Friends and supporters of Senator Thompson;

By now you have been inundated with the news of Senator Thompson’s decision to not pursue the office of the President of the United States. I have received many emails and phone calls asking what the next steps for Senator Thompson are and who is the best candidate to support?

Posted at 1:21am on Jan. 20, 2008 Suggested Fred Goodbye Remarks

By haystack

Our own Ben Domenech has, through secret back channels and insiders known only to him, obtained a copy of the speech Fred Thompson intends to give tomorrow from the front porch of the family home in Tennessee.

Hey there folks. I'm Fred Thompson. I'd say I'm glad to be here, but I'm not, so f*** that.

I want to thank all of you who gave, volunteered, and worked for my campaign. You all know from those whiny b**ches in the media that you worked harder than I did for the most part, so thanks, even if you didn't work hard enough to get me a win. It's much appreciated. After I speak today, you can pick up some cake shaped like an American flag as a reward. You don't like cake, well, go back to France.

I have a few things to say about my fellow presidential candidates before I go back home to shag my hot wife and make kicka** coin talking to you all on the radio and doing ads for Viagra, which I don't need by the way, as if that fact was not obvious.

My fellow candidates are all men. Not good men, I say, cause most of them aren't. In fact, most of them just can't handle it if you asked them to get into a fight. They whine and complain about personal attacks, they flip and they flop like retarded carp, or they check to see if they broke a nail. I have never seen such a bunch of pansies strutting about pretending to be leaders.

Rudy Giuliani? Slick cheater. Mike Huckabee? Jesus freak. John McCain? Crazy. Mitt Romney? Woman.

All of these are reasons they should be forced to give this d**n speech today, not me.

This field of candidates isn't just unconservative, people. They're anti-conservative. They're anti-honesty, they're anti-honor, they're anti-courage. And I wouldn't trust them to watch my dog, let alone my country. They are the all singing all dancing crap of the world, as a fella once said. And they can kiss the fattest part of my a**.

That's why I ran. But it was clear to me from the get-go that America just wasn't ready for the awesome manliness of Fred Thompson. I'm just too much for you to handle. You want a candidate who will cater to your every whim, who will cuddle you in a blankie, coo over you in your crib. You want that cause you're all a bunch of selfish babies. No wonder you all went government to put a bandaid on your little skinned knees. Well, you're gonna get what you've got coming to ya all right, and I ain't gonna change ya when it all turns to a big ole' mess of baby crap. Who do you think I am, people? I'm Fred freaking Thompson.

A lot of you have been talking about who I'm going to endorse. Well, guess what: no endorsement from me. I still think those idiots are all a bunch of sorry-a** d****ebags. There's more principle in my left nut then they have in their entire bodies.

They want an endorsement? I endorse a brokered convention, so we can get a president who believes in the things I believe in: in big guns, red meat, cigar-chomping, manly suits, and hot trophy wife poontang.

That's the America I believe in. It's the America I grew up in. And it's the America we all deserve.

You can all suck it. Now get the hell off my lawn.

Posted at 11:07pm on Nov. 8, 2007 It is exciting enough just to stop Hillary

(Who's Pat Buchanan's pick, anyway?)

By Mark Kilmer

On one of his MSNBC shows this evening, infotainer Chris Matthews talked to Pat Buchanan and washingtonpost.com blogger Chris Cillizza about Republican Presidential politics. I suppose it’s good to hear opinions from outside the party – neither Buchanan nor Cillizza is a Republican – and it fills time for Matthews.

Matthews thinks Rudy wins the nomination. I don’t remember Cillizza expressing a certain opinion beyond Rudy, but Buchanan thought Mitt Romney had a good shot at defeating Giuliani no matter what Romney did. When confronted with the cumbersome fact that Romney is not faring well outside the few primary States where he is buying TV time and on one else has until recently, Buchanan echoed the popular theory that somehow wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, etc. will lift Romney’s popularity in other States. It’s plausible, PJB, but it would be insane to bet the fortune on that one. So many States are moving forward this cycle to increase their clout vis-à-vis the traditional candidacy-makers. No one’s going to follow these States just because Pat Buchanan complains that this is how it has always been done.

Nah, if Romney’s going to win this nomination, he’ll need to win more than a few States early, fingers crossed.

But if he does win this nomination, there is no reason why he could not, with some help, defeat Hillary.

Let's look at a poll. (Read More....)
