Poll question: 1st Annual Best Freeper Reaction to Fred Thompson Dropping Out Poll
Yes, it's the "First Annual Best Freeper Reaction to Fred Thompson Dropping Out Poll"

Pick your favorite reaction to the news that Fred Thompson still knows enough about reality to know that he won't be the nominee. This news caused a freakish meltdown in Freeperville (as if they ever have another kind of reaction). Not being a Freep voyeur, I didn't even realize they were so ga-ga for grampa. (Thanks to Blue Bear for keeping an eye on 'em).

They seem unhappy now, but I'm sure they'll end up loving whoever the Republicans nominate. Still, the news of Fred's demise managed to inspire quite a few rhetorical gems. Vote for your favorite here.

1. Interesting new acronym on Freep, too: Apparently I'm a CCID
"RINO’s and CCID’s (Communist Calling Itself Democrat)"

Please note that I'm not a he; I'm an 'it'.

5. Apparently it's popular. But how can you not love the "tin foil" conspiracy theory?
Yes, there's a vast conspiracy out to defeat knee-jerk idiot conservatives at the polls. It's called "the voting public."

32. And speaking Spanish!! Quel Horreur!!!
In the last week, I have heard two different people from two widely varied economic groups (one rich, urban and white, the other poor, rural and white) tell me that "those illegal immigrants don't WANT to learn English."

I wanted to ask them, "Did you poll all 12 million of them yourself? Individually? In Spanish?".

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Like Americans are so high and mighty that we can't lower ourselves to learning other languages, unlike everybody in Europe, for example.

You know what it is? When someone speaks to them in Spanish they feel ignert, and they don't like things that make them feel ignert, like PBS, Al Gore, and someone asking them "Mas cafe?" :P

10. Obviously a Plant,
an Agent Provocateur has been busy over there. No Freeper is astute enough to recognize this:

"Today marks the end of an era and the beginning of the end for the Republican Party of Reagan."

13. Someone needs to remind the Freepers that Alan Keyes is still in the race.
I said "someone", and I meant "someone else besides me", because I'm not going there.

16. My favorites:
"Unfortunately, we live in a microwave world and Fred Thompson is slow cook barbecue."

"This Presidential race is over before it ever began. The "Stupid Party" dug its own grave."



"Who does Rush want me to vote for now? I am a complete Ditto Head."

21. And a Romney Patroit steps in to restore order:
"Romney is clearly the optimal choice at this point. The end of a campaign is always painful for supporters. Folks have to assimilate and process the new configuration."

25. What a great and funny post...thanks for the humor...it's well needed here.
I loved the "good look to you" and the hysterical suggestion of loading up on ammo...but I voted for the "end of the Reagan era". OHHHH, if only it could be so. I p*ss on Reagan's grave.


:kick: and recommend

33. The Dream-Like Delusion
of the 'just beginning to catch on' line appeals to me in some way I can hardly define. Perhaps it's the total divorce from reality that gives me hope that the Republicans are really and truly d-o-n-e.

43. There should be a poll entry for references to 'third party'.
When Hunter dropped out, some of his fans said they'd reluctantly settle for Thompson, but others brooded darkly about voting for a third-party candidate.

We should encourage their belief that the only true conservative on the ballot is the nominee of the Constitution Party or some such. After the Nader follies, it's only fair that the Republican candidate lose some crucial votes from purists who stomp off in disgust and vote for a hopeless minor-party candidate. I mean, we're owed one.

44. #35: "Who does Rush want me to vote for now? I am a complete Ditto Head."




or perhaps #33 (by pillut48 (CJ in TX -- Soccer Mom and proud Rush Conservative!):

"I am in tears here. What will happen to my country now?!" ....







But #46 (by by Redbob - WWJBD: "What would Jack Bauer do?") might actually be on to something:

"Oh crap!
What a bunch of losers that leaves us with!"
