DesScorp's Journal: So Thompson is now out...

...and I just don't know who I'm going to vote for in the GOP primaries now. I'm down to a few very bad choices. This will very much be a lesser of the evils election for me.

I have to choose between John McCain, a man who seemingly has more fondness for Democrats than for his own party on the big issues of the day (save for the war), and Mitt Romney, a man who ran and governed as a liberal in Massachusetts, and now claims to be the heir to Reagan....which means either he's had the mother of all mind changes, or that he just tells the crowd whatever it wants to hear to win the next office. Nice choice,eh?

And don't even mention Huckabee, a man more like Jimmy Carter than a Republican nominee for President.

Yeah, really. I mean if you can't get the guy you want, go do the total opposite. Well, I guess I can't be the CEO at IBM, I guess I'll go eat out of dumpsters.

It would be better to write in Thompson (or Mickey Mouse) in the general election than to vote the opposite of your views. At least someone looking at the results will get the idea that someone out there feels disenfranchised and hopefully have an idea of how to run in the next election and try to win your vote.

At this point I am leaning Romney.

You are an idiot if you think I support someone because of political party. Wouldn't I then be supporting whoever winds up getting the Republican nomination? But no, I made it clear I will not support McCain or Huckabee. I dislike their views event though they claim to be a Republicans in McCain's case, and Huckabee I do not trust even though he has certain conservative views.

And as someone who loves his country very much, I feel that Obama's views are detrimental to our country, for that matter any of t

I think you've got some Obama-mania. He may be a smart, quality man, but if I disagree with his policy proposals (and I do...a lot), then how am I putting my party before my country if I won't vote for a man and a party whose policies I vehemently oppose?

Even though what's left of the GOP field sucks like a cheap whore, with the exception of Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, I can live with them getting elected...I won't like it, and I'll be keeping an eye on them, but John McCain or Romney, as deeply flawed as t

Thompson can still run!

Thompson can still run in the general election as an independent. Go Fred go!

He should restart the Federalist Party.
