If my mother was hospitalized with pneumonia at age 90, I’d be with her. Do you even realize how sick one must be these days to qualify for hospitalization and utilization review??
There was word last night she was showing some improvement. But should we expect a candidate to run the risk of not ever seeing or speaking with his mom again should she die while he’s running around the campaign trail?
Would you really do that yourself?
The stakes are too high otherwise... If it was his daughter, or wife, he can quit the campaign altogether and no one can say a thing, we'd all be sympathetic... But she's 90. Sorry, that's just how I feel... Some things are more imortant, like the fate of our nation.
Thank you for the reality check here - having lost both parents - he is doing exactly the right thing. I married a man quite a bit younger. His mother lives with us and I care for her very tenderly. I know how precious those last years and days are even if her children do not.
I like Fred Thompson that much better for looking after his Mom.
If he drops out I don’t know who I’ll vote for. I cannot vote for McCain or Huckabee and I don’t think I can vote for Romney. I think if that is what it comes to this will be a very bad election for conservatives.
When the so-called conservative choices are only barely distinquishable from the liberal choices, where do those voters go?
What is it with this forum lately about jumping on every rumor?
