Should Fred’s supporters abandon him tomorrow for … Huckabee?

T-minus 24 hours and counting until, in all likelihood, his political career’s over. I can’t resist one last poke at the Fredhead beehive for old time’s sake.
The argument comes from Patrick Ruffini: Since Huckabee probably doesn’t have the money or organization to run the table on Super Ultra Mega Tuesday but McCain does, shouldn’t South Carolina’s Romney, Giuliani, and Thompson supporters defect tomorrow and vote for Huck to blunt Mac’s momentum heading into Florida? That’s an easy yes in the first two cases but in Fred’s case it would mean the end. Has the time come to take Ol’ Yeller out back? Ruffini says … yes:
If you’re a Romney or a Rudy guy, this is a relative no-brainer. This will be tougher for FredHeads, since their guy has made a stand in the state. But with less than 24 hours to go, and Fred running no better than a weak third, it is probably time to face facts. It’s too bad, because conservatives deserve Fred Thompson as a choice, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening.
John Tabin at Reason likewise fears the Reaper:
Alas, Thompson has hardly taken the race by storm. Glenn Reynolds wrote last month that he might have joined Volokh et al. in endorsing Thompson if he hadn’t observed how poorly Thompson’s campaign is run behind the scenes. That poorly run campaign has yielded poor results. Thompson’s low-key affect and introverted personality made him ill-suited to the hands-on retail politicking that Iowans expect, and he edged out John McCain for third place in the Iowa caucuses by just three tenths of a percentage point despite spending much more time than McCain stumping in the Hawkeye State (McCain focused on New Hampshire, where he won). He made almost no effort in the New Hampshire and Michigan primaries, where he got less than 2 percent and less than 4 percent of the vote, respectively…
Perhaps something will change the dynamics of the race in the remaining hours before South Carolina Republicans go to the polls tomorrow, and Thompson will catch a break. But at the moment, his prospects don’t appear to give fans of smaller government any reason to abandon the pessimism that has by now become all too familiar.
Re: how poorly run Fred’s campaign is/was, be sure to see this Mark Steyn item at the Corner if you missed it last night. Has the time come, ‘Heads? If the polls hold and Fred finishes fourth with less than half of McCain’s vote, Romney’s going to be your guy anyway come Sunday morning. Why not vote strategically tomorrow?
I offer you this to remember the man by. Meanwhile, here’s the state of conservatism in 2008: A RINO touting the kind words of another RINO in, of all places, South Carolina. Between them they’ve got 50% of the vote. Good lord.

It’s people like you that make me bald. I’m in no mood to argue with you about Huck at the moment because I’m trying to stay warm. That problem aside, your previous posts have been all about abortion, which is a topic that frankly bores me to death. I’m soooo over it. Huck runs on identity politics and speaks to a very select group of conservatives, a group that I’m not a part of anymore. I frankly could care less about what a woman chooses to do with her pregnancy. It’s up to her. I just don’t want my tax dollars supporting it. There. Said it. Moving on now.
Huck’s not the guy;
The only thing you need to do to turn yourself off on Huck is look at a few other posts here on HA. It’s enough to turn your stomach.

you are right, not all Fredheads are elitist Talicons who think they have the right to call all other candidates and their supporters hairdo loving RINOs….and then whine when some greanades get tossed their way.
I was a Fredhead, but quickly saw that he wasn’t going to cut the mustard and would get blitzed in a general election.
Nixon was right, Fred’s is not the sharpest tool in the box and his campaign is direct evidence of this.

In the last couple of weeks there has been a real surge on the ground for Fred. I guess we will know long before this time tomorrow if the ground swell holds out for him. I would be really shocked if McCain does as well as the polls claim. Lindsey Lou is not well liked in these parts nor is McCain, put them together and a lot of us hicks start spitting toe–backie juice!!! even if we don’t dip or chew or run with those who do!!

Seriously.
What has gotten into you people?
This should disqualify Fraud Thompson from running for the Presidency. He worked on behalf of the Libyan terrorists who blew Pan Am flight 103 out of the sky over Lockerbie Scotland. Lobbying on behalf of abortion on demand is one thing – advocating for terrorists is another. It is completely unacceptable.
Now, do any of you understand the above??
Rudy Giuliani is a liberal with some conservative tendencies. He vehemently supports abortion and told us this. And no matter what he says it doesn’t change that abortion is murdering little babies. Plus, he’s for same gay marriage. This is completely unacceptable.
Okay… do you get what I just said. Is it registering?
Romney, he advocated governmental recognition of homosexual adoption rights, domestic partnerships and homosexual civil unions. He opposed the Boy Scouts’ policy prohibiting homosexuals from serving as scoutmasters and prevented the organization from participating publicly in the 2002 Olympics. And he lies like in this 30 second ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhOSsix3XEk
Does any of this matter to you???
McCain – If you agree with the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that would legalize 20 million illegal aliens, then you should vote for John McCain. If you agree with McCain’s statement that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton do not get enough credit for what they did in foreign policy, then you should vote for John McCain. (That is McCain’s “foreign policy experience” – he praised the foreign policy of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton during the Iowa presidential debate in 2000.)
None of you mention any of this all you do is bash the most conservative one of the bunch, Mike Huckabee. The hypocrisy is astouonding.

However, certain comments can put anyone on edge.

