Should Fred’s supporters abandon him tomorrow for … Huckabee?
posted at 8:30 pm on January 18, 2008 by Allahpundit
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.

I’ll admit I first came to the Huckabee camp from Rudy’s because I thought Huck was the most like Reagan.
Now after hearing much more from him…I don’t think he’s going to be a Reagan clone per se..I think he’s going to be more of an epic president like Lincoln!
There’s only one president better than Reagan and that’s Lincoln(for now)!

Barry Goldwater was Ronald Reagan’s Political Godfather and if he were still alive Barry Goldwater would be kicking The High Reverend Huckster to Kingdome come.

What an S.O.B. you are…
Theworldisnotenough on January 19, 2008 at 4:48 AM
Millions of Christians are fasting and praying for a Huckabee victory tomorrow!!
I believe in the power of prayer and fasting as the Word says 1 Timothy 2:1-4
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth”.
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 4:54 AM
New poll, new poll! American Research Group shows Fred! solidly in 3rd with 21%! Yeah, it also shows Huck in the lead at 33% (grrrrrr), but this Fredhead is feeling the euphoria!
How accurate is the ARG?
Here’s the link

I’m one evangelical who has been praying her heart out for a Fred victory today. Go Fred!!

Aslans Girl on January 19, 2008 at 5:39 AM
Okay, so I see that someone else already posted this poll 4 hours ago… but it bears repeating, I think? Hopefully the Fred part is accurate and the Huck part not so much, lol.
Aslans Girl on January 19, 2008 at 5:48 AM
If Fred doesn’t make the cut today, I will do one of two things on election day:
1)I will write him in and go on my merry way.
2)I will vote for the Libertarian candidate (unless that turns out to be a vote for Ron Paul)
Get ready for President Hildewench, folks, as I refuse to vote for any more RINOs.
Maybe four years hence the repubes will get it together. If not, I’ll be thinking of you all when I am living out my days beating the hell out of a little white ball somewhere in the Caribbean.
Sorry, Allahpundit. I love ya man, but I gotta do what I gotta. KWIM?
I’m sure you understand.

