However, since he’s now completely irrelevant it doesn’t matter what I think about him.
***That’s what I don’t get. I thought Tancredo, Brownback, and T Thompson were completely irrelevant, and I never logged onto any of their threads (as far as I know). Yet we see day after day the same sort of comment like this from Freepers. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Once Thompson drops out, Hunter will be the only conservative in the race. Thompson has a 70.1% chance of dropping out in January and an 86.2% chance of dropping in February per Intrade. The beauty of those numbers is that if you really do disagree with them, you can short them and make money if you’re right.

Your mileage obviously varies, but I feel free to visit and comment on any thread that sparks my interest.
The only exception to that is in the Religion Forum, where the official policy is that some threads are "protected." If I have a contrary view on such a thread, I'll keep it to myself.
If you apply and get protected status for Hunter threads, I'll observe the rules.
It's a strange day when a conservative website can't debate various candidates during the early primary season, but that's what you and many would prefer.
