LOL
Let's cut to the chase, what would you say if I told you I don't like FT enough to vote for him?. I fear the Republican party is going in the wrong direction, Duncan is a Diamond as far as politcians go. The fact that he has been ignored except for Pissant and a few of us in FR, surely tells a lot about where party is going. The question is, can we like someone other than Fred in FR to remain in good standing?
I like Hunter just fine. I don’t like people trashing Fred Thompson 24/7 on this conservative site with lies and B/S. Pissant was warned to knock it off and opted to ignore the warning.
JimRob, start at 1:33--would that be considered trashing, or is it comparing and contrasting records?--which is the normal exercise of a political campaign
IMO that is what the overwhelming majority of us are doing--including our friend...
pissant was trashing.
..that is not my experience at all, BUT, yours is the last word...
Duncan Hunter BTTT!
I have said very strong things about JulieAnnie, because I believe they are trying to sell him as what he is not. I honestly thing RG is an enemy of social-conservatives. I suppose if you really liked him, then I would have been banned by now?
Mind you Jim, I understand this is private Forum and it is yours!... I would just like to really get a grasp for the rules. By thw way, anyway we can get Pissant's email address or a way of communicatijng with him? Could you allow him to publish or email us an email address or something? That would be appreciated.
WOW!!!!!
If Hunter gets elected then maybe my nightmares about my son coming home from school with history homework that changes every day because of the school system must follow the Hildebeast will stop.
Giuliani deserves a thorough thrashing. Thompson does not.
His viewpoints IMHO are the most in line with the concept and philosophy of Free Republic. His delivery and sincerity top class. His foundations strong and clear. His humor and self-deprecation a great contrast against that puffed up, would be dictator Hitlery.
I wont say anything bad here about other GOP candidates, except perhaps the outright RINOS like Giuliani and McCain.
But what I WILL say is THIS: k my word, we will come to regret not nominating Mr. Hunter if it turns out that way, I can assure everyone.
I recall the story of a Ford delegate at the 1976 GOP National Convention, just after President Reagan gave his concession speech to Ford, say outloud "Oh my goodness. We just nominated the wrong man!"
I suspect that once Hillarys steam roller really gets into operation, and were Hunter to have to give a concession speech in Minnesota, a lot of conservatives are going to be saying "O my goodness. We just nominated the wrong man!" Just my take. I hope and pray it will be otherwise. Now the really hard work--over the next two months--starts to avoid this at all costs.
..would Republicans choose an establishment candidate, whom they needed to prop up and project upon him virtues which did not exist and color his record to appear more conservative than it is—and at the same time reject a great conservative and great man—they would NEVER do that again (/sarc)
But again, it would be nice to have a way of communicating with him. I would appreciate it if you can. No QUESTION, things get emotional from time to time, God knows I have been trying to remind everyone, and myself! that we are "friends despite our differences," as my tag has pointed it out from DAY ONE and it has never changed, except for the addition of Hunter 08 :). But sometimes...it's not easy liking everyone... That is just the truth.
Call it "Quality Control" we are engaging in.
:) I don’t know, but doesn’t it have a sort of grand ring to it?
“What exactly is trashing? We do that with everyone we don’t like, I think.”
The moment a bunch of you accused Fred Thompson of being a babykiller and pro-death, is the moment that all respect was lost for Hunter’s supporters.
There is trashing, and there is going over the line. Hunter’s supporters went over the line.
You might put away that broad brush you’re painting Hunter supporters with—you might get some on you...
Love this guy!
Would you care to give us links to Hunter supporters doing that - calling Thompson a babykiller and pro-death? I have never read of a Hunter supporter doing that. They may have cited one of his past votes, or who he represented in his lobbying days, but using the words, “babykiller and pro-death”? I don’t think so.
