We are holding Rudy and Mitt to the fire about their past on abortion. Lets not forget Fred Thompson.
Abortions should be legal in all circumstances as long as the procedure is completed within the first trimester of the pregnancy. Link
A very strong statement from Fred Thompson when he was running for congress.
Rachel, good points, and it goes farther than that. Hunter failed to capitalize on the Internet, instead thinking that the MSM was going to give him some time. When he finally created his website, it looked like something out of the 80s. There were no links to donate, no bumper stickers, the famous quotation mark grammar error etc.
Plus he declared way too early. How can someone declare their candidacy for the Presidency when the mid-terms weren't even done yet? He should have simply waited until April or May and the grassroots would have responded.
And finally, the man has been in Congress for 26 years. He couldn't have at least ran for CA Governor or challenged Feinstein or Boxer for the Senate? If he had he would have likely won.
I will support the candidate who is most committed to conservative beliefs. Is that hard to understand? If Fred Thompson is that candidate, I will support him.
I have to go. I’ll be back later.
Look; I agree that the idea of there being a rule where you can’t criticize a candidate is pretty crappy. But if you want to criticize Fred Thompson, abortion isn’t the issue to point at.
Instead, we can be talking about trade policy. Duncan Hunter is against having American jobs go overseas so that China can be wealthy enough to buy submarines. And on illegal immigration, Fred Thompson has supported increases in foreign farm workers and increases in US visas, which cost American workers, especially highly skilled and educated Americans, their jobs.
On abortion, though; I’m sorry to say but I think Thompson’s pretty solid.
Bull. Both Tancredo and Paul have better records than Hunter. Paul also served in the military. Tancredo owns the illegal immigration issue.
And therein lies Hunter's problem. Both Tancredo & Paul are going take away conservative/libertarian votes away from him in the primaries. The best move Hunter should do is quit and join the Fred team and hope he gets picked as VP or Secretary of Defense. Remember he's not running for Congress again.
Wise tactical retreat. LOL
BS!
He is the most "under rated, under MSM promoted, formidable candidate out there.
However since when he does get a chance to show himself, he is what a POTUS should be and is laid back and lets others speak their mind, for this he is considered naive?
When he can speak he does make sense and is impressive.
JMO.
Not while Daniel James Barnett is in the race
A good man, a very good man...but not a President IMO.
But if he were nominated, I would actively support him, which is more than a certain 'other' one here would say...and most likely, wouldn't do.
Yeah, you're Mommy's calling.
Who says we'll be waiting for you?
Some of us have been here a long time and we've seen plenty of folks like you come...and mostly, go.
Don’t sugar coat it EEE... :)
Case closed.
Another newbie, Dummie disruptor, pretending to support unelectable Hunter in order to undermine Fearsome Fred!
So then why do the high and mighty fredbots spam Duncan Hunter threads with “he’s unelectable”, “he should be Freds VP”, and the classic “Duncan Who”? Could it be because they are trying to prop up their less than stellar conservative?
I think Fred is not only BETTER, but he will be a MORE EFFECTIVE CONSERVATIVE LEADER, that Hunter would be even if elected.
Pointing out lack of electability is not like trying to drive a wedge between you and you guy with dubious “news.”
Fred Thompson has a 100 percent pro-life voting record and has been endorsed by Right To Life.
Somehow, the effort against abortion will probably be more effective with “Gee, let’s just let the people of each state CHOOSE what kind of laws they want, and get the federal government out of it,” than with “abortion is murder, you’re all going to hell!”
Again, HE THINKS OR DID THINK THAT ABORTION SHOULD REMAIN LEGAL IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY.
Ever hear of Federalism?
“Bull. Both Tancredo and Paul have better records than Hunter.”
Tancredo is good, but he’s not better than Hunter.
Ron Paul? LOL.
“Yeah, you’re Mommy’s calling.”
Or maybe I have a life and I can’t sit around on the computer all day.