Dave R. on January 19, 2008 at 5:55 AM
I’m pokin’ my nose in here because it’s late and I might as well get in on this. Right up front, I’m a Christian and something of a Fredhead. I DO NOT TRUST Huckabee. Any man who tries to use his religion as a club to try and force believers to vote for him is contemptible in my mind and doubly so if he is a Christian. We are admonished to “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and render unto God what is God’s,” and I take that quite seriously. Christians are NOT meant to try and inaugurate a theocracy on Earth but rather to be salt and light, and to hear my brethren advocate for what is effectively that is somewhat disheartening.
Add to which his obvious stands against Federalism and for more national government are truly dismaying. What he should be arguing, in my mind, is more freedom for believers and the Church, not making a bid to force others to live as we do. We are an example, not overlords! Man is inherently flawed, so any endeavor made by him will be also flawed. When those flaws are exacerbated because they are in the name of God (being no less wicked because of which), I weep for our faith.
Yes, I know calling Huck a theocrat is something of an exaggeration, but unfortunately not enough of one if his big selling point is that he is a Christian and not that he is for the values upon which this country is founded and DON’T try and tell me he is! I can read his own quotes as well as the next guy. None of these jokers is ideal, I’ll freely grant that, but of all of them, I think Fred would do the least damage. Goodnight.
Militant Bibliophile on January 19, 2008 at 5:58 AM
Huckabee does have a base, unfortunately they’re full of Ron Paul Brownees (the only way they could possibly believe he can beat Hillary). If large numbers of Repubs won’t vote for Huckster how is it you think he can possibly pull enough independents or democraps to win?
jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 6:06 AM
AMEN brother.
jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 6:10 AM
Where do fredheads get their info about Huckabee from??
Do you get it straight from the abortion lobbyist himself?
Fred must of been a very convincing attorney to be able to prevent all of his followers from doing any independent research on Huckabee. Didn’t he get a light sentence for the libyan muslim terrorists he was representing??
Look…Fred is a fantasy.
There was never anything there!
Here’s the reality.. wasting your vote on fred is the same thing as casting a vote for Juan Mccain!
Do you want amnesty for illegals and the end of the U.S.A.?
Fred does…I’ll prove it on sunday when Fred drops out and endorses Mcvain.
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 6:18 AM
Do you not understand that if you waste your vote on fred and guarantee a Mcvain nomination…..this is the only possible scenario in which Hildebeast would actually be able to play the anti amnesty candidate and would win in a landslide with 80%+!!
We’ve learned that 80% of the country is vehemently against amnesty for illegals…..why waste a vote on a dead man and guarantee that we nominate THE amnesty candidate himself?
Fred’s dead…stick a fork in him.
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 6:37 AM
They get their information straight from that gibots mouth.
csdeven on January 19, 2008 at 6:38 AM
Let’s look for the two oldest geezers we can find and run them for president against the youthful democrats.
It sounds like a winning strategy!
Mccain/thompson 08′
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 6:51 AM
Thanks, CS. Harald, brother, I love your faith but even if Fred does go down, there is no prayer of my going for Huckabee (not that it matter, Oregon’s primary being so far back and my being an independent and all). Also, while abortion is an important issue, it is technically the law of the land right now, which means that there is nothing we can do about it except continue to agitate against it and win people over to our cause. There is simply no chance of the current SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade and even less of one with regards to a Constitutional Ammendment: the political climate is just wrong. So to blame the abortion lobby for the fact that your candidate cannot open his mouth without alienating a large portion of both his own potential base and those whose minds are not yet made up is a little on the absurd side.
BTW, as a constitutional issue, it should be up to the states as per the 9th amendment. Yes, I believe it is murder and my wife is doubly convinced, but as a legal precedent, it has history that goes back literally to Roman times. Barring a constitutional change for which the country is simply not ready, it ain’t gonna happen. Better to try to get Roe v. Wade overturned so as to minimize the damage.
Militant Bibliophile on January 19, 2008 at 6:58 AM
Proof Fred supports abortion!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=oEnRpMQeUWQ
If you know it is murder and do nothing to stop it you are an accomplice!
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 7:04 AM
At first blush, I really thought that Fred Thompson might, just might, actually bring something to the presidential campaign. He seemed like a solid, no nonsense conservative…but then he waited…
…and waited…
…and waited…
…to announce his candidacy. And, when he finally did, it was almost like he was saying, “Well, I don’t have anything really pressing on my calendar for the next four years, so I guess I’ll run for president, maybe kill some time.” There has been an aura of disinterest throughout his campaign, from the candidate himself, which many of us found to be a real turn off. It’s a shame, too. He had a lot of good things to say. If only he had said them with a little more conviction.
uncivilized on January 19, 2008 at 7:12 AM
…oh, and by the way, I wouldn’t vote for Mike Huckabee for county sewage commissioner.
uncivilized on January 19, 2008 at 7:13 AM
What did I just say? The only thing that is POSSIBLE at this juncture is to agitate and win over folks to our side! You can’t strong arm people into doing what you want, that’s where the theocracy threat comes in! The founding fathers knew what they were doing when they set the system up that way. Huck would be more problem than solution, a Republican Jimmy Carter. No thanks. I refuse to vote for a man simply because we share a religion regardless of what else he believes. And what’s a preacher doing running for political office in the first place? He should be with the flock who chose him, not trying to force the whole country into it.
Militant Bibliophile on January 19, 2008 at 7:13 AM
The above directed at Harald, BTW. Sorry for not making that clear

“A country that cannot feed itself, that cannot fuel itself, and that cannot fight for
itself with its own weapons which it manufactures itself is a nation that is no longer free.
It is only as free as the countries to whom it has outsourced those three things”.

A country that elects a nut who wants to alter the constitution to reflect gods word is one that will lose what freedom is has. We’re fighting religious nuts around the world. We don’t need one in the Whitehouse.

jwpq964,
If you think passing a constitutional amendment banning abortion and a constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman is so terrible…You’re definitely in the wrong party!
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:00 AM
According to your logic someone who thinks we should ban abortion and gay marriage is a liberal!
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I assume you have heard of states rights (the ones not specifically given the feds in the constitution). Those are issues that the Feds should leave to the states. You might be right on one point…if people like you are the future of the Republican party I will look elsewhere

Mike Huckabee signed the no tax raise pledge..he’s a liberal
Mike Huckabee signed the no amnesty pledge and has the strongest plan to end illegal immigration…that makes him a liberal.
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:07 AM
DUDE! WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?! Or are you in an alternative universe? As a FredHead, I know where I get my info about Huck, usually comes from his website. However, when Huck says something that goes against what his website says, I am not sure then who to believe!!!

jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 9:05 AM

That’s like saying I know slavery is wrong but let’s have the states decide whether or not to outlaw it…some states will have slavery and others won’t….maybe you’ve never heard of the civil war?

jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 9:16 AM
“I think we ought to be listening to our Constitution
a lot more than to the IRS and with the fair tax we can do it. And our freedom is, let me also say, threatened by the idea that we’ve got to stop, and that is that we can turn the sovereignty of our nation over to some international tribunal of the United Nations.
Let’s stop the Law of Sea Treaty. Let’s stop the nonsense of saying we’re going to abide by
the international rights of the child, which would usurp our constitutional authority.
And any federal judge who uses some international law as a precedent to make a court decision ought to be impeached”!
Mike Huckabee
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Just like a liberal, if someone disagrees with your position you immediately smear them with the RACIST label.
Do you really think passing an anti-abortion amendment is even remotely possible? You give me crap for supporting Fred, yet you tout a fantasy of the religious zealots that has absolutely a zero chance of passing. Give me a break.
jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 9:24 AM
Well, I’m shocked two things we can agree on.
jwp1964 on January 19, 2008 at 9:32 AM
“I fear that many Americans simply are not fully aware of the depth of threat we face from Islamofascism.
And I’m afraid that if we do not wake up and understand that this threat is one that we cannot negotiate,
accommodate, or placate – it is one which we must eradicate, because we they don’t care whether it takes 1,000 days or 1,000 years, their goal is not simply to make sure that your grandchildren don’t live as well or have as nice a home. They don’t want your grandchildren to ever live at all. We are not fighting a nation-state.
We are fighting an ideology that is rooted in theocratic notion that they would establish a theocracy on this earth; and for that to happen, all of us have to disappear.
Ladies and gentlemen, our nation, our world, our freedom has never faced the level of threat that we currently face.
We can fight those countries who have a war over
borders and boundaries,… but we cannot completely ever fully understand the depth of fanaticism that drives Islamofascism, and that’s why we must make sure that every American understands that the threat of our freedom is real. It’s going to be here. And we cannot have the naïve idea that if we leave them alone, they will leave us alone. That will get us killed”.
Mike Huckabee
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:40 AM
Mike Huckabee…nothing like a liberal…nothing like jimmy carter.
HaraldHardrada on January 19, 2008 at 9:42 AM
Fred Thompson came in to late. How is that? He entered the race in September. I don’t see that as late, I see the other candidates entering to early. That is a fact. Races don’t traditionally start until the beginning of the election year – always have. So he didn’t play the game the MSM wanted and now he’s branded as coming in late – too funny.
Fred Thompson is too old. Says who? And his being older means what, he has less experience (that was a good Reagan joke)? Reagan was 69 when he ran, maybe he should have sat out too because of the younger Carter and Anderson? What a bigoted remark.
Fred Thompson doesn’t have fire in the belly. Compared to who? I have watched the debates and see McCain acting the same way. They showed him yesterday in Columbia and he acted no different than Thompson. Not really sure what folks are talking about. Are they looking for a fire and brimstone preacher? A messiah? I need neither of those as I already have both.
Fred Thompson isn’t Christan enough or doesn’t go to church on a regular basis. Boy if that isn’t a bigoted remark. Reagan didn’t attend church regularly either. So he doesn’t wear the “I’m a Christan cause I say so, look at me” wrist band. As I understand it, Christians are to be known by their fruit, not their bragging (remember the fig tree?). He talks about God on his campaigns, but doesn’t go around bragging about his faith. Remember Ted Haggard, Jim Swaggart, Jim Baker, Robert Tilton, Joe Combs, etc? They all confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior – heh. Confession doesn’t make you a Christan – your actions do. Does spewing hate make you a Christian? Just curios.
Fred Thompson is running because he wants a better world for his children. Because he saw the denigration of American Sovereignty while our soldiers where dying. Because he doesn’t want people to be able to use government or the Constitution to impose their views on others. Because he is tired of government reaching into the pockets of it’s hard working citizens to fund the life of others who will not work. He believes that states can decide what the people who live in them want better than a one-size-fits-all federal government.
My vote is for a man who will allow me to worship God as I chose, let me decide who to give my money to in charity, and to live free under a smaller government while protecting ALL of my rights and America’s Sovereignty. Millions have died fighting for just that. Go Fred Thompson.

