"Thank God For Fred Thompson"
CHARLESTON, SC -- The reaction from Marvin Katzen, the McCain supporter who told us earlier in the evening that he was looking for vindication from the 2000 loss to tonight's win: "Thank God for Fred Thompson." Katzen credits McCain's victory to the fact that Thompson split the conservative evangelical vote with Mike Huckabee in Upstate. Even so, Katzen concedes that he still feels "burned" by '00 results and isn't ready to say that he feels confident that McCain will win the nomination. [AMY WALTER]
McCain is to be congratulated. That being said I still feel that Thompson is the one we need for this country at this point in time.
Fred Must hang in there through Feb 5 in order to give himself a fair shake (I believe he is thinking the same thing.
Nah, Fred Thompson is an old white man out of touch with most Americans and our multicultural society.
I like McCain, he thinks for himself.

The only way I'd vote for Mccain is if he put Thompson on as VP. Period. McCain is nothing but an amnesty pusher. What part of illegal does this man not understand? Only until the base rose up and said "WTF John??!!!" did he get it through his head that illegals don't have RIGHTS!!! This Gang of 14 crap was also unbelievable. Glad Lindsey Graham has also been slapped down over that insulting display. While the Dems in charge gives me nightmares, I'm having a hard time stomaching McCain enough to even go to the polls should he be the nominee.
Mike Huckabee is ridiculous..... I can't believe how brainwashed the evangelicals are over this Baptist Preacher.... It is truely scary!!!
Mike Huckabee is no conservative....he is more liberal than any of the candidates. Unfortunately, he and McCain have put on false fronts and tried to paint themselves as Reagan Republicans which is a joke. It is sad how the field of current candidates of the Republican Party is so weak and changes their platforms and platitudes with each poll. Example look at the speeches of McCain, Huckabee and Romney in Iowa and NH and then look how they quickly converted themselves into Conservative wannabees from their speeches in SC. (minus Romney)
These are just typical lair politicians that change with the wind. I feel that we are looking at the true demise of the USA and the winds of change are now blowing in our face and not our backs. Immigration, tax policy, social security, pro-growth business attitudes...these are all lacking from the current Republican candidates. I would say the closest is Thompson to true Reagan conservatism. Unfortunately, the Republicans seem not to like what he has to say.
I do believe that the chances for a Democrat in the White House in 2009 is becoming more of a reality and with that goes the last great chance that the Republican Party will have to prove to the nation that "true" Conservative values can make our nation a better place.
Because the Democ"rats" will control the WH, Congress, and then appoint liberal judges and then defacto control the Supreme Court. With that accomplished look out because here comes far left loony Communist style socialism. Political correctness run a muck and social policies that will destroy free enterprise and run the USA into a deep recession....LOOK OUT because the writing is on the wall.
As Pat Buchannan is fond of saying the death of the west is at our doorstep, the barbarians have broken down the door and are dictating the terms of our surrender. Heaven help the USA and I pray that we can save ourselves from our self because we have no one to blame but us.... No nation in the world can defeat the USA; the USA will be defeated by itself.
McCain should thank Giuliani and Romney too for pulling out of SC (and Giuliani for pulling out everywhere else too).
