Thoughts On Fred’s SC Performance

Good call. And total agreement. I want FRED! in the White House. Not an amnesty suck up Red Chinese puppet, no lyin’ yankee carpetbagger, no “made man” from the mob, NObody the hell else from Arkansas. But I’ll vote “lesser of two evils” if I must. God, I don’t want to have to do that again. FRED! Please don’t quit!

I agree with all of you but we have to wait and see what Fred decides to next

Sorry, but I cannot join you on McCain. A McCain victory ensures at least 8 years of damage. A McCain loss in the general would give Conservatives a chance in 2012, and a pretty fair chance at the House in 2010.

Regrets to my Fred Head friends that we couldn’t pull it off in SC for Fred. I blame Huckabee for mucking things up. But Saturday’s result may be a blessing as it seems we in SC punctured the chaces of the Huckster from advancing much further.

For Fred’s future: it comes down to a question of money. Does Fred have the funds to go on and be competitive even as he continues to lag behind in polls in Florida?

I don’t imagine Fred has much money left after SC where he really went all out with expensive ads. I suppose he could limp along in Florida and a handful of other states by making personal appearances on his bus, but he couldn’t afford the advertising and staff organization it takes to win in the bigger states.

Is it possible he could win any of those states against better funded/better organized opponents? Unlikely.

I admire the Fred Head’s loyalty to the candidate. It’s a shame that it hasn’t translated to a more winning campaign. And I hope that if Fred does bow out, he honors that loyalty and does not endorse McCain.

This is the first GOP nominating contest I can recall that I’ve not been able to ride the first horse I picked in the race to the finish. And while I am not as pleased with some of my second choices, I know they are much better than any alternative in the other party.

The race is over for me now. I’ll sit and watch what happens in Florida in 9 days. It will seem like a long wait after these wild rides since January 3rd.

But perhaps what we need most is a brief cooling off period to collect our thoughts, survey the scene and examine our options.

Well I don’t know that I believe that McCain is all that strong on national security. Recent pandering aside he’s been an advocate of open borders for his entire Senatorial career. And his position on detainee rights places a huge question mark there as well.

SCOTUS? I’d be shocked if he didn’t have a litmus test for any Justices he nominated for upholding McCain-Feingold. And any judges who can read out of existence the first amendment like that can’t be trusted for the rest of the constitution.

So if McCain loses, at least maybe, just maybe the Republicans in Congress can grow a spine and oppose things, and at least it won’t be our side doing the damage and deserving the blame.

I’ve spent too much of the last few years fighting what theoretically is my own side. I just don’t want to do it for another four.

No, I won’t be voting for Hillary or Obama. If McCain’s the nominee I’m probably throwing my hands up in disgust and staying home.

In my view the country would be going to hell in a handbasket either way. The only difference would be the velocity. Not the direction.

But that’s simply not true, Curt. Staying home is exactly that. A vote for neither side. A vote for Hillary/Obama offsets a vote on the other side. At best you could consider it half a vote for each side.

I’ve known in my head that it was going to come down to this for a long time. Before Thompson got into the race there were zero viable conservatives in the race. And by viable I mean ‘backed by the money in the party apparatus’. The only semi-conservative in the race was Romney and his candidacy was basically self-funded.

So it’s obvious to me that the Republican party no longer wants to be the party of conservatives and conservative ideas. Maybe, just maybe, we can get a successor party that will be. Just as the dissolution of the Whigs gave birth to the Republican party, maybe the schism that’s coming will lead to a new conservative party.

I was SO pulling for Fred. I think he should stay in the race. He has so much to offer!

(LOL!)

It’ll be a “Cold Day in Hell,” before I vote for any of the Front runners in the Pub Party!

If necessary, I’ll write in “Fred” and let the chips fall where they may!

Maybe this country needs another Jimmuh Catah to bring it back to Reality??

We shall see?

I refuse to “Vote for the one who will do the Least amount of Damage,” or “Against” another candidate any more!

“Been there, Done That,” NO MO!

Perhaps, like steel, our party needs to be tempered in the fire. I’m a Fred-Head from TN but I WILL NOT vote for another RINO like McNasty. Perhaps 4 years of Hillary might put the conservative fire back in our party and purge the RINO’s that plague us.

Mike: I voted for Reagan too… But in 1976 I voted for Ford. How about you?

Do you rememer what a disaster Carter was as President? Were you able to vote in 1976?

NO ONE is arguing with you about the suitability of McCain as a nominee.

