Exactly. It’s kind of scary how much the Fred supporters are acting like the old Rudybots. They are defending his liberalism by claiming that he “can beat Hillary” and that he “has high poll numbers” and he’s “electable”. Never mind his weak record on immigration, his support of CFR, and his NO vote when it comes to Bill Clinton’s perjury.
He said, "How can you continue to support Hunter, as he has no real chance of winning the Primary and certainly NONE of beating whomever the dims put forth?"
I said, "Well, first, Duncan has absolutely NO liberal votes in Congress, has the backing of all of the conservative groups to which I either belong or have great admiration of; secondly, he'll have a pristine past which will be examined by the Hillary crowd to the hilt; and lastly Duncan IS an American Hero, he doesn;t merely PLAY one in the movies and on TV."
Finally nice to see someone not rolled into the “Fred Thompson will save us” line. His years in the Senate make his conservatism automatically suspect to me, but all I hear is “he looks/sounds good on television.” Well, that doesn’t qualify him to make the heart-wrenching strategic decisions necessary to guide this war toward victory or execute the moves necessary to quell the enemies of the United States entrenched in the Congress. I honestly haven’t looked seriously at Fred Thompson and do not plan to do so until and unless he enters the race. I also don’t see any candidates who really exude the fortitude that Bush displays against our enemies abroad every day. But I increasingly support Mike Huckabee and think that he can and will grow into the role.
Like hell. Fred is from the center of the GOP and has plenty of conservative positions.
Never mind his weak record on immigration,
His voting record against illegal immigration is fairly strong, and he's correct in pushing for border security first.
his support of CFR,
Funny, Duncan Hunter voted for the 527 bill, but I don't see you making a big deal out of that.
and his NO vote when it comes to Bill Clinton’s perjury.
For which Fred wrote a lengthy and substantive justification, after which I tended to agree with him - that article of impeachment was flawed. Fred did vote for the obstruction article.
You're not even very good at Fred-bashing.
