In 2008, he waited until it was too late to win the Republican nomination, but, it sapped Duncan Hunter of the funds that would have allowed his campaign to challengeJohn McLame. Thompson, though conservative in most votes was an elitist’ friend and I maintain he got into the campaign simply to torpedo Hunter.

So, on the positive side, at least he won’t be torpedo-ing Ted Cruz’ campaign.

RIP Fred. When you get to heaven, if you could ask God for help down here. Satan seems to be on the march.

He was my senator and I voted for him in 1994. He would have been my choice in the Tennessee primary on February 5, 2008. Unfortunately he dropped out before the primary.

We would be in deep trouble as a country right now had he gotten to be President. We haven’t gone through something like a death of a president since 1963. I think God knew that Fred should not be President. All things happen for a reason.

God Bless his second wife and children.

I great man from a small town. I supported in in 2008. He was the only one not willing to raise their hand to the phony threat of “global climate change”. May he R.I.P. and I pray his family is comforted in their time of grief.

He got in too late to gain enough to win, but just enough to kill Hunter’s momentum. Proof is, he was last to join and nearly the first to drop out.