Fox News has a poll out. These results are in answer to the question “If your candidate were not on the ballot, which candidate would be your second
choice?”
1. Mike Huckabee 17%
2. John McCain 17
3. Mitt Romney 16
4. Fred Thompson 16
Interestingly enough, When they break it into a chart saying where the numbers are coming from you get this:

stlpatriot on January 19, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Mr. 76,
If changing one’s position on an issue is a disqualifier, you have no one to vote for. Fred changed from pro-choice to pro-life. Giuliani has changed svereal positions, including immigration, Romney has changed most of his positions and even McCain says he now see the light on immigration. I know, I know, Huckabee’s change was quite recent. But that would mean it is less cynical because his change wasn’t planned out months or even years earlier. Huckabee has laid out a good, solid immigration plan which is as conservative and tough as any of the front runner’s plans. You obviously have the right to not believe him. I just wanted to remind you to consider holding all these candidates equally accountable for their flip-flopping because they are all guilty. Some more and some less so.
I hope you keep that in mind.

That doesn’t suprise me. After all Huck’s campaign manager said, “We like McCain” and Mac is running an ad of video of Huck’s praise. Before the race began they were pretty close ideologically.
What has been interesting to me, is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen such dramatic chance in the middle of a campaign before. Huck was a 2nd tier guy with non-conservative views, and his charisma got him a lot of attention and his natural base with social cons catapulted him into a win in Iowa and in the 1st tier. Now that the MSM is really seeing him for the “first” time, he has been able to recast almost all his issues in a very conservative mold. It’s amazing, I’ve never seen such a move like that within a campaign before…at least preceding a general.

Huck is the only candidate who changes positions more often than underwear among any of the candidates.

Deport all illegals” and from “smoking is an evil pox on humanity and it should be banned” to “no smoking bans ever” to “the government should be able to ban anything indecent” in the span of what, 3 days?

I would look at it this way, “I’m NOT voting for Huckabee BECAUSE I am pro life.” Please refer to who got the NRLC endorsement, as well as numerous state-wide Right to Life organizations. Getting originalist judges to overturn Roe will save the unborn. A fairy tale about amendments will only do harm.
redneck hippie on January 19, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Certainly I’m willing to do that. But Huck has a lack of credibility that others do not, which is compounded by the fact he moved on so many issues. Romney (not shilling for him), for example, has been endorsed by the man who knows more about immigration than anybody in the nation! (Which doesn’t mean he has anti-evangelical hate – I really wish you would drop that canard here). McCain hasn’t changed his position at all except to say that he has heard the people and he will enforce the law and “build the d*mn fence” (Consider Mat 21:28-31). I won’t go through the others because I don’t want to dig for links.

I get tired of trying to explain to people that abortion is murder, so there ya go. My hope though is that one day you change your mind on this.
People have been bashing Huck, first, not the other way around. Huckabee, after taking this crap for weeks, hits back and now out comes all the outrage.
No outrage when Romney attacks.
Outrage when Huckabee hits back.

Yup, suggesting critics sodomize themselves with a flagpole, that’s truly Christian.
If any Fred! Rudy or Mitt supporters are really dumb enough to go out in a freezing rain just so they can vote against their candidate, they need to vote for McCain to exorcise the Huckster from the rest of the campaign.

In stitches. Too much. Slapping my knee. Wiping my tears. Gotta write this one down.

I don’t vote for Democrats even if they have an R after their name but since the GOP now should be called Democrat Lite I guess we’re going to see more and more of this crap.
I’m voting for Fred come super Tuesday if he’s still in the race. I’ve been sending him money since Tancredo dropped out and Hunter failed to flourish. I guess if Fred drops out it will be a great time to be independent. If Romney is still there come November ‘08 I could vote for him but I wouldn’t vote for any of the others.

nope…I’m insulting you directly because you asked for it punk, stop throwing your shitty little smears and insults at Romney or don’t and continue to be ridiculed.
sure thing, I’m nominating you to explain how the pure unadulterated snowy white conservative policy papers of The Fred failed to illuminate and invigorate the great unwashed voting public.
PS I betcha he endorses McCain, you’ll explain that to us rinos won’t you?

redneck hippie,
That was a good post from RedState, and I thought his premise,
and his points were excellent.

Probably because when Romney “attacks” he points out Huck’s own scattered record on every issue known to man, and when Huck attacks he plays up the stupid Baptist minister humble servant of the Lord shtick as he throws in a snide remark about Mormonism’s supposed beliefs, despite the fact he’s given speeches on it before.
Huck is basically the living embodiment of every single shyster televangelist stereotype in existence.

We have to prevent Mccain from getting the nomination!!!
Fred heads…look fred is going to drop out and endorse mccain.
Fred was a lobbyist for libyan muslim nazi terrorists, has spencer abram on his team and was a lobbyist for abortion groups….
The fantasy of Fred is dead…now it’s time to look past the lies and see the true consistent conservative Mike Huckabee!

The harm you do, Allahpundit…the harm you do.
I hope and pray the people of South Carolina have more sense than Michelle Malkin and Allahpundit. (Thank you, Bryan, for weighing in on the side of the good guy!)

Since you put it that way . . .

I have done some research on this issue and it appears that this is just a bunch of libs making unsubstantiated claims.
latimes etal
It must have been some lib or Mike Huckleturd that is pushing this.
Oh PS I say let people get all the abortions they want. It only thins the Lib herd. Can I donate somewhere?
TheSitRep on January 19, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Yes… and today… we have Black Cherry Cool aid…
Hmmm
Yes, and Huck is a Conservative.
