For the least drastic step, in the primary, a 5 or 10% showing for Thompson (who has dropped out, mind you) would send a serious message to the machinery that we are pissed.
A more drastic measure (and one I will take) is a similar message against RINOs in general elections. Reasonable minds may disagree with the approach here, fearing DimRats — I, however, don’t care.

I knew women vote with their eyes, but I thought men had brains.
Yes, when it comes to politics, I probably am a misogynist. How else do you explain the rise of JFK (hair), Carter (hair, Quayle (hair), Edwards (hair), Clinton (lip biting), Gore, Dukakis, Mondale (hair)?

All I can hope for is that idiot McVain gets his ass handed to him at the polls in Florida. (

Theres only one conservative left in the GOP field: Dr. Alan Keyes.
To: Scarchin
No. 1, I don’t think the establishment at the convention would select Fred.
No. 2, I don’t think Fred would accept. I don’t think he wanted it bad enough. No one who really is serious drops out after campaigning in only 2 primary states just because he came in 3rd. Look at Edwards and Huckabee. They are still trudging onward, even though their chances are slim. He should have stayed in for just 2 more weeks until Super Tuesday.
Hopefully, I’m totally wrong about all this, and I will be the first one to be glad if I am. I feel like there was a true conservative in the race, and then I woke up and found out that it was only a dream after all. I’m not taking this well at all.

Since this has been a strange and unique political primary season, guess we shouldn’t rule out witness to a miracle. Hope springs eternal.

Michael has no idea what the base is thinking.Too bad, cause he's been trying to be the party kingmaker by virtue of his name for some years now.

If he actually carried Reagan's DNA... he probably could. He has none of Reagan’s insight or political savvy.

Who Said Freddys Dead? Curtis Mayfield. Even to me, a Fred supporter, I have to admit; thats funny.
We gotta laugh to keep from crying these days.

To: 2ndDivisionVet
I feel that the most knowledgeable and patriotic people post here at FreeRepublic. How could we all be so wrong? This election season has been one of the most frustrating I have ever seen. Independents and Democrats voting in Republican primaries and pushing the most liberal candidates for the rest of the party to be stuck with.
I don’t blame FRED for getting out. FRED’s mother is ill and FRED knows what his priorities are. If it is meant to be that FRED is to be our President, it will be. GOD will see to it. I think the scenario described in this article are very plausible. I certainly cannot get excited about any of the rest left. Huckabee outlasted FRED, it does not seem possible. Duncan endorsed Huckabee?
WTFO?

But he has always been the establishment's choice.I never got that idea. Seemed more like Giuliani at first, then John McCain. I never got the idea that Fred was a favorite of any one in the GOP leadership. That being said, I'd be THRILLED if Fred were chosen at a brokered convention!!

Michael Reagan was on FoxNews yesterday. He was sounding hopeful that Newt Gingrich would emerge as the dark horse candidate.Why does Michael Reagan care? He left the Republican party years ago. I don't think many in the Republican party would be able to trust Newt to be conservative anymore. I know I won't.

FRed is not older than the baby boomers, fellers. He just didnt go the botox route.Sadly, that's why many decided not to vote for him, because he wasn't a 'pretty boy'. They didn't care that he had the best message of ALL the candidates, he didn't fit their image of the ideal candidate, because he had a few miles on his face.
