"Don’t break eye contact! Don’t break eye contact!"

That's right! I just might git the drop on 'em!! You know, political principle over political expediency and stuff like that...

Well, I guess that’s why I began to crave some excitement, but it may have been out of place. We shall see. Where do I find the “close encounter” you experienced with the host so’s I can examine the boundaries for any new parameters???

Liberals are worse than a horror movie, frankly.

There are no published ground rules, best I can tell. So we’ll just have to see where this goes.

I understand, I just thought there might be a thread record of the encounter that I could peruse and learn from. Whatever...

There was, but it was less than clear. Basically said don’t piss on Fred or Fredheads. Open to interpretation, I reckon.

Heck, a new term is being added to the Freeper Dictionary, it's To Pissant.
Definition: To attack other candidates so much, it turns people off to your candidate.
Example: Pissant, pissanted on Fred Thompson threads so much that people didn't even want to think about Hunter because they associate him with Pissant.

Does that mean we can't try to get their goat at all??? Shoot! That just about squelches alla the danged fun if ya can't even poke an occasional stick at 'em!!!

This is especially true when they begin to convince themselves that Fred's victory is on automatic pilot and totally inevitable and that the rest of us should just shut-up and bow down!

We got way too much of that stuff with the Schwartzenegger celibrity swooners during CA's historic Recall election!!! That end result sucks canal water BIGTIME!!!

Hey, I don’t make the rules round here. If I did, there would be a daily candidates debate thread with a warning label attached to not enter unless you are willing to go bare knuckled toe to toe.

Your euphemism for lies and smears and half-truths (also lies).

If they exist, you can name them. And not if they do not.
