The baby, not Fred!
The media players will do all they can to try to control the ‘race’ by printing what they want about who they want. As usual, they don’t know the ‘voters’, the red states, the flyover country as they call us. :) It aint over yet.
Fred is not a career politician.
Only career politicians NEED a job.
Fred will get the nod...
Typical pissant logic!
Gone are the days when the VP is a silent partner.
That is my biggest worry about Fred. He chaired the committee to investigate the Clinton/China funny money, and allowed the investigation to be turned into an investigation into Haley Barbour and the Republicans (the only part of the investigation to be covered live by CNN!) He allowed himself to be rolled, and didn't seem to mind at all.
Meanwhile, McCain was covering Clinton's and the Chinese's flank with his "This is all about the need for more laws" campaign.
That is factually incorrect.
Hunter to endorse McCain? What a joke! Amnesty McCain being endorsed by Hunter... I’ll believe it when I see it.
this guy was a huge DNC contributor while at U. of Pittsburgh , last contibutions '00,probably about time Internet listings got going, according to Newsmeat. Why does Zito make him go to guy on Conservative website?
You know, back when Huckabee was a second-tier no-hoper, I considered myself a nominal supporter of his. I didn’t think he had the slightest chance of winning, but my view was that it was too early to start strategizing and compromising and I might as well stick with a guy I really liked for as long as he was around.
About the time the “Huckaboom” took off, I wised up. Got off the Huck bandwagon at the same time a great many of my compatriots got on.
Anyway, the point is that I could actually see myself joining the Hunter camp with the same mindset I used to have as a Huck guy. But the bull-headed, fanaticism-tinged detachment from reality of his supporters turns me off.
Fred IS winning over Reagan Democrats, as we speak, including some diehard rats in my own family.
I know plenty of Reagan Democrats that are going to vote for Huckabee. Fred is not getting much support in his college town. I have decided to wimp out in the primaries. Not voting.
I think Hunter is great. I am hoping we will end up with a Thompson/Hunter ticket.
Eight years of that, then the country will know and love Hunter, then eight years of him as President.
Sixteen years of true conservatives might be enough to turn this place back into what the Founding Fathers intended it to be.
Either that or we will end up with Hitlery and Hussein. And that is the end of our Roman empire.
This campaign season has been mild. Mostly ‘cause the Rudy folks are largely gone, I assume
There are only two acceptable candidates in the race, and you can think of nothing better to do than work nonstop to try to drive one of them out?
I haven’t noticed Fred’s supporters spending a lot of time attacking Duncan Hunter.
This is extremely stupid and counterproductive. With a bunch of liberal idiots running for the Republican nomination, you have to keep attacking the only other conservative in the race? How about spending a little time supporting your candidate, instead? Or going after the big three liberals?
How do these constant anti-Fred posts help your man Duncan Hunter?
Why not keep your eye on the ball? Let’s focus on what’s wrong with the RINOs, squishes, and sellouts in the race? Right now the only candidate likely to overcome Slick-Mitt and the Huckster is Fred. For all the reasons you and I support Duncan, we should be focusing on the disaster for our country if either one of them is our nominee.
True. Reagan wasn't a career politician and he had "fire in his belly."
And to be honest with you, we are going to need a fighter in the WH to get the jackasses in the Congress to do anything. Lower taxes, build the wall...
And the point is -- Fred said that! Why would any of us vote for someone who is going to be a lame duck POTUS?
Are you deliberately lying or just completely ignorant?
Thompson NEVER said any such thing.
Fairly late in the evening, McCain was in third by, IIRC, a hundred or two hundred votes. It lasted for about twenty minutes then reverted back.
