Huckabee and benefiting McLame.”

I don’t care who he siphons votes off from! More chance of a hung convention, which is the only hope to get a good candidate (someone besides Huck or McPain!)

I don’t know which one I loath more!

[John Valentine]

If Romney gets the nomination, I’ll probably hold my nose and vote for him in the general, but please, please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to sell the man as something authentic, fresh or exciting.

He is none of these things and he’s no conservative, either.

The ONLY thing Romney has going for himself is that he’s not Hillary.

[LiveFree99]

Have to admit, but without Hillary Bill would be a semi-retired law professor now instead of an ex-president. And he did get all those fat chicks on the side, too.

[Edit35]

(Romney) is none of these things and he’s no conservative, either.

Romney might not be the uber conservative which Freepers fantasize about, but in retrospect, Reagan was not either ... yet people speak about him like he could do no wrong.

Beruit withdraw, Social Security tax hikes, Amnesty, Dept. of Education abolishment reneg, etc.

I love REagan none the less.

Like I've said umpteen times, Romney made some dumb pandering statements, yet his record is not THAT bad.

[COgamer]

“Romney’s not a top tier candidate? He’s strong on securing the border.”

Sure. Recently. He’s the candidate I’m half-heartedly backing at the moment, but let’s be honest here : if he has a single position that hasn’t changed in the last year I’m not aware of it.
