My Vote (Captain Ed Endorses Romney)

Captain's Quarters ^ | Jan. 27, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

McCain has fought a dirty fight all along...he will use any and all means available to win, even if it means outright, blatant lies!

[ONEBYEONE]

A military retiree Fred head here that will also go for Romney.

[jellybean]

No, I don’t think anyone has heard anything from Fred since last Saturday. Hope his mom is doing okay.

[dusttoyou]

So, R2000, you have personally spoken with Larry the Cable Guy and NASCAR fans and they told you this? Or is it something straight from outer space?

[dixiechick2000]

I’ve been thinking about his mom, too.

He’s been quiet.

I think that’s good...priorities, and all.

[Route66]

The “Fred is dropping out tomorrow and endorsing McCain” rumor has simply been amended to “Fred is endoring McCain tomorrow” and it just continues on and on. How many tomorrows has it been now? By the way...Is he still the stalking horse for McCain now that he's dropped out? You know, rumor has it that whatever Fred does, it must be for McCain.

These baseless Fred rumors should be given their own category at Snopes.

[dixiechick2000]

The very fact that Fred jumped into the race says all I need to know about his supposed friendship with McCain.

Too, the “friendship” angle has been propagated by the media...and McCain.

For a “stalking horse”, he surely has been quiet.

[MitchellC]

"I suspect this rumor is being leaked by the McCain camp, which was the source of the earlier rumor that Fred was planning on throwing his support behind McCain if he didn't score well in Iowa."

So much for McCain being Fred's buddy.

Bob Novak said the rumor came from Romney's camp. Maybe everyone was peddling the lie.

[Brandie]

Thank you so much Jellybean. I would hate it so much for Fred to endorse McCain. What McCain did to the with his successfully blocking the release of classified POW/MIA documents was unforgivable, and there is no way I can ever vote for him on that alone, then add in all the other things as well.

[trussell]

Now since all of my family has been calling wanting to know who they should vote for

Tell them to educate themselves and make their own decision...I wouldn't want my family ticked off at me if I told them to vote for someone who let the country down and totally ruined the party.

[Brandie]

Thank you so much, I respect Ed a lot.

[upcountry miss]

This FredHead is Not for Pretty Boy.

[SoFloFreeper]

Look for many here to call Ed a liberal idiot now. Their anti-Mitt attitudes are disgusting.

[America_Right]

If Freerepublic is any indication, it seems like it is the extreme right that opposes Romney. Those within the reach of reason seem to like Romney.

I totally disagree with that statement. I define the extreme right, and I went from Fred to Mitt. I don't know any serious right-wingers that will vote for McCain or Huck, and only a couple that would go for Rudy over Mitt. Mitt is the only guy in the race that (if recently) still holds my attention as a conservative.

Anyone want to bet that Rush votes for Mitt? I know he will...

[jonrick46]

A Romney - Condoleeza Rice ticket would be the coup de grace for Obama. It would also be curtains for the HillBillary.

[Tribune7]

Captain Ed makes a pretty good case.

[Shortstop7]

After listening to Rush today, I agree with you.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Absolute nonsense.

[daylilly]

All the candidates left standing are useless.
