They appear to have their own set of trolls and shills to blow a smoke screen across their activities.
Since when does this forum call Schlafly a tinfoilnutter?
Just remember that there are spooks all over this board who's job it is to discredit legitimate discussion in order to sow discord, doubt, and cause division over subjects which easily unify even those with differing political inclinations.
Makes you kind of wonder what the CFR thinks about Hillary. They were big on Bill....
I wholeheartedly disagree. Ross Perot and Tom Tancredo have been kept out of the White House by their own shortcomings and not some CFR "vetting" process.
As for Perot, I don't believe Perot actually wanted to be president. He seemed to have a good shot at the office before he quit in the summer of 1992. By election day, he had been discredited by his own antics.
Before Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo) can be considered a serious candidate for the White House, he needs to first enter the big leagues--win a Senate seat, a governor's chair, or a Cabinet position. It's tough to run for president from the House--as Jack Kemp, Bob Dornan, and Dick Gebhardt, and others have learned.
The CFR may be an influential think tank that leans liberal, but it's not all-powerful. These days, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and other such think tanks are giving it a run for its money.
