Fred Thompson Drops out.

Yep, that’s right, Fred Thompson has dropped out of the race for the White House.

There’s much opinion is to why, sources are saying that he’s taking care of his ill Mother. Other say it was because he got in too late. Something I said on my other Blog that got hacked, long ago, back when he first got in.

The people I feel sorry for, are the one’s who gave money to this guy and supported him, I mean, what do they have to show for it? Not a lousy thing.

Video Via MSNBC:

I wish Fred the best of luck.

I predict that the next one’s to drop out, will be Huckabee, Rudy, and possibly Ron Paul. Although he might run as an Independent or a Libertarian.  It will then be a mad dash between Romney and McCain. I predict that things will get nasty between McCain and Romney. Which one will get it, that I cannot predict. But it will be quite the race.

Yeah, I know, you're wondering why….

I know, you’re most likely wondering why I have not Blogged about the Debates.

Because I am just very disgusted with the whole process. That is why.

John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton spent most of the day, which was SUPPOSED to be celebrating the Birthday of a man who stood up for social justice, being civil to one another.

Then all at once, within a one-hour period, all of that civility went out the window.  

Some would say, “Hey, that’s politics.”, Well, you know? I disagree. Just what in the name of the Almighty, is being accomplished by the first African-American and the first Female Presidential candidates sniping over absolutely idiotic nonsense?  

I mean, what kind of image is that sending to the American people? What kind of signal is that sending to aspiring young people interested in Politics? That it is perfectly acceptable to attack someone that you are running against?

Normally, I would, without delay, post the videos of the sniping and comment about it. But that’s what the main stream media is doing. That’s what every political Blogger is doing. They’re a part of the media machine. I’m just not interested in joining the chorus of Bloggers talking about that feckless nonsense.

I am actually scared to death, why? Because I am afraid that people have seen this sniping and they’ve thought, “Why the hell should I vote for those two?” I mean, this would be great thing for Edwards, But we’re on the threshold of making history here and the two damned idiots that are principle players in it are acting like total nincompoops!

Don’t even get me started about Bill Clinton. “Hey Honey, I’m going go out and destroy you’re chances of getting elected!”, He’s another of the feckless ones. Not to mention his falling asleep during Martin Luther Kings III’s speech. More fodder for the media machine, I guess.

I guess I’m supposed to be feeling really good about all this hoopla, so far, Nothing. Nada. No Dice. I’d rather be watching the history channel or something else more productive.

I apologize if you came here thinking that I had some great commentary on the debates, But I just don’t. I just don’t have an impression.

I will say this, if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton keep up the nonsense, and the Democrats lose, and we end up with John McCain AKA Bush 2.0 or that Mormon freak Mitt Romney in the White House, the Democrats will have no one to blame, but their own selves for it.

So far, color me unimpressed with the Democrats.

Rudy's Desperation kicks in….

Rudy Reaches for God’s Black Book- (Washington Whispers) (Via usnews.com)

Quote:

Rudy Giuliani, the socially liberal Republican who’s slipping in the polls, is reaching for an unusual E-mail list for help: a collection of 25 million Christian evangelicals. We hear that Rudy’s church ally, Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson, is making overtures to the list’s owner, Alabama-based Optimum Impact. The E-mail addresses have always been available for the asking, but so far only GOP candidates Rep. Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee have made the call. But is it too late for Rudy to quiet the Huckabee surge among Christians? "Who knows?" says one evangelical leader. "But ‘day late and dollar short’ comes to mind."

I’d say, at this point, he’d need a miracle, like the top 3 candidates die of heart attacks at the same time. Tongue

In other words, he’s done. Big Grin

What he gets for running as Mister 9/11!   Rolling Eyes

Ah well, One less Republican in the race. Applause

No Love for John McCain Either…

What’s a cracker got to do to catch a Break?

Click here to see what I’m referring to.

I hate to admit it, But McCain’s about the only damn Conservative that’s qualified for the damn job, if you ask me.

Before anyone asks, yeah, I remember the immigration thing. I think he has learned from that. I really do, otherwise, he wouldn’t still be in the race.

If Hillary wins the nomination, and McCain get’s the Republican nod, I might be tempted to hold my nose…. and… You know.

Although, there’s quite a bit of time, between now and then, so… I’ll stay tuned.

Michael Gerson has NO LOVE for Fred Thompson

 Here’s Why:

Quote:

At a campaign stop attended by a CBS reporter in Lady’s Island, S.C., Thompson was asked if he, "as a Christian, as a conservative," supported President Bush‘s global AIDS initiative. "Christ didn’t tell us to go to the government and pass a bill to get some of these social problems dealt with. He told us to do it," Thompson responded. "The government has its role, but we need to keep firmly in mind the role of the government, and the role of us as individuals and as Christians on the other."

Thompson went on: "I’m not going to go around the state and the country with regards to a serious problem and say that I’m going to prioritize that. With people dying of cancer, and heart disease, and children dying of leukemia still, I got to tell you — we’ve got a lot of problems here. . . . " Indeed, there are a lot of problems here — mainly of Thompson’s own making.

Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. Michael Gerson, by the way, was a Bush Speech writer. Perhaps a little Neo-Con Bias showing, Maybe?

Just sayin’!

Poll: Nevada to go to Hillary and Romney

That’s what the Polls are saying.

Of course, those Polls have been wrong before.

So, I’ll be handing out congrads, when the caucus and primaries are over.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Mike Huckabee has lost his mind.

Yep, that’s right. He can forget getting elected. Because of this sort of stuff Here.

Money Quote:

QUESTIONER: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.

HUCKABEE: Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.

Oh yeah, like Centrists and Independents are going to vote for some idiot that makes statements like that.

What’s more, was this one:

“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”

Wow. This dude wants to do away with the Separation of Church and State. I bet these guys wouldn’t be too happy about that.

I don’t know about you, I don’t quite think that this guy is quite ready for prime time. Stick to Church Mike, it can only help.   

Say Goodbye Willard!

Willard Mitt Romney goes off on a AP Reporter.

He’ll pay for that in the caucus. You don’t act like a jerk to Media and get away with it. They will bury you.

Video Via MSNBC:

 

Oh yeah, He’s a jerk. Say goodbye to this hosehead.

The Main Stream "Liberal" and otherwise, media will bury him for this.

Update: I guess he does have a lobbyist on his staff and He HAS gotten paid. This comes via Frameshop:

However, a simple search of Romney’s recent campaign expense filings found these two entries:

  • Dec. 3, 2007 -  a payment of "$300" by the Romney campaign to "Kaufman, Ronald."
  • Oct. 19, 2007 – a payment of  "$100" to "Dutko World Wide."

D’oh! So, so much for the truth.
