Interesting. I got here in time to see Thompson make that movement one time— when Chrissy, was braying like a mule about Thompson’s “feels just like home.” I took it to signify irritation with that little snot, Chrissy.
Yawn! And we hear from airborne...whose posts are nothing but scintillating and profound. LOL!
—you are RIGHT! - I only saw him answer ONE question........and dang if I didn’t pause and say to myself who IS that good looking guy? only to go well “duh” ... THAT’S Duncan Hunter. I saw some of Fred.....he was looking good and I liked his comeback to the FPL - “Christopher, that’s your opinion.” -as usual Rudy and Romney left me cold and McCain caused me to wince painfully.
I think it’s more likely that 80% of Ron Paul supporters don’t have jobs, and have the time to spam internet polls.

Umm - 96 % of viewers of CNBC are liberals and kooks!!
It is an athletic analogy, sometimes a player will impose his presence on the field or court without showing up in the headlines or the stat sheet. Fred did not affect Romney or Giuliani much, but he sure marginalized the rest of field. Before Thompson appeared, I am not sure that either Rudy or Mitt did much to marginalize the other candidates.
KABAR! with all the time and energy spent on the Sunday Morning threads about how the MSM creates the news- i wold hope you would know better..... He isn't getting traction because the DC and MSM elites cannot LET him "get traction" THEY ALL KNOW that he is in line with about 60-70% of what Americans believe and want. and not because he claims it during election time....but because his record proves it..... He and Tancredo are the only 2 that would actually show a real difference between the right and the left..... 2/3 of Dem voters think their leadership is too liberal, and 2/3 of Republican voters think their leadership is too liberal.....but the MSM won't tell you this.....
You may not know it but you just summarized his entire nature.
White nationalists? For Paul??
And are there even such a thing as “white nationalists”?
There are every other group, but whites have, in this poster’s opinion, been well and truly beaten into submission.
Really. White racism is dead. Like a doornail.
The white majority in America, is the only reason we’re so racially tolerant.
If/when a “minority” group gains a majority, all that tolerance and multiculturalism stuff comes to a screeching halt.
Seriously.
That is exactly how I took it. Annoyance at the little snot. He called him “Christopher” earlier.
Absolute show of disdain to the partisan hack by Fred.
Agreed.
I'll take your bet. He'll run on the LP ticket. If he doesn't than it just proves what somebody else said here a couple of days ago...maybe he is doing all of this to drive up his appearance and lecture fees after retirement and get a sweeter advance on his book deal.
Factually incorrect. She never trashed either Hunter or Huckabee. Here tag line shows she is a Hunter supporter. Try actually following the thread instead of getting hysteric because your boy was criticized.
Dr. Keyes comes across as a man with high blood pressure, but if you listen to him, he makes good sense. I rank him intellectually on a par with Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and Jerome Corsi.
My father actually voted for Pat Paulson once. He told me he thought Paulson made more sense than the serious candidates.
One of my favorite Pat Paulson bits was during one of his “campaign speeches” where he said if he were elected President, he would stamp out the number one cause of forest fires — trees! He said he never saw a forest fire without trees. It was funny.
Great! We have a bet. I bet that Paul doesn’t run as third party/independent. You say he will. Mark it!
I haven’t seen this debate yet ...
But I got the feeling in previous debates that it was David vs. Goliath 1 and Goliath 2. Liberal-Giuliani, wishy-washy Romney, and a bunch of tiny little conservatives trying to make a name for themselves by sniping at the leaders.
I’m hoping that Thompson can be the authoritative voice of conservatism - and be a conservative Goliath to take down the other two.

Yes, there are.
Look up “Hal Turner” for one. Stormfront.org is full of them.
The white racists still exist.
