Nope... no pay stubs I can fax you or anything.

Just comments, and posts... I mean the Hunter people openly posted about having 'official representatives' here, which is ok when they are just promoting Hunter.

Too many of them just post dozens of threads a day, hit pieces on Rudy with him that dress, or all the anti-gun, anti-abortion baggage that of course is his weakest aspects.

To be sure, he should be challenged on those points, and in no way would I say people should 'suck it up' and ignore them.

I just keep noticing the same names, playing the same games... there are inferences, and then you have common sense.

No doubt there are libs on here too, passing out the poison pills (for someone reason people think everyone posting on here are conservatives... just because thats how it started out years ago)

Anyway, I could care less if Rudy gets the nod, hell I'd vote for McStain in the general if somehow he got the nod in the primary, and enthusiastically vote for the rest of the field (though I really wish Santorum would get the VP call for one of 'em).

But my biggest concern is the scorched earth, making candidates unacceptable, instead of making yours more attractive... is going to lead to a 3rd party candidate and President Hillary Clinton. And I see the same people doing it time and time again.

I posted a vanity about it, asking how others felt, if they cared or if I was overreacting and it was ZOTTED within 30 seconds and removed. Not sure why, had 250 views in those 30s and 10 replies. Sure most complained about spelling or some other nonsense, but I really don't get the visceral reaction... unless I hit a bit too close to home.

Most of the posters putting these items up items have been posting here much longer than you or I, so I find it highly unlikely that they're working for a candidate. I don't think anyone's accused Areafiftyone of being on Mayor Giuliani's payroll for posting all the good things Rudy has done.

However, when judging who is best for this country, the facts need to be known. I think the cross-dressing pictures are overdone. But knowing where Mayor Giuliani stands on the 2nd Amendment, Roe vs. Wade, and McCain Feingold is pretty relevant to the core cause of this website:

We'll worry about Hillary when we get there.

Personally I have been very open about the fact that if a liberal/liar like Rudy/Romney get nominated I will vote for some third option. I don't vote for liberals regardless of party, and Romney is such a fraud it's disgusting.

If you don't like it -- well, I don't care. You're welcome to vote for Hillary if you so desire -- that's your business. But I will continue to promote my view and publicize the good, bad, and ugly about each candidate.

Didn't you read any of the threads that JimRob posted on the Rudy topic? It was pretty clear that he doesn't want Rudy leading the party.

This is the primary season and its the time for presenting the facts about the candidates record and position on the issues.
