you mean whistling past the graveyard
And at this rate, he'll soon be at Pat Buchanan numbers.
All the Clintons need are just enough "real" conservatives to pull them over the finish line.
He dithered it away so much that he has all the attention, while the other Republicans are out millions or, in McCain's case, just plain out.
If Fred has peaked, when is Ron going to, well, START climbing?
Well the MSM has had six months to do their research on Fred. I guess now we will see what those bastards have. Fred WILL be our next president and he ain’t takin’no crap from libs.
“Well, I’ll be darned. He’s actually going to do it.”
LOL, AFTER the debate.
...and leaving him right where he is, at .5%.
Yeah, because SEVEN remaining debates (already scheduled) shows he's lazy and afraid whereas going to the EIGHTH would mean he's tough and hard-working.
Sour grapes alright, Loser Supporter. Why didn’t you get your man Duncan to run a REAL CAMPAIGN? Oh, yeah—that would have cost him some campaign dollars. And, of course, Duncan’s not spending, he’s just collecting. Not collecting very much, but, still, he’s just collecting.
They’re really vexed by Fred’s timing, aren’t they?
Duncan Hunter, a great conservative, wants to run the country but proves every day he’s not ready to run a first class political campaign.
“More and more people are taking a look at Duncan Hunter.”
Duncan Hunter says illegal aliens have to go home.
Fred Thompsons says we must work out a deal to give illegal aliens aspirations of citizenship.
BIG difference, that’s why.
Misrepresentation doesn't help your cause. You know full well that you're pulling that away from it's context which says that they have to go to "the end of the line", so to speak. The only fundamental difference here is that some folks want the current illegals to go home and never be able to come back, whereas others want them to go home and go through the proper channels.
Additionally, Fred is one of those who have promoted the concept of self-deportation, to much ridicule from "round 'em up" crowd, but events in Arizona show that it works -- enforce the laws and they'll go home on their own.
You’re kidding yourself.
Duncan Hunter has NEVER said that we must differentiate between the kind of people that we have here and that we have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship.
Fred has. He’s also said:
I dont believe most Americans are as concerned about the 12 million that are here as they are about the next 12 million after that.
WRONG. and,
Prove you can secure the border and then sit down and work out the rest of it.
No Fred, no deals, no working it out the rest of it, NO AMNESTY. It’s really quite simple...
“As for the 12 million illegal immigrants already in the nation, Hunter told the crowd, “They have to go home.”
Period.
What I don't get is why the Mittwits, especially, seem to want to debate Thompson -- Thompson will wipe the floor with the faker from Massachusetts.

You mean like Duncan Hunter is behind?
WRONG.
He's absolutely right. Note that he's not saying the 12 million here aren't a problem -- he's saying that the bigger problem is that there's nothing stopping another 12 million from coming in, or another 12 million after that. Bailing water out of a leaking boat doesn't do any good if you don't fix the hole. It's a matter of priorities. Everything can't be "priority #1" or nothing gets done.
Take care of priority #1, and then you can deal with the lower priority issues. Thompson has urged enforcing existing laws, which will cause illegals to self-deport when they are unable to find work. This is exactly what's happening in Arizona right now.