But you simply have to CHILL OUT and look at the big picture and not be so willing to hand the election to Hillary even before we have our nominee, whoever it may be.

Yes, I remember Carter, Hell, I remember IKE!

Give me a break, 60 here!

ONE MO TIME, and I shall leave you “PUBS” alone, you have pretty well destroyed the party as it is! Have you checked out the “Face” of the PUB party lately? Sphincter, McNutt, Nor Eastern LiBrul, hell, we’ve got one here in Kansas, Brownback!

I am DONE voting for “The lesser of Two evils,” Against a Candidate, disgusting and depressing!

I won’t sit this election out and have never Sat one out, I will be Writting in “FRED,” if that’s what it takes!

Later!

“SAD,” Agreed, In spades, it is indeed SAD what the Pub party has turned into!

DIM Lite!

Question for all you good little PUBS, “What IF” Ron Paul were to get the nomination??

RFLMAO

LOL, Not too Quick, are ya, Curt!!

I’ve chided the DIMS over and over again for votin “The Ticket,” no matter who the nominee was!

What do they call them, “Yellow Dog Dims?”

I’d vote for many Democrats before I’d vote for McNutt- Sam Nunn(SP?), Zell, Scoop Jackson, etc!

How bout all you PUBS?

2Star,

Couldn’t agree with you More, I’ll Drink to that!!:)

Maybe this is what it’ll take to Purge the Pubs of all the LiBruls??

That’s what’s know as Bobbin and Weavin Curt! More commonly known as a “Dodge!”

Expected from the DIMS!!

“Step Up to Da Plate, Curt!!” Answer the question!!

“you should know better by now”

You most certainly should! Apparently not, as is displayed by the PUB party of today!

There’s a word for people like you, Curt!

It’s called “Sheeple!”

You have a good one!

Rooo Dee, another NE LiBrul!

Against the 2nd amendment, New York-Sanctuary City, For Gay Marriage, Abortion, etc!

The PUB party is goin down in flames, and they have No One to Blame but themselves!

Instead of pointing fingers, maybe they should take a long hard look within!?

DUH

Which is it, Sheeple, Sam Nunn, Zell, Scoop or McNutt?

Didn’t think so, your Non-Answer speaks V O L U M E S!!!

LOL, who’s a Ron Paul, what did you call it??

RFLMAO

Hey, at least you stepped up, U R to be congratulated, “Sheeple!”

Yup, RP is a libertarian that even most of the libertarians won’t have naything to do with.

This country girl thinks Fred is going to stay in the race.

Man everyone needs to chill out. I have a great post at my blo about this very subject. If we as a conservative movement want to get anything, we must vote for the Republican nominee whoever it is. http://stix1972.typepad.com/stix_blog/2008/01/the-3-legs-of-t.html

Would you want a government run by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid with a Socialist in the White House. I do not. That would be disastrous to our country in my opinion.

And Ron Paul is no conservative or Republican, he is a chatlatan useing the Republican Party’s name to get elected. He is a Libertarian nut job that is a racist and bigot. And he does not even preach what he whines about. He has no chance in the Republican Primaries and would never ever get elected President.

And I will support Ferd until he bos out, and then I will support Guilinani unless the MSM and Pundits derail him like they did Fred.

Remember we only had 6 or so states and there are many more, we haven;t even gotten to Super Duper Yuesday, so Fred still has a chance.

Remember do not listen to the MSM, Fox News included. Think for yourself and don’t let anyone pick a candidade for you. This is the Republican Primaries, not the MSM and Pundits.

I hope Fred is listing. I sent him a msg on fred08. Don’t quit.

My spouse thinks ‘we’ will be wasting our votes because of no good MSM coverage.

I told her I could think of no better way to ‘waste’ my vote.

Go Fred!

Things have changed a little since the Reagan presidential run Indy. With press coverage like it is now there is no way Rudy or Frederick of Hollywood can win. It is over for everyone but McCain, Huck and Mitt. Pick one of those guys now or cause votes to go to a second choice that you may or may not want to get your delegate.

In the first twenty or so posts there was a great deal of anxiety about voting for the party’s candidate. I believe that there always is at this point. It will fade as soon as each party’s candidate is not running against other members of their own party. Like wine your angst will mellow with time.

having said that, I think that the worst thing any party member can do is vote straight ticket. how does a party remain consistant if you support someone like W who is the real reason that the party is in such disarry? Vote your values not your party. hopefully those two will match up most of the time.
