Rim Job officially endorses Fred Thompson.
Jim Robinson Endorses Fred Thompson
Posted on January 3rd, 2008
By Sean Hackbarth in Updates
Jim Robinson, founder of Free Republic has endorsed Fred. Here’s part of his endorsement:

With Fred, we know we’re getting a solid, no-nonsense, commonsense pro life and liberty conservative who will defend the nation, secure the borders, defend the constitution, appoint originalist judges, defend the Bush tax cuts, work to simplify and flatten the tax code, keep social security solvent while providing alternative private accounts, reduce government and spending, and work to return states issues to the states. Imagine that.

In fact, he comes closest to being the conservative leader I’ve been praying for all these years. I don’t know about you, but I think it would be great to be able to enthusiastically support and work for a true conservative candidate whose principles and convictions match so many of my own.

that should finish off Fred's campaign.

11. Gravel is a hero
He's a little old now, but a hero nontheless. He was a finer Senator than anyone in our current slate, bar none.

34. I didn't say anything negative about the good Senator
the reference was to backing a campaign that has about a one week shelf life left.

15. Losers of a feather flock together....
I guess it was his dazzling personality and charismatic speaking style that sucked him in, or was it something else?...

19. "Imagine that."
Yes, imagine that, freepers. The SAME old shitty promises that were made to you by Bush Jr. You swallowed it all then - so do it again! Maybe THIS time it'll work!

26. imagine someone "praying" for a fred thompson presidency
how loony is that? if there is a god, i am sure he or she is about as bored with fred thompson as the rest of us.

and let's assume there really is a republican god, the way the wacky repukes think there is. if he's got rimjob praying to him for fred thompson and chuck norris praying to him for huckabee and pat robertson praying to him for giuliani, how does he decide whose prayer to answer?

i think god should make rimjob, chuck norris and pat robertson duke it out to decide whose candidate wins. if nothing else, it would be cool to see norris knock rimjob's head clean off with a roundhouse kick and then watch ted nugent eat the remaining carcass.

38. Jesus H flippin' Christ. If he'd done this around when Fred first announced, okay, but NOW? When
everyone including Fred all but concedes his campaign is dead?

When the guy has basically done NOTHING but mumble meaningless platitudes and appear at gun stores in the South?

I guess I should know better than to ask whether he gives a whit about the credibility of his website (obviously not), but this even goes beyond anything I would have imagined.
