That is exactly the term I used on other threads. Another more revealing term is the "Tancredo treatment" which was a result of Karl Rove telling Tom Tancredo not to show up at the Whitehouse anymore due to his stance on immigration.
Who is the only candidate committed to building the fence in 6 MONTHS?
When you have a debate you have to have a cutoff somewhere. If not, they would have 40 guys on the stage! I know the Hunter people dont like it, but he has had no traction in any voting.
***Fascinating. If they included how many candidates had delegates at the time of New Hampshire debates, there would have only been 3: Hunter, Thompson and Romney. But instead they choose Poll results rather than ACTUAL VOTES. Pull your head out.
“Democrat style thinking has infected the GOP and I can’t stand to watch it.”
It’s killing this country. If all I can do to not see this further slide into oblivion is hide my head in the sand like the rest of the electorate, I may just do so.
Unfortunately, I think it does explain it. Hunter has always been shunned in all the debates. We have to pray that God will make the way for him to be heard in a big way.
>Who is the only candidate committed to building the fence in 6 MONTHS?<
They all seem to be concerned about securing the border and getting the fence built now that they’ve thrown Hunter under the bus.
McCain said himself we have to secure the border.
Lying SOS!
I do, and will continue to, every night!!
I actually agree with you. Just wanted to make sure that y’all know it just ain’t hunter getting excluded. Frankly with our current choices perhaps one of these people are better.
BTTT
Yes, where are these principled conservatives I keep hearing about so much? Did you hear them speak up for Hunter at the debates? They will surely say it is not our place to advance Hunter.
It is also not Hunters place to continue playing nice. It is time to take off the gloves and bare-knuckle box. Hunter can start by getting the photo of Romney on the border enlarged. Carry it around with him and ask Romney and the media what he has ever done to get a fence built or secure our borders.
I think we have to, in some way, if we can, give Fred the credit he deserves for CFR, and ask him what he meant by “aspirations of citizenship”. McCain needs to own CFR and needs his clay feet smashed with the Amnesty hammer. Rudy and Huckabee are so easy there is no reason to even bother. :)
As is often said here, "elections have consequences", and that includes primaries. Promote a liberal in the primaries today, and we will elect a liberal in November. What will make them angry is that it won't be 'their' liberal who gets elected.
The people of South Carolina have not tallied any votes yet.
Another example of why some folks should NOT have ability to vote....another phoney media created buzzword, “electability” or “curb appeal” is NOT the issue! It is who is best QUALIFIED to lead. Who has the background (resume), leadership (results), and character (honesty & integrity).
If you base your vote on the latest Faux News “poll”, “looks”, “charisma”, “star power” or any other media-driven buzz word, you should have your citizenship revoked! Since that will probably not happen, those are they type that will most likely a have a DNC ID card in their future.
Very well said, we will have to see what the trends are in the South and West before we can be sure. But, so far, not so good.
“The candidates were weighed and he was found lacking in strength to carry on.”
Frankly I read your posts, and would not trust your judgement, or that of Faux News to determine who is worthy to carry on.
McCain’s been campaigning here for over a year, but he’s got a tough row to hoe to be victorious. SC is a very conservative state, but the Huckster has fooled a lot of people here. Hes polling very well with conservatives, but it has nothing to do with his conservatism but the fact that hes an evangelical.
Back to the point; I had an interesting conversation with a Libertarian/Conservative colleague in the office this morning who she spoke glowingly of McCain - not because if his politics, but his “hero” image. Shes supporting him. When I tried to explain that I admire his service as well (I’m USAF), but his politics is very left of center, she was genuinely surprised. She just “didn’t know”!
