No, I don’t think anyone should post misinformation or baseless attacks on anyone. I read the first 50 posts to this thread and left it because it was boring. I only came back later when I saw the thread was still active and read more.
In my opinion, Rob21 was showing poor judgement in his characterization of Thompson’s abortion stance. I believe Thompson when he says he is pro life. But I also question all the posters who kept going round and round with him on the same stupid comments. Just because one is making a fool of himself doesn’t mean everyone else has to rise up and match him. Both sides in that ongoing arguement lost as far as I am concerned.
I am open to voting for Thompson in the general but will support Hunter in the primaries. Many people support both, but some really do seem to have a serious problem with Hunter. And I do have unanswered doubts about Thompson. I am not going to fall all over someone until I hear why he wants to be president. Fielding softball questions from a now fawning press isn’t the same as debating the other candidates.
I think that’s a pretty fair assessment of the thread.
I don’t really see many Thompson supporters that have a big problem with Duncan Hunter. I see people being provoked into attacking by others, which is admittedly childish on both sides.
I’d much prefer it if we could have a truce on the subject. The behavior of some, however, seems to be that they are attempting to convert people away from Fred Thompson threads by posting nastiness about him on his own threads. I don’t think that really wins any converts and only starts flame wars. If that weren’t going on, I’m confident that the overwhelming majority of Fred Thompson supporters would never utter another bad word about Duncan Hunter.
