Fred withdrew his candidacy today. UPDATE: Mitt Romney issued this statement: Throughout this campaign, Fred Thompson brought a laudable focus to the challenges confronting our country and the solutions necessary to meet them. He stood for strong conservative ideas and believed strongly in the need to keep our conservative coalition together. Ann and I would [...]
I’m 0 for 2 now. I thought Romney was out of the race after New Hampshire, and I thought Fred was going to win in South Carolina. Just goes to show that you can’t make accurate predictions if you’re emotionally invested in the outcome. I’m disappointed that South Carolinians decided to vote for John McCain [...]
David Limbaugh (Rush Limbaugh’s brother) encourages people to support Fred Thompson: Commentators are citing the unpredictability of the Republican primary contests as proof that Reagan conservatism is dead when precisely the opposite conclusion is warranted. The main reason the conventional wisdom is being shattered in the primaries is that conservative voters, so far, have not [...]
Warning: One mild profanity is used in the song. And in case you missed it, here’s the mother of one of Wayne DuMond’s victims speaking out against Huckabee:
It’s not an endorsement, but it’s apparently as far as Rush Limbaugh, who doesn’t do endorsements in primaries, will go: “It looks like we have a conservative in the race, folks. “…You just heard Huckabee say, in defining Reaganism, ‘We need to make sure that we communicate that our party is just as interested in [...]
Jim Geraghty of National Review says that Thompson was the big winner in the SC debate. He mentions that Frank Luntz’s focus group says Fred won, too. He must have, because at this moment I cannot access Fred’s website and the amount of donations has skyrocketed in the past hour. Go Fred!! Update: Here’s Fred [...]
Romney outspent all the other candidates combined in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and yet he was unable to take first place in either state. This should prove that he is unviable as a candidate. If he drops out, we’re left with John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson (no one really believes [...]
All the good parts from the debate (highlights featuring Fred Thompson): I think Fred hit a home run. Here’s what the media had to say about Fred’s performance at the debate: “I think Fred Thompson had a terrific night.” (George Stephanopoulos, ABC) “Fred Thompson won the debate.” (The Atlantic) “[Fred Thompson] came to play tonight.” [...]
From Friends of Fred Thompson: This is Romney’s health care plan of which he claims authorship and credit. The plan guarantees Planned Parenthood a seat at the decision-making table. The plan provides taxpayer-funded abortions for a copay of $50. The plan penalizes individuals not buying health insurance coverage and small businesses not offering health insurance [...]
If you get to stay (in other words, cut line in front of people who are trying to get into the country legally), it’s amnesty. Giuliani just can’t seem to wrap his mind around the concept. If you come here illegally, you shouldn’t be allowed to stay. It’s really that simple.
