What your saying is true and wonderful in a perfect world. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to nominate a true conservative, we may end up with Rudy or Romney or McCain. I don’t believe I would be violating any core principles by flipping the lever for one of them, distasteful as they may be, when the alternative is Hillary or Obama. Can you sit out the election knowing you might help to elect a democrat? Will you be okay with 2 or 3 Ruth Bader Ginsberg clones on the Court? With no response beyond arrest warrants if Al Quaida blows up the Sears Tower?
On a scale of 1 to 10, Thompson and Hunter might be 9’s or 10’s and Rudy/Romney/McCain might be a 4 or 5. But Hillary and Obama are big fat zeroes.
“You need to rework the poll to allow more than one selection and add the choice of, “Any of the selected is a deal breaker””
Yeah, I was looking for that option too.
You are not wrong that McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani, Etc. hold some liberal positions.
But if it's them against Her Heinous who is an out and out communist I'm voting for them.
(BTW, you forgot to list the candidates' Defense and WOT credentials which many consider the #1 issue.)
I haven’t voted yet. There needs to be a spot for “any of the above” is a deal breaker. A great FReeper just mentioned that on another thread.
Not at all. Just consider his actual record. Past deeds count more than current promises. The flip flopping and degree of spinning necessary to explain his new position generally decreases his trustworthy factor.
Many of us are looking for that option. I can’t vote until it’s there.
No proof or evidence of that. Fred is from Nashville, and you can't turn your in any direction without seeing the problems these invaders have caused in our city. We scream for action here, and he would've done the right thing and stood against Shamnesty last year.
It was my first
Hunter/Thompson for me.
Agreed....that's what I was looking for, myself. : )
Jim, thanks for the chart. Graphically displays what the true conservatives have been saying for weeks.
If the GOP is to survive as a conservative party, this is the way to do it...Thompson/Hunter; but they’ll need a boatload of help, and a lot of money.
I’d really like to see Fred put together two or three absolutely frantic days, just to help lay to rest that garbage about not having the stamina, not wanting the job, etc.
We don’t need a reluctant president. We need Fred’s bedrock, fundamental conservative prinicples, communicated eloquently and effectively, in many, many venues. And Duncan Hunter can be a very visible VP candidate, with the high energy we need to see.
We need strong leadership, up front and out there; making no apologies for the greatness of this country, and telling the world in the plainest terms that our borders will be secure, that our people will be protected to the greatest degree possible, and that we will continue to stand as the brightest light of freedom that ever has shone on the face of God’s Earth. No more PC crappola. Tolerance is one thing, appeasement and needless atonement for imagined wrongs will be stricken from the discussion.
It’s time. It’s time.
Welcome great FReeper. Have you voted yet? I haven’t.
Hunter/Thompson for me. I would consider Giuliani or Romney 2nd tier.
McCain = No way
Looks like most on this forum would not vote in the Presidential.
Nope; I’m waiting to see if there becomes a “any one of the above is a deal breaker” choice. : )
Maybe we’ll get a new poll up. Otherwise, I’ve been disenfranchised! (isn’t that the phrase they use?) lololol
foflmao!
