“Hunter and his supporters are what prevented conservatives from rallying around Thompson unanimously.
Unfortunately Hunter has had his own motives, and was never interested in helping conservatives regain control of the GOP.”
Your said all along that there weren’t enough Hunter supporters to matter to anybody! Which is it? I don’t think you want Thompson, I think you’re happy about how this is going.
There aren’t enough supporters to make a difference in the VOTE.
But they are loud enough and vocal enough and hateful enough that they have had a depressing effect on Thompson’s natural base of support in places like FR, where the official conservative consensus is forged.
Had it not been for Hunter’s band of haters — this election’s version of Keye’s 2000 supporters — then there would have never been any contention over FRed as the conservative choice here, and thus anywhere else.
So thanks a lot Hunterites. You’ve really screwed us this time!
You must be proud, you did what Alan Keyes wasn’t able to do 8 years ago.
