Is that proper protocol? Call it whatever you like, but it's fact.

Hmmm, wonder if Jeri has her eye on 2024? I venture to say that she would be one helluva improvement over that female thing the demorats are putting up.

re: # 84

He is so ho-hum about campaigning. I think he should consider dropping out.

What do you want him to do, run around shooting off his mouth, saying nothing, day after day -- like the rest of them are doing?

Well we know Fred sure won’t (win) .... Don't bet the farm on that just yet. There's a long way to go before election day.

“Jeri Thompson actually called staffers at home to ask where they were and why they should be paid.”

In the spirit of fairness, I can’t really blame her....

They must know Hunter can’t win the nomination, regardless of what they claim publicly. So why this continuous sniping at Thompson? Jealousy?

1. Jealousy
2. Crabs in a Bucket
3. Femophobia
4. Un-employment
5. Desperation.

re: # 102

He said specifically, you (get) on the wife’s good side at the outset.

I always thought that was funny. That boy will go far. He has sense enough to know that wives have a lot of pull with their husbandsl and generals are not a damned bit different from lieutenants, in that respect. They may wear the bigger pants -- but wifey wears the prettiest ones. One forgets that at his peril.

re: # 108

. I would not vote for Rooty against Hillary.

Hell, I would vote for Al Capone before I'd vote for that bitch.

All I’m asking is for Thompson to give me ‘reasons’ of why I should vote for him. Where is his vision for America? What are his core values? I need more than two-second sound bites, or policy positions put out by his campaign staffers. I want to hear the man speak, with passion, enthusiasm, excitement. His lack of talk on the campaign trail, and his laid-back approach do not cut it for me. He comes across as the ‘reluctant candidate’, like his heart is not really into it. I am definitely not the only one saying this.

I can agree with post #69. I'm betting you never thought you'd toss your hat into the same ring as some of the nuttier posters on this thread. They have done more to alienate and cement attitudes against Duncan Hunter than the Hillary camp could ever have.

My personal favorite is trying to disparage someone, who as an employer, would have the gall to call their employees who weren't at work on a Friday during work hours and ask them why they weren't at work and ask them why they should get a paycheck when they're not at work. Astoundingly scary stuff there. Imagine living in a world where you have to show up to work, and put in 40 hours a week. Viva la France.

No, the Duncerts don’t take attendance. We know where we are.

Attendance of one isn't that difficult to count.

So in other words you need a "dog and pony show" from a candidate, symbolism over substance. We had just such a President not too long ago. Here's one of his better performances:

Post #82 was kinda witty.

Returning back to that which we agree: Let’s all go take down some RINO tootyfruity liberal flipfloppers.
