It’s very interesting how Fred Thompson supporters have to keep making excuses for Fred’s record while trying to convince us we shouldn’t support a principled, consistent conservative like Duncan Hunter because of polls.
In case you have not noticed, Duncan Hunter’s supporters care alot about principles. We are supporting Duncan Hunter because he is a consistent and principled candidate.
As far as I am concerned, this is a do or die election for the Republican party. Either they get it right and support a principled candidate who can show the country a consistent record, or the party goes a different route, nominating someone without a consistent record of personal and public integrity. In that 2nd case, we get Hil for sure, and the party loses its base- In other words, dies.
It makes no sense that you have directed this at me. I have made no excuses for Fred's record and have never said he was perfect. Further it is supremely foolish and arrogant for you to imply that Duncan Hunter supporters care more about principles than do Fred Thompson supporters. Please consider that for some people one of their guiding principles is to live in the world as it is. And in the world of today, Duncan Hunter is consistently polling well below 5% after months of campaigning. Perhaps you think that copping a giant nasty attitude will be sufficient to turn this reality around but I'm not betting on it.
Uh huh, excuses, right...
