Comments on: What’s wrong with Writing-In Fred Thompson? http://hillbillypolitics.com/2008/02/03/whats-wrong-with-writing-in-fred-thompson/ Just Down to Earth Politcal Discussions in Plain English for the "Rest of Us."

The problem is the GOP doesn't realize a RINO has no chance against the Dems. That leaves conservatives three choices - stay home which doesn't help other conservatives on the ballot - or - hold their nose and vote for the RINO and the broken playbook - or - write-in Fred. As Hillbilly says it goes beyond Fred at this point. It's about telling the GOP that as conservatives we've had enough. And unlike a 3rd party vote or not voting a write-in for Fred can't be spun or ignored. Remember the Giants were given no chance yesterday and pulled off a miracle.

And as far as the NYT article, well, Thinkfirst, think about the fact that it comes from the New York Times which is as liberal as they come. Ir's a paper that publishes leaked state secrets without regard to the damage that might be caused, a paper that would just as soon lie as tell the truth if a lie forwards their agenda better, and a paper hardly anybody believes anymore. Do you really think McCain is the most electable? These are the primaries. When the Clinton machine gets going in the general, all the stuff that McCain would rather keep hidden or forgotten about will come to the fore. He will be torn to pieces and we'll watch as Clinton marches into the White House for a third term. Everything will be amplified several times over in the efforts to destroy his candidacy at that point and the MSM will help her. Yes, he will… eventually… but that’s not the point of writing him in.
