I’m in it for the long haul, too. I am not a fair weather supporter. I don’t take polls to see what I should do and I don’t follow polls to know who I should support. I am dismayed at the number of people who do base their decisions on polls. To me, that is such a moderate/liberal thing to do.

What a night! I’m listening to Bill Cunningham, and there were THREE pro-Duncan Hunter calls.

We grass roots folks love Duncan Hunter. We killed the amnesty bill, and we can get Duncan Hunter elected!!!!

Cunningham said he was going to have Hunter on his show either next week or the week after.

It, for me, goes beyond the mere “fair weather” support for candidates. What really perplexes me is the “fair weather” friends of conservative beliefs, issues and core principles.

Are they so easily fooled or are they so pure of heart that they are just trusting to a fault? Perhaps it is that they are so weak of character that they can rationalize forfeiting core beliefs and principles to be associated with a perceived winner?

For example, after a few focus groups and some voter polling I suppose; Fred has went from “Mr. Some Aspirations of Citizenship” to a detailed plan on immigration. I just hope they script it for him where he can lay it out at the debates. Sometimes it’s hard to remember where you stand on a certain issue. I just don’t understand the thinking process of some I suppose.

If I understand or not, it still seems they (the electorate) are willing, once again, to trust, what these posturing, polling panderers are saying, just like they always have. They ignore history and reason and trust the new “Road to the Presidency” converts and then are surprised and pi$$ and moan when they are burned by them. Time after time, election after election, on it goes and it seems nothing is ever learned.
