I would hope that they could see through McAmnesty. They must not have much of an illegal problem after all... Still would not mind a Thompson/Romney, Romney/Thompson ticket. Better than McCain. I had a nightmare that McCain won the nomination and picked Harry Reid as his running mate. A sign of "bipartisanship". I woke up in tears!! I have to say I was very disapointed with SC.

We've got Clinton-lite, Shamnest McKennedy, and Mitt. If Fred goes, there's no real choice for conservatives. As much as I hate to see it happen, maybe we need four years of Hitlery to get the GOP back on track. I'm not voting for any RINO, period. Come the general, I may just write Fred in, and be done with the GOP, cause it looks like they've all gone to the dark side. The party is basically doomed.
