>> Tancredo has a shot at winning? Ohhhh, Fred is a conservative. With a shot at winning.

Thompson is the person I had in mind.

>> Those are the only two conservative candidates I know of and I strongly question that Thompson is equally conservative to Hunter.

I’ve yet to find a perfect candidate in this race - as Christ has not yet declared his candidacy. I’ve had policy disagreements with most, if not all, candidates ... but Thompson strikes me as the candidate with the best blend of traditional conservatism and actual electability.

I’ve seen little appreciable policy difference between Thompson and Hunter, and a huge difference in popularity. Whatever minor disparities may exist can certainly be overcome with a glance at the odds of victory.

I think it’s silly for the Thompson/Hunter supporters to be attacking each other. They are our 2 top candidates running so let’s stop the hate. We get enough of that from the looney libs. When you attack the “other” candidate, that’s exactly who you sound like. Agree to disagree, just focus on the strong/weak points of the candidate and leave the personal attacks to the commies.

Fair enough. The only three I would consider to be conservatives are Thompson, Hunter and Tancredo. Maybe Brownback but I don’t know too much about him.

Free trade and "path to citizenship" are two that come to mind.
