FWIW, went to the Pirece County GOP picnic the other night. Even met a couple of freepers there. But there was a large contingent of non-republicans there supporting Ron Paul. Not sure who these clowns were, mostly (not all)looked like a reefer smoking slackers. But there was about 40 of them. They won the informal straw poll for their peacenik hero. Time to step on their throats.
Thanks for that, pissant. I think peacenik Paul has about as much chance of becoming president as Pat Paulsen did, he even kind of reminds me of Paulsen.
Libertarians. We have a large tribe of them in the West Sound. They screw up more elections than King County. Ask Slade Gorton and Rick White about their influence.
Still, I would have liked to have been there, if only to see just how far out of touch the Pierce County GOP has become.
I hope Hunter does a good job. He may not have a large amount of name recognition there, but if the people get to know him and how he stands on issues such as the war, border, China, guns, abortion, and family values, I’m sure they will love him.
That sucks about all the Ron Paul people at the picnic. I’ll tell you something interesting. I was curious what Muslims talk about on their message boards. I noticed some of the Muslims liked Ron Paul or Democrats. One liked Guiliani, and a radical one claimed that is because Rudy would send a lot of Americans over to fight and, “Muslims love to kill kuffar on our land”. (sick isn’t it?) We need a guy like Hunter who will be tough on them, not a guy who will pull out, and let them think they won.
There are some Paul supporters who are decent people and get lost in the symbolic proffers to Constitutional Democracy and Federalism. There are also a great deal of RP supporters who are just plain Bat-$h!t crazy twoofers.
He isn’t a bad guy he just hasn’t a clue as to the threat Islam poses to Western Civilization. When you think about it, why would he? He much like Islam lives in the fantasy-world of some by-gone era.
You have to give RP some credit he does have some very good positions on some issues, but I agree, it’s time to take the gloves off.
I heard Tancredo on Fox speaking about illegal immigration and he said he has noticed all the other candidates must be listening to him because essentially they have taken his message on immigration.
Well that’s great except he conveniently omitted Duncan Hunter in his thought process. I don’t think anyone who is informed would consider him to be anything other than a Hunter apprentice. Well before anyone even announced or was even thinking of the 08 election, I started out with Tancredo/Watts. I found out Tancredo said he would not seek another term, that he would serve and leave. He can spin all he wants and arrogantly proclaim it was because he was needed to oppose illegal immigration, but in the end, for me, he was just one more whose word I could not trust.
It doesn’t matter what you say, if your word doesn’t mean anything. Fred went into my Tancredo pile of candidates who said one thing and the truth turned out to be something very different.
Rudy and Romney, they belong in the pile, and you’re never sure why they belong there, but you just know deep inside they are both as fake as Hollywood sweater puppies. Damn I ramble, what I meant to say was, “GO HUNTER!”. Heh :)
