The phony conservatives are expending a lot of time and effort dissing a great conservative like Hunter.
***Yes, It feels like FR has been infiltrated, the CINOs are past the wire. I’ve been on a few threads where I’ve basically been saying that if Hunter really is just a 1%er, why waste time on him? I always thought Tommy Thompson was a was 1%er and there were even times when his numbers beat Hunter, but I never bothered to try to knock him down.
This shows 2 things: 1) the folks doing the knock-down are faux conservatives, and in better days on Free Republic, JimRob would have handed them their hats; and 2) that Hunter really is above 1% but the MSM is torquing the polls so that he doesn’t show up. This has happened in the past — nearly every pre-primary poll has been shown to be MSM biased to the point of being bogus.
What can we do about this? I’ve been pushing unconventional strategies from the very beginning, such as naming a VP candidate who could bring name recognition (like Rice, Coulter, Dobson). I brought in Sam as a Freeper, Pissant brought in Duncan Hunter. If this is the true state of conservatism today, I mourn for America as a nation.
I’ve been watching the Hunter groups in both Myspace and Facebook and Hunter has been growing in both. At Facebook his numbers are rising despite the fact that they won’t list him as a presidential candidate.
Also interesting is the fact that the members of both those groups are primarily young voters who are sick of the status quo from both parties.
AMEN!
