There is always another option on your voting slate.
Conservatives are in agreement; there was no other truly conservative candidate for the nomination of the Presidency in 2008 than Fred Dalton Thompson. The Republican Party is leaving us with its big government candidates who don’t believe in restrained spending or federalism. Our nation is at a crucial crossroads with threats at home and abroad. If we are going to protect our nation’s identity and our sovereignty, then we must force the Republican Party to return to the conservative prinicples that will lead us forward. It is with that in mind that we urge all conservatives to VOTE FOR FRED DALTON THOMPSON during your state’s primpary. And if he isn’t on the ballot, WRITE-IN FRED THOMPSON. It is imperative that we sent a message to our party and our nation, that it is time to return to ideals of our founders and our constitution. Its time we send a message to our party and the media that this should once again become a serious process among professionals who are serious about the task at hand and not just looking for power and prestige. Its time we return to citizen servants who seek to further the cause of democracy and not just their self interests.

Gee, Fred Thompson was the only one? I thought the only one was Duncan Hunter.

I just don’t understand how a jackass like McCain is doing as well as he is. I simply cannot stand the man, or his postions. When asked about his ability to lead the nations economy he responded with a rant about his military experience. He isabsolutely the worst example of the Republicans.
There is a possiblity that even the Republican Party changes…It has in the past.
….It was regarded as the radical Liberal Party during the time of Lincoln.
….Twenty years later it became the party of big business.
….It was a party of isolationists from the early 1900s to 1941. Prominent Republicans refered to WW-II as Mr Roosevelt’s war during the early years.
….Post WW-II the Republican Party became a party of interventionists…rejecting completely it’s America First roots.
….From WW-II to the Reagan era the Republican Party was largely a mixture of “Country-Club Republicans”, fiscal conservatives, states rights Southerners, and a small percentage of whack jobs that had no where else to go.
….Reagan managed bring a lot of different groups into the Republican Party, which led to the eventual Republican majority in Congress in 1994.
….There is a possibility we are seeing another shift in the Republican Party. We really will not know until after it happens, but it is certain that a shift of some sort will happen in the future.
….Life only offers four choices when change occurs:
1. Mutate
2. Migrate
3. Adapt
4. Die
Then again I could be wrong.

Shannon,
To be fair..The Democrats also had a small percentage of left-wing whack jobs that had no where else to go.
The sixties were interesting times.
Simple
I will be voting for Ron Paul.
7, “Migrate”
#7, #8
Ditto
I developed a Paulyp when I saw John McCain holding up a Stop Global Warming poster.
Ron Paul ‘08!
7,9,10,
I think a “wait and see” course of action is more approriate.
To paraphrase a song, “We don’t always get what we want, but sometimes we get what we need.”.
I am not fond of John McCain. I used to be in 2000, but that was then and this is now.
I have cast protest votes in the past…I voted for Bill Clinton in 92 because I was upset with Bush-I….see what happened.
You have to do what you think is right, but this election (November)will be close. Do you want to cast a protest vote that will be meaningless of cast a vote that might actually accomplish a more desireable outcome.

Simple
Funny thing is, I told someone today that if Huck drops out before the Texas primary (I don’t think he will), I might just vote for Paul as a protest vote. Can’t hurt anything, sorta like voting for Kinky.
Why the heck not?
Oh, left out the no way in hades I’d vote for Romney part.
But in the general election, I’ll vote for the Republican, even if it is Romney.
Simple,
I was intrigued by your comment “I used to be [fond of McC] in 2000″
I feel much the same way…I was furious that the Republican party machine was forcing W down our throats as the “chosen one” candidate in 2000 (and they were) and was attracted to McC for that very reason and I know a lot of other people were upset at the time as well.
Other have pointed out that we have successfully weeded out the Rudy G’s from the pack…absent a “true” conservative, we might finally get the candidate some of us would have liked to have had in 2000, and we can’t be satisfied?!
I say we give him a chance.
All My Best,

Simple, I’ll take our USMC way when dealing with liberals: Improvise and neutralize.
We had snowstorms here in Hawaii day before yesterday. Funny thing is they are having a multi nation global warming conference here, LOL. Everything above 7,000 feet was snowed in:

CWB, okay, let’s review McCain again:
Keating 5
McCain/Feingold, a slap in the face of your lst Amendment rights that every American who ever wore a uniform has pledged to protect.
Favors amnesty for illegals and no border control.
Conspires with liberals instead of supporting his party platform - gang of 14.
Has never run a business.
McCain had a stellar record as a POW and in the Navy in general. Doesn’t make him qualified for Pres.
Nope, he’s no conservative.
I could write in Thompson. I could write in Hunter. I might consider Paul.
I have to agree that a protest vote, even if only in the Primary, is a dangerous approach. We have to get someone we can at least stomach voting for, because the Clinton/Obama alternative (in November) is even worse. After that, it’s a matter of closely monitoring what the elected officials do, particularly in the House and Senate, and making certain that they understand clearly what the voters back home want to see happen.

Now they’re running the joint, and have even set the table for islamonazis at the DNC at the DNC!
(The name Mujahid means Holy Warrior)
Fastie,
I am not sure…but most radical Islamists can hardly be classified as left wing given their conservative religous views.
I am pretty sure that the California leftists in the Democratic Party have no more in common with the radical Islamists than well…Congress has with thrift.
I don’t know enough about the specific gentleman in question, but ain’t diversity great?
Simple
Faster I’m with you The Nuge!!!
That whole “enemy of my enemy is my friend” thing (that’s a Persian saying btw, I think). Just that the lefties are too stupid, or blinded by their hatred of the right that the don’t see that they are not fellow travelers, just useful idiots. Diversity for the sake if diversity is foolish. They all may be different, but their combined goal is to tear down America for their own leftist purposes. And, many of the islamists beliefs are very leftist-marxist and not too far from the Dhimmicrats core beliefs. The commies of the Cold War loved the “revolutionary” spirit of the jihadis. Islam is just like marxism, both seek to destroy the political man and nationhood. Both want a utopian society based on their core beliefs forced upon the masses, by revolution and blood if need be. Both marxism and Islam are the religion of the revolutionary. Freedom is alien to both beliefs. Leftists in America are either willing participants or ignorant of their own beliefs and bedfellows.
#20 Simple, you forget the number one thing they have in common. They both hate America.
In my best imitation voice of Kate Winslet from Titanic… Fred,(tap his hand) Fred, Fred, come back please…………….
Fasternu, Liberals supporting radical Islamists makes as much sense as Jews supporting Nazis.
Big Jolly, it may be time to pull away and start a Conservative party and leave the blue bloods dangling in the wind.
emmekelley. Kate was wonderful in HOLIDAY.
Fast,
The PLO enjoyed strong support from the Soviets and were indeed more secular than say…Hamas.
Many people in this country do not understand the various factions and groups in the Middle-East. There are deep divisions even amoung the Islamists.
Regrettably, it is this lack of understanding that has landed us in the quagmire.
The Neocons (Republicans) were passing Adnan Chalibi around the rubber chicken circuit during the nineties. Mr Chalibi spent his time convincing prominent neocons that Sadaam Hussein was the debil in league with Al Quadi and he had WMD.
Now we know that Mr Chalibi was an agent of the Iranian security service and the WMD story has been largely discounted as a fairy tale. We now know from remarks from Saadamm in prison that he was no friend of Osama Bin Laden. We ended up doing the Iranian’s bidding by knocking off their enemy Saadamm.
I share your fear about the Democrats having anyone on their staff dedicated to doing harm to the USA, but in fairness this is a concern I have with BOTH parties.
