Thank you!
I don’t think Panderbee is a Kook as much as one of these compassionate conservative types who has changed his views on border security and immigration while running for president. He’s a shameless panderer.
He is the only candidate who identified as a compassionate conservative. I take that as an affront to all conservatives as it suggests all conservatives aren’t compassionate people.
I agree on both accounts.
Luntz did not follow up on how the ENTIRE focus group AGREED
HILLARY CLINTON IS A SOCIALIST.
The MSM has no grasp of the real world.
The GOP will not vote for Hilalry Clinton
or
a GOP candidate who has the IDENTICAL VIEWS AS Hillary Clinton.
You were the guy in the front row left hand side or have you already outed yourself...
Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!
Oh gee, the old cliche pictures are supposed to make me hate Rudy. So what if he dressed like that in some fundraiser as Mayor, big deal. At least he ain’t afraid to take on HilaryCare like some candidates.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Very true. And our weak knee'd pubbies and potus let them scalp our best hopes.
“Why does Fox always have that focus group turd, Luntz? Am I the only one he annoys and that could care less about his focus pocus?”
Do what I do. Don’t watch it. :)
I think for honest answers......Thompson and Hunter were the best.
Mitty and Rudy have too many “canned answers”. Especially Mitt.
Only candidate with a red tie this time around.
Hunter finally being interviewed.
If you meter net audience response, Hunter won.
Every freaking waking minute he will be thinking about our safety, our people, our country, primarily.
Rudy Giuliani DID NOT DENY he has the IDENTICAL views as hillary.
He was just shocked, shocked, shocked that a reporter would as that question. So shocked he never answered it.
I can vote for Duncan Hunter.
I know what they are attempting. I just believe if he wins in spite of these tactics he’ll have effectively made the case he can bypass any media limitations placed in his path for being a Republican running against Hillary. That should give people confidence if this occurs.
As for Huckabee, well, Huckabee is a social conservative Governor from the South. Under normal conditions this nomination would be a slam dunk for him because the GOP base loves all three of those items. the problem for Huckabee is that he is NOT Hayley Barbour, an actual conservative southern Governor. Huckabee is conservative on ONE issue. hit him long and hard on amnesty, growth of government and the war and it’ll drive him back out of contention.
BTW, I just visited stoptheaclu.com and they have the vid up of the big three” debating who’s a conservative. that’s all I’ve seen of the debate and I’m calling thompson the winner based on that/ Why? because someone finally came out and told a conservative audience item by item where rudy’s liberalism has taken him on the issues. I noticed the crowd quited as he read off that litany of liberalism and that Rudy couldn’t really counter it.
i don’t know how he’ll reflect in the polls after this debate. i don’t care about immediate impact. What I care is that for the first time the conservative audience had it defined for them that supporting Rudy doesn’t just mean you get a 9-11 “hero” and tolerate his pro choice positions. It’s much more then that. fred needs to read their record again. that’s all he has to do really. keep reading these people’s records to the audience over and over again.
