Who are you trying to snow? The Guiliani supporters are completely transparent in their attempts to post negatively about Fred Thompson. His "possible" entrance has some of them worried sick. So what? They're so transparent that their posting theories of sheer lunacy. My favorite makes the claim that Fred is shilling for McCain -- trying to stop Guiliani's momentum --- LOL. Now ask yourself, how much sense does it make for Fred Thompson to enter a grueling campaign that will require him to spend months on the road away from his young family, all in the effort to help McCain? Voter support and delegates cannot be transferred like bank funds. No, dirtboy, it's not the Guiliani supporters who are spreading the hate and discontent. It's the same ole third party advocates and unappeasable purists. The folks that despise Mitt too, and some even think Hunter isn't good enough on the issues. I'll grant the Guliani supporters another thing --- scant few of them are threatening to stay home if someone else wins the nomination.

Can you please point me to some threads where Thompson is getting attacked from the right? I genuinely want to go to them and defend him.

So having just said how the Rudy boosters are trying to sandbag Fred, you claim they are NOT spreading the hate and discontent, because they are so bad at it? Sheez....some of these same folks were the ones spreading outright lies and misconceptions about Hunter, who is a damn good man whether or not you think he can win.

What makes you think they won't do the same to Fred? If anything, the Rudy camp is consistent with their depravity. They will find molehills and make mountains of them. And create new molehills if actual ones are in short supply.

Those folks are a small minority. Most, however, see Rudy's potential nomination as a train wreck waiting to happen - on many levels. And their concerns are well-justified. And most would find common ground with Fred that they simply would be unable to find with someone as far left as Rudy.

Nah, they'll just try and hamstring the one guy who could probably pull the entire party together and who also has enough charisma and name recognition to carry over otherwise indifferent voters - all to push a guy who is at the far left of the party and who would probably split the GOP in half if nominated. So tell me - who is doing more damage to the party?
