From the bastion of progressivism.

Of course some Republicans hold similar opinions.

A few people advising this administration, a small number of people called the neoconservative hijacked our foreign policy
Ron Paul

Moonbats like this guy use "neocon" as a derogatory label.

In like spirit, we should call them "neoprogs."

“Neocon” is code for “Jewish Conservative Republican”.

"I think the money boys and the neocons have a candidate, and it isn't Fred Thompson, Rudy, John McCain or Ron Paul. In their view, it is time for a president in uniform."

But they're afraid to even mention the candidate who was once in uniform and was more recently serving as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

“John McCain has embarrassed himself by kissing up to the demagogues on the Christian right...”

No, he embarrassed himself by being a RINO with anger management issues.

I don’t think any amount of drugs or shock therapy will cure this idiot...straight to the pillow lined dungeon is the gentlest treatment I can think of.

...The Congress will do nothing to punish the administration for lying us into war, taping our phones, humiliating us by use of secret prisons and torture and on and on.

I hate it when this happens. It's hard to get the adhesive off the handset. It's all part of the humiliation and torture.

Might as well be - he makes as much sense as one!

John McCain has embarrassed himself by kissing up to the demagogues on the Christian right and in so doing has traded his integrity and wide appeal for support from the lunatic fringe.

Huh? What John McCain is he talking about? I stopped right there....

My personal experience with this fellow is that he is an extraordinary jerk when he doesn’t have to be. In thirty plus years of dealing with people in a particular situation, this guy stands out above the rest for his nastiness on more than one occasion. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt at least once because everyone has days that we are not as nice as we should be. The idea that this fellow is a pacifist is a joke. He is confrontational and mean-spirited in situations that don’t call for it.

Note the similarities.

Ed Garvey

My opponents called for more war, more torture, more secret prisons.
Ron Paul

The first day that I’m president I will close Guantanamo which I think is a national embarrassment. I will stop the practice of the illegal spying on the American people, which the President engaged in. No more secret prisons, no more torture or condoning torture

John Edwards

“Undeclared Fred Thompson is about as attractive as our Tommy”

WTH?

Well, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. =)

Fred Thompson ‘08!

Yup. Twenty six years of selfless service to his country; righting the wrongs of the Clinton regime; supplying the armed services with what they need to keep us free and strong; consistent Conservative with a sterling record to prove it, Duncan Hunter.

The man they are trying to keep a secret because he is the antithesis of the globalist one worlder commies taking over the country; the man with more qualifications in his quiver for CIC than any other candidate running, DUNCAN HUNTER. :)
