Hunter second? What a waste! Don't these rubes know Hunter can't win?
This is your first tour at FR, huh?
Officially,
No.
I'll leave it at that.
you know full well, that the concern regarding Hunter - is his appeal in the general election, whether its broad enough to attract the votes from the middle, needed to win.
the republican base cannot elect a president on its own.
That .gif is mesmerizing. I think I'm in love.
You Rudy hacks are so friggin' obvious.
Agreed.
It IS surprising.
See People......there is Hope for Duncan..... ;-)
Hello?
Funny, those of us who are not part of the Rudy cult of personality have the same general election concerns about Rudy.
Except that ours are based on GOP electoral history over the last 30 years.
What's to be afraid of? Rudy supporters would have no trouble supporting Hunter if it came to the General.
The "true conservatives"© are the ones in need of a stress pill and some political maturity.
Might just be you.
I see an obscene amount of threads devoted to nothing but bashing Rudy.
whats that? A "rudy hack"? Is that like a "bushbot"? yea, I want to win the WOT, don't you?
I'll send out a dedication to you. In Living Color's Cult of Personality.
Hunter has been on national News programs for the past several years and as the past chairman of the armed services comm.
I have read of so many FReepers who brag they don't watch the news, etc. perhaps why they haven't seen him on the news.
Ah, so if we don't want Rudy, we want to lose the WOT.
You guys are lamer than a Paris Hilton porn video.
what is that supposed to mean?
I think I heard they were under a tornado watch. That will keep a few at home considering all that happened today.
Someone called "a social liberal" who did not campaign for this in a conservative Soutern state coming in on top anyway...I would call that quite a victory. One most here didn't anticipated no matter which "side" you are on. Yet Hunter fans are calling this a big victory for him. Isn't he the one with the supposed "fit" with the ideology and priorities of S.C.?
