This is starting just like the 2000 scenario. Then it was W that the RLC had chosen to get the nomination now it is Fred Thompson because God knows the last person the RLC wants as their nominee is a true conservative. Thompson will talk the conservative talk and then he will do just as W has done, such as keeping the borders wide open so the illegals can keep breaking the laws and the Drug Cartels can continue their operations. Sorry David this is not to disparage Duncan Hunter but you see it in the posts here, the liberal media have already started the mantra and most Conservatives allow the self-fulfilling prophecy to come true that any true conservative is unelectable. Only CFR member RINO’s need apply. Also note that most people here talk about nothing but polls so they are more interested in being manipulated to vote for a “winner” than looking at the issues and where the Candidate really stands. If all the liberal media polls told you that only Arlen Spectre could win the Presidency I’ll bet you a majority of Free Republic members would be singing the praises of Arlen Spectre. The American people are being blatantly manipulated with all these polls and the media loves their power to do it to them.

And you have sources to back up this ridiculous assertion?

What a load of BS. Rudy is the one that the ‘RLC wants as their nominee’. The establishment is dead set against Fred Thompson. Conservatives like me drafted Fred Thompson, because we wanted a viable conservative to vote for in this primary.

While it may be romantic to you to feel all persecuted and helpless at the mercy of the media, but Duncan’s position right now isn’t anyone else’s fault but Duncan Hunter’s.

If Duncan Hunter had been organized or possessed the qualities that people are looking for in a presidential candidate, he would have made a splash at Ames and would be where Mike Huckabee is now. He didn’t and he blew his only chance to get noticed.

You can blame the media all you want, but the facts are the facts.

It's deja vu all over again, baby. Been there done that, not voting for the lesser of the evils this time.
