Thompson To Drop Out [Vanity]

Posted on 01/21/2008 8:13:53 AM PST by PurpleMan

Just heard on Laura Ingram (quoting Carl Cameron of FoxNews) that Thompson will drop out tomorrow.

Bad results, ill mother....

I will not vote for any candidate but Thompson.

I pray first the rumors of drop-out are false.

It makes no sense, given that he has more money than Huckabee and more support than Romney —— AND WE ARE JUST NOW GETTING INTO THE SOUTH.

I pray second that Thompson does not endorse any of the remaining frauds, as that will sorely dissapoint me.

I will write Fred’s name in, if I have to.

I will vote third party if they give us Rudy McRomnabee.

Most unfortunately (I donated a bunch of $ to Fred), if he withdraws then I could understand it. The results alone make it almost impossible for him to win and now with his mother being sick I just don’t think it makes sense for him to stay in. Too bad - far as I am concerned he meant what he said and said what he meant - almost unheard of in politics these days.

That won’t work for me.

I can’t see a lesser of those two evils.

Let’s rephrase that. Laura Ingram and Carl Cameron would both love to see Fred drop out, and they aren’t above spreading rumors.

Good grief. You wish. They wish.

When Laura said about Mitt, ‘he’s hot!!!!’, I shook and bowed my head.

Yep.

Glenn says the msm will now call for Romney to drop out. How pathetic the race is becoming....

Well, the GOP has the DeVos Amway MLM cult.

Now it has the Mormon cult (incl. Glenn). Even Tancredo jumped on the Mittwit bandwagon b/c of Bay Buchanan.

Just waiting for Tom Cruise and the Scientologists to come on board to make it a full circus of kool aid drinkers in the Big Tent of Electoral Suicide.

If Fred gets out I’m out as well. I will never again vote for the “lesser of” . That’s how we got to where we are. When picking the lesser of two evils you’re still picking evil. Fred is my pick and that’s it.

Carl Cameron appears to despise conservatives. He always has a scowl on his face. The few times I have seen him cover Dems, he has a totally different demeanor. I don’t know why Fox has Carl cover Republicans except to give them a bad review. Major Garrett has so much pleasanter a personna but he covers the Dems.

It took Carter with high interest rates, inflation and the old misery index to bring Reagan, perhaps we have to do it all over again.

The only reason Carter ever got in office in the first place is because of President Nixon. Everyone wanted to put the national shame of Watergate behind us. Carter was a somewhat harmless threat since he had no real agenda. Hillary and Obama do have agendas. Looking back, Carter, the harmless threat ended up being the worst president we have ever had, and if the Soviets had taken advantage of it, it could have been the end for us. What ever we do, we can't stay away from the polls in November just to teach the Republican party a lesson about not being conservative enough.

I really doubt he would want a VP slot, but who knows.

However if ends up supporting that creep McCain, I will hold that against him.

I see, and what did that get Thompson? He “wiped the floor with Romney” by winning by 1%? Congratulations on that huge victory. I guess finishing in 3rd, 17% behind the guy who won is also a victory for you. I’m not a Romney supporter, so I’m not sure why you directed that comment at me that way. You expected Romney to do well in the Bible belt?

If Bloomberg the commie runs third party, I may vote for him, as it will be the only way to vote against Shrillery, without voting for Rudy McRomnabee.

The man is WINNING the Republican primary and I’m bitter

Actually, Mitt Romney is winning the race so far. I'm assuming you're talking about the delegate count.

All religions start out as a cult including apparently whatever form of bigotry religioun you espouse.

They kicked a true conservative, Hunter, to the curb for an actor. Looks like some chickens are coming home to roost.

I am sp tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is STILL evil.

No thanks.

I just sent Fred another donation. If he pulls out it will be a long day on November 4th to see what liberal occupies the WH, Rep or Dim does not matter they are all libs. I will not vote for anyone on the Dim side nor the Rep side other than Fred. My days of compromising my principles are over. I will suck it up and watch my beloved country deteriorate from the confines of my home with my stockpiled ammo for when it gets nasty out there.
