If Fred withdraws, I withdraw

[ballz2wallz]

Well it seems Thompson may actually take himself out of the race afterall. So the word on the blogosphere says. Nobody actually knows until tomorrow morning, but I, along with Rush Limbaugh, seem to digress...if Fred drops out, there's just nobody worth voting for.

That is, of course, if Hillary is not the nominee. If she is, I'll vote anybody but her. Unless it's Huckabee, then I'm screwed.

He was a lackluster candidate from the start. His campaign was a mess and he waited too long to get in, and never really hit the ground running.

He might have had ideas a lot of conservatives liked, but he obviously lacked the passion and drive needed to seek the office.. and if you lack those, you don't belong in the race.

Just want to give a big "Fuck You" to all those bloggers and sites that repeatedly mock Paul but endorsed Fred. (redstate, hotair, LGF, etc)


At least Paul lasted longer and performed better than Fred.

Now all we need is for huckabee, mccain, romney, and guiliani to drop out

Earlier this year, when Thompson made it clear he was contemplating a 2008 White House bid, CQPolitics.com published a chart and analysis of Thompson’s positions on key votes. The chart, which can be accessed here, compares Thompson’s votes with those of three GOP senators who served with Thompson and who are running for president or weighing a bid — Sam Brownback of Kansas and John McCain of Arizona, who are announced candidates, and Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska, who is still considering a presidential bid, possibly as an independent.

The CQPolitics.com analysis found that Thompson and McCain voted the same way on 83 of 102 CQ-defined “key votes” (81.4 percent) during the eight years the two men served together. Thompson agreed with Brownback on 57 of 70 votes (81.4 percent) and with Hagel on 57 of 71 votes (80.3 percent).

Thompson amassed an average score of 86 percent (out of a maximum 100) from the American Conservative Union (ACU), with scores ranging from 83 percent in 1995 to 92 percent in 2000. His average score is lower than that of Brownback (94 percent) and slightly higher than that of Hagel (85 percent) and McCain (82 percent).

the link is broken, but I read it in the Post as well. McCain and Thompson are one in the same.

Which is exactly why I wasn't going to be voting for Thompson.
