Just damn

[TexasNative2000]

Double damn.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

NO!!!!!

[RKV]

God Bless you and your family Fred.

[ThePythonicCow]

Triple damn

[skeeter]

In before the giggling Huckabee fans arrive.

[BibChr]

Aw, poop.

In too late, out too early.

Rats.

[servantboy777]

Quitters never win.

Fred Thompson has NEVER had his heart in this race.

[servantboy777]

Quitters never win.

Fred Thompson has NEVER had his heart in this race.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

First Hunter, now Thompson.

I’ve got no one left to vote for.

[linn37]

Fred its a damn shame.

[servantboy777]

Quitters never win.

Fred Thompson has NEVER had his heart in this race.

[MeSpikeLibs]

This Sucks. I will have to root for Romney. The Republican party is split and the RATS are running 3 nightmares for this country. We are playing right into the Clinton plan.

[Politicalmom]

One final FRed ping.

I love you, FRedheads!!

I’m taking off before the Orcs start celebrating.

[papasmurf]

Closure.

Now I can go into make life hard for RINO mode!

[rockinqsranch]

This will finish off the Republican Party of yore. We now have two officially Leftist Parties as Conservatism is now either redefined, or is brushed off into oblivion with the Green Party, The Libertarian Party, The Constitution Party, and the like. THAT is what the importance of Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson as candidates was all about.

The Left has won a battle that will leave America Vulnerable for a long time, or until that day the American electorate finally awakens to the fact they are losing everything at the hands of the Democrat/Liberal/Socialists.

I pray for a rapid awakening. Before the Left can totally destroy the basis of that which is America, and we all are beholden to the same benefactors as the Leftists have sold their souls, consequently ours as well.

[LetsRok]

Asshat did nothing but muddle field and take TV debate time away from the serious candidates. I will be scraping my FRED sticker off my car today.

[3D-JOY]

Many of us tried to “loan” him our hearts!

What is next?

[Abathar]

Now the big question - who will he endorse??

[NoGrayZone]

Double damn. If I wasn’t at work, I’d be crying right now. Just sitting here fighting back the tears.

[avacado]

"Resistance is futile! Coronate me NOW!!! I have wealth to confiscate and bread lines to implement!!!"

[Resolute Conservative]

This country has no conservative candidate and my vote is now a stay home.

This country is doomed.

[RockinRight]

Well Damn it!

[CASchack]

Fred is a good man. He gave it a shot, on his terms, and it didn’t work out. He didn’t compromise, and he went out with class.

[TLI]

It’s clear that the liberal commie media is in full control. They ran off Tancredo, Hunter, now Thompson. They certainly can not be having actual conservative Republicans running for President. That is reserved for RINO’s and CCID’s (Communist Calling Itself Democrat).

Well “republicans” you had your chance, and ya’ll f****d it off.

Final advice? Get rifles and ammo while you can cause after getting the illegal aliens amnestied they will be finding ways to disarm everyone no matter what the Supreme Court decides.

Good Luck.

[P. James Moriarty]

I’m still writing Freds name in. Just can’t bring myself to vote for a RINO again.

[1Old Pro]

Hickelbee will be out after Florida.

Then, It’s a choice between McInsane, Rootie Tootsie and Romney. Willima Buckley endorsed Romney as did Tancredo.

Romney ain’t pefect, but he’s better than Mclame, Rudy and Hillary.

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Damn! Looks like I’m gonna need a new tagline.

[ishabibble]

I don’t take orders from the MSM.

HUNTER/THOMPSON 2008!

[RockinRight]

A sad day. Hopefully, the other candidates have at least learned a little from Fred.

[enough_idiocy]

How about making life hard for democrats?

[Agent Smith]

Good luck Fred. All the best.

[avacado]

"This country has no conservative candidate and my vote is now a stay home."

Good for you! You just screwed over my very Conservative Congressman John Culberson. So you abandon your fellow soldiers on the battlefield to be slaughtered! What honor!

Enjoy your 3 new Supreme Court Justices hand picked by Hillary.

[enough_idiocy]

This is from Fred himself.

[evets]

[dixiechick2000]

Thank you for all of your efforts.

You’ve done yeoman’s work and have been terrific!

Prayers for Fred’s mom, Fred, Jeri, and their entire family.

[stevio]

I appreciate you for trying Fred. Good luck and God bless.

[Polyxene]

I’ve got no one left to vote for.

Me, either. Sad, isn’t it?

[fish hawk]

Just like me. When ever I was late for work, I always left early to make up for it.

[servantboy777]

Not sure whats next....all the other candidates suck.

[Fiddlstix]

Damn! Damn! Damn!

[Palladin]

My condolences to all the Fredheads here. It was just not meant to be.

Don’t cry in your beer.

[winner3000]

The Huckabee candidacy showed that a good % of Evangelicals are with the Republicans strictly for social conservatism, not economic (small government) conservatism. This makes them ripe to be picked up by the Dems if they were less loud about being anti-religion and anti-Christian values. Too bad we don’t teach Economics well enough in this country. The logical result of socialism is not pretty - look at the real life examples around the world. Capitalism may seem heartless at the individual level, but coupled with private charity, is the most compassionate system around in terms of results.

[MrEdd]

In before the Troikabots start whining that anyone to principled to vote for their interchangeable liberals will be responsible for Hillary/Obama/armageddon.

[enough_idiocy]

Campaign said he won’t endorse anyone.

[robomatik]

aaaargh!!!!

now i really need a new tagline. :(

[stevio]

Your tagline is the kiss of death. Maybe you should put Rudy, McCain and Hillary in there.

[servantboy777]

He ain’t no Reagan republican then.

He may be a good man, but in my opinion, that was a half baked attempt from the beginning.

[kbennkc]

I got e-mail asking for more money this morning . I guess he needs to replace those Guccis he wore out pounding the campaign trail so hard . If he even says the name McCain , I will forbid the watching of his TV show by all those in my command . Cisco the chihuahua loves that”DA DUM”.
