Thompson picks up Iowa endorsement

Tanc endorsed Romney after much pressure from Bay Buchanan, sister of Pat, Tancredo’s campaign manager and a convert to the LDS church.

In the end, Tanc reneged on his genetleman’s agreement with Duncan Hunter.

I am not declared for anyone, but I'm not AGAINST Fred. I'd vote for him without remorse. But, that's not my point. My point here is about civil discussion and what bounds should be placed on it and equal enforcement of those bounds. I am able to distiguish between Fred and his poor acting supporters enough that their obnoxiousness does not really effect my opinion of the Candidate himself. However, their hyperbole has made me look closer into the hit pieces on the rest, usually to discover that they were full of crap spin jobs

I don't see you pointing out the extremely obnoxious Ron Paul supports just Fred's, and to be honest with you, you're going to have to show me an example of one. Because I've not seen ONE Fred Supporter turn "obnoxious" unless he/she has already been attacked. So I think you're wrong here.

I don't follow the Paul threads, so I don't know who is acting obnoxious there. As for the rest, I get the impression you would not agree with any of the examples I could easily give you, nor am I one to cross threads. They are out there if you choose to be honestly equal in your assessments.

You think I'm wrong, I think you are turning a blind eye. I suppose we will have to leave it there, since ugly is also in the eye of the beholder.

You think I'm wrong, I think you are turning a blind eye. I suppose we will have to leave it there, since ugly is also in the eye of the beholder.

As I pointed out earlier I think in this thread, you really don't KNOW me at all, and saying I'm turning a blind eye would be an example of your opinion. Not, the facts.

No, I pay very close attention to what's going on around me, and generally in the threads. Unless there's a whole lot of name calling and insulting, then I do ignore that. I don't much feel like reading that childish crap. However, don't let that make you think I won't "lower myself to play in the mud" with people. I don't let ANYONE push me around and I'll give back what I get.

As far as this thread goes, and others, I've seen a bit here and there, but I've not seen more than one or two "Fredheads" making comments. I've made a few negative ones myself - but I don't do it as a matter of course, and I was pointing out FACTS.

There's a big difference in pointing out FACTS and garbage that isn't true. I'd say if someone has been point8ing out negative stuff about, say Rudy or someone else, then so what? If those things are TRUE. If they are made up (like the "Rudy in Drag" crap - which was a SKIT on TV) then those people are being dumbasses. /shrug.
