Most FReepers won’t admit it, but a big part of the reason we got McCain was because of... Fred Thompson.
We had the perfect candidate in Duncan Hunter, but along came the Hollywood Star and his glamorous young wife and you fell for it. FReepers became FRedheads overnight, throwing Duncan under the bus.
So what happened? Thompson took a dive and endorsed his buddy McCain. FReepers who swore they would never support Flip Romney or Traitor McCain proceeded to embrace one then the other. At least I can say my conscience is clean, Hunter was my write-in vote.
“We had the perfect candidate in Duncan Hunter...”
I’m sorry, Hunter is a great conservative, but he never had a chance as a presidential candidate.