Is Islamo Facism a threat? Sure… and one I fought for most of my military carreer even you folks sitting at home didn’t know it was going on most of the time.
Once again you speak in declarative statements about things which are judgements.
Do you know that we almost had a NUCLEAR war in 1983? That the Soviets almost launched? I’d tend to say it was a “bigger threat” than a bunch of militants blowing themselves up…
But, I won’t expect perspective, knowledge, or scholarship, from you… you are too busy making declarative statements of TRUTH!!! (which thankyou… makes my point for me… please continue, you do your side more harm, than good).
Romeo13 on January 19, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Times running out, so here is one for old times sake:
Fred’s lists of achievements are very, very, very very small. As a US Attorney for three years he choose to used the resources of the US government that was put at his disposal to chase toothless banjo playing moonshiners. Then he was a mole for Nixon, who though Fred was stupid. Then he posed for a photo with Reagan, acted in Hollywood, lobbied for a dictator, an abortion group and against asbestos victims. He gave legal advice to the legal team defending the Libyan terrorist that killed 270 people in Lockerbie enabling them to avoid justice for 11 years. He was a Senator for 8 years (about the same level of experience as Hillary) during which time his notable accomplishments were botching the campaign finance investigation of Clinton, helping draft CFR, voting to keep a perjurer and an obstructor of justice in the oval office, and voting time and again to support his buddy Spencer Abraham’s open borders agenda. Then he decided he was too lazy to continue to serve his country as a Senator and decided to take the money he raised for he reelection campaign and funnel it to his son for “consulting” that never took place.
Oh and Fred on immigration. Let’s make a deal on amnesty.
Fred on abortion

WTF I posted one of my patented “I hate Fred” posts complete with brutal links to the Fredmeister profession support for abortion and amnesty, but it doesn’t show up. I try to repost it, and the site won’t let me, as it detects it as already been posted, but it hasn’t. I knew H.A. was a Fredhead echo chamber, but this is ridiculous.
tommylotto on January 19, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Never mind. It showed up. What’s with the delay? There was no indication it was awaiting moderation approval.
tommylotto on January 19, 2008 at 11:43 AM
tommylotto,
Are you talking about this one?
When in doubt refresh.
Mcguyver on January 19, 2008 at 11:46 AM
No bans. Alternative? Ignore button. Then again, their antics are amusing. It’s like listening to a young child and their naive idealistic non-matured viewpoints,’cept not so innocently ignorant.
geckomon on January 19, 2008 at 11:46 AM
I did. I even logged on with a different computer. There must be a delay, because of the number of links included in the post.
tommylotto on January 19, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Thanks to you guys from SC. I just hope he hangs in there long enough that my state gets to vote for Fred! I will write him in anyway if I vote at all this year. If I don’t, it will be the first election (local, state or national) that I have missed in 30 plus years. Its that important. Thanks again South Carolina!

I believe it has to do with multiple links. I had the same thing happen days ago. No “awaiting moderation” message.
But I gotta say, “You’re so vain,” with that conspiracy theory. Good luck with your message of hate. (ahem, your words)
geckomon on January 19, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Ding ding ding! Winner!
Tennman on January 19, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Relax. The site has been a little screwy since the influx of new posters. I get locked up about once an hour. Usually worse in the morning, for some strange reason.
a capella on January 19, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Yeah… relax, tommy. Spammers are most welcome here, obviously.
wccawa on January 19, 2008 at 11:57 AM
There is no time out in posting?
These Huckster fans are getting rather tiring.
I am, praying for a strong showing for Fred!
Go FRED Go!

Thanks. I needed that! :)

Thank you to all FredHeads and those who voted in South Carolina! The eyes of America are upon you, and I will be standing with you come Feb.5th!

I have a theory that the changes to the blog script added an exeption that discounts query results from your on ip, session or cookie.
I noticed something different about the number of post in the last few days.

Oh, and on your “Fred on abortion” link? Good job in showing us you read Daily Kos for all your Fred information. Really helps your case:

I’m voting for Fred here in Fla…….Win-Lose-Draw
awesum on January 19, 2008 at 12:24 PM
Not if Huck was the last man standing would he get my vote. He’s another Bill Clinton in a RINO dress!
mhgoldwing on January 19, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I
I’m in FL as well and for me its FDT or NOBODY!!
Bicyea on January 19, 2008 at 12:36 PM
The Fred. That or Fredder, his Fredness, or El Frederino if you’re not into that whole brevity thing.
Buttercup on January 19, 2008 at 12:42 PM
i copy many sentiments here.
i will write Fred in.
i refuse to vote for a rino. even to defeat the left.
perhaps America needs four years of Hill/Obama to wake up.
palefaced on January 19, 2008 at 12:42 PM
correction, your not defeating the left voting for a rino, your empowering the right to go further left.
palefaced on January 19, 2008 at 12:43 PM
write fred in…if need be. sheesh. im done.
