Where did I say I wasn’t voting?????????excuse me????
I did say I DON’T HAVE TO VOTE THOUGH!!
Oh, wahhhhh you DQ’d me!!! Who the F$&k are you???
Ask me about sacrifices???? I have a son, a step son and a nephew in Iraq!! They are fighting for your freedom to say idiotic things.
Your rant is equivalent to a 2 year old throwing a tantrum because you don’t get your way wahh wahh. I should just drop my high standards and high expectations and vote for a cutesy college boy because he smiles like a used car salesman.
I HAVE FOUGHT FRICKING HARD AND SENT HARD EARNED MONEY TO FRED BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN HIM WAY ABOVE THE OTHER SO CALLED RINO CHOICES. And you try to tell me I don’t know anything about freedom to choose whoever I think is the BEST candidate??? I don’t make voting decisions lightly.
If more people would research the FACTS about the ccandidates, and quit lowering their standards for fear of losing everything, we might actually get a decent candidate, accountable on every front.
So now my choice has been dropped and you think it is your duty to redirect me to a 2nd or 3rd choice RINO. And I should vote just because I can.
Get out of here. I couldn’t care less what you think.
Exactly.
Damn, I can’t ever get upset enough to write a really good rant. I’m starting to resent you people who can. :D
I just couldn’t resist. I wasn’t the only person they annoyed. LOL
Anyone still voting for Fred is wasting their vote and only helping McCain win every state with 30% of the GOP voting for him. Fred has abandonned his bid and he never seemed like he wanted the job anyway.
If that ticks you off to a point you dont want to vote. Fine...just feel good knowing you have contributed to why our general election will be between Obama and McCain.
I was annoyed, but not upset. Hard to get upset when you’re interests aren’t represented.
If we could just mush all of these guys together we’d get-—well, we’d get Fred with better oratory skills and more pep in his step. LOL
Never, since I spent all of 1980 working full time for Ronald Reagan has anyone ever labelled me a liberal. I needed a chuckle tonight. You apparently believe that one of our RINOs is equal to a potential Hill-obamanation. If Hillary gains power, she will not let go. She will work with a compliant house and senate and install young supreme court Communists who will do away with free speech, gun ownership and the need for elections.
But hey, go ahead, play Clinton's game & write in frrred's name. It will feel really good. And "if it feels good, do it."
Wait. That sound liberal.
Then that's the way it goes. Maybe, just MAYBE (yeah, right) the GOP will learn to put up some REAL conservative candidates instead of letting the MSM pick our candidates.
With Bush's NAU/immigration stance, growing the size of the fedgov, spending like a drunken Dem, I've had all of the RINO's I can take and I REFUSE to vote for another one.
No matter HOW much they want to compare themselves to the Gipper!
Why vote for a 95% Dem when we can have a full Dem for the same price?
So let's see. McCain gets in and the borders fly wide open.
Mitt gets in and we'll all be taxed if we don't carry what the govt considers enough health insurance.
Huck gets in and he'll feel sorry for every convicted felon in the country and pardon them all.
Rudy gets in and every city becomes a sanctuary city.
Paul gets in and I die of fright.
now tell me why I should vote for a pack of RINO's????
LOL!
I will be voting, or writing in, Fred Thompson when the time comes.
Sorry, the threat of Hillary does not scare me anymore.
Fred Thompson or Bust!!!
Correct.
I will never vote for Mitt. He’s a fake of the worst order.
Vote or write in Fred.
The threat of Hillary is empty; conservatives are off the plantation.
I have been a registered voter for 35 years and there was only ONE election where my first choice candidate actually became President. That was Reagan.
Every other time I was asked to settle for ? because it was all about party unity. Bad thing is, I am really not a Republican. I never vote a straight ticket. I have voted for Democrats, Independents, Republicans. Screw party affiliation. Has a political party really done much beyond raising money for a candidate? Does a college Fraternity improve a students grade point?
We have been locked in to this two party system of politics and I am finding little difference between the two choices. When I shop for a car, I look at models, colors options and brands. When shopping for a President, I get two bland choices, no options, and dependability is always a concern. How can anyone honestly say that a Republican and a DEmocrat running for office is really a choice we can live with. Neither is going to change much about the corruption of the system. All they are worried about is power and control. The agenda may be slightly a different package, but globalists dominate both partys so the outcome is predictable, except for the timing.
Smart people realize that we have few options and when we see a potential candidate that offers something way beyond the normal way politico’s do business, we have to grasp the opportunity. The sheeple mentality has people convinced we have no choice, just vote for D or R and shut up. Voting has almost become an exercise in futility because the process has lost it’s intellectual backing.
Now the pundits do the thinking and write columns that think for us instead of people actually taking time to do individual research on a candidate or an issue.
There is so much bad information around, how can anyone make an honest decision about who to vote for? But we merrily march to the polls, tongue in cheek. We are allowed to vote as our voice in the process. Then they tell us to shut up. We had our say and the debate is over.
So realistically, we are not participants in the Democratic process. We are spectators.
“Know you are right, then go ahead.”’

I know voting for Fred is right. I shall go ahead.
Well, in this particular election, the early primary voters weren’t spectators. Those of us in other states, however—well, you have a point.
I’m not quite as down as you are about it at the moment. This crap goes in cycles. I think that if we lose this election that we may have a chance to get some more conservative candidates.
What I don’t understand is why the current candidates are all bending over backwards trying to convince voters that they are “the true conservative”. The only people I believe that had a plausible claim to that were Hunter and Thompson, and they were REJECTED. The rest have conservative traits, whether it’s in social, foreign policy, or economic conservatism, but not the full package.
Why try to claim something that’s already been rejected?
I will write in Thompson. I will also write him in come November. If this country goes into the crappier I’d rather it happen on a dim watch tan Republican if there is any hope for the R party to rebuild.
On a side not I got a survey from the Republican party. I ripped them a new one especially the last two questions where they asked for money and would I vote for the Republican nominee no matter who it may be.
Another newbie weighs in. Must be freaking wonderful to know all there is to know.
Supreme Court Justices?
Anyone conservative voting for Rudy Huck McRomney is wasting their vote.
Souter? Myers?
