Fred Thompson, the Education President?

Hunter's Rangers - Bar of Integrity ^ | September 18, 2007 | Alexander J. Hamilton

I’m REALLY disappointed that SOME people are giving up so easily, especially this early.

I'm not giving up. I'm backing a solid conservative polling in the mid-20s. You think I should give him up to support a solid conservative polling in the mid-asterisks. Too bad. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

Hunter is a good man, he'd make a fine Secretary of Defense, and if he shows up, I'm sure he'll do a fine job.

By turning everyone off FDT with your attitude.

CORRECTION:

I bet you canNOT even fill up a tagline about your candidate, as I did with my tagline.

[Petronski]

I bet I don’t care about Jr. High dares.

[Sun]

Re: ISSUES, why are you supporting Fred?

The fact that you can’t answer that is VERY telling.

[Petronski]

You can’t even say IN YOUR OWN WORDS...

Not "cannot." Just "am not."

[Petronski]

The fact that you can’t answer that is VERY telling.

Not "can't," just "won't." You're not that important. Sorry.

I have a strict rule about feeding the trolls and I've just now realized I've wasted the last hour violating that rule. Oh well. Better late than never.

[Sun]

ROFLLLLLLLL. All of the Fred supporters give the same spin.

Some of you are spending time posting on boards, calling people names, and you don’t even know why you are supporting Fred re: ISSUES.

[Petronski]

...and you don’t even know why you are supporting Fred re: ISSUES.

I see you're not above lying.

Don't you know you're "turning everyone off [DH] with your attitude?"

[Sun]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

CONCLUSION: Fred supporters don’t even know why they are supporting Fred when it comes to ISSUES.

Funny but sad...........

[Old_Mil]

You’re going to be in trouble now! Talking about Fred’s actual record is off limits. You may, however, discuss his acting career, his wife, or his southern drawl.

[Petronski]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

CONCLUSION: Sun is a liar.

Funny but sad...........

[Sun]

Hey Pet, get back to us when you figure out what Fred stands for. ISSUES, please.

[Sun]

“I’ve wasted the last hour”

You do that on every thread.

Have you no life sir/ma’am?

[Petronski]

Troll on.

[Sun]

“Troll on.”

At least you admit you’re a troll. Admitting it is half the battle.

[Sun]

From the link:

“And finally, for an encore topping off his fine career in education, Fred introduced and got passage of an amendment to dedicate funds for one last endowment. This time he hid it in the supplemental appropriations bill for Terrorism related expenses.”

THAT is EXTREMELY bad.

Nice tagline, funny thing though. It hasn't traded in on any popularity, or votes. Duncan has had 3 debates in a row to seperate himself from the rest of the crowd and failed miserably. The only place he did well was Texas, but that is because no one else but RP was there actually campaigning, and he couldn't win in his own state!

I find that interesting since all you DH supporters say he is the right man for the job, but it is not resounding where it counts. On the road. THe Values Voter forum was a perfect opportunity for DH, and once again he was nowhere near the top of the straw polling at the end of the night AND THAT WAS CLOSED VOTE!!

I won't even get into the polls, like Rasmussen or Gallup, because if his message was making an impact on people it would show. If it hasn't by now, it won't. There are too many other people in the way.

I don't know about you, but I just want a candidate that understands national security and not only wants our borders secured and our current immigration laws enforced, but actually gets WHY we are opposed to comprehensive immigration reform and isn't afraid to say it.

I want a candidate that understands the second amendment and not only understands the importance of appointing conservative judges to stop judicial tyranny, but also understands how precious life is.

I want a candidate that won't pander to European socialists and is willing to tell the Mexican government how things are, as well as being willing to actually say how useless the UN is.

I also feel it is extremely important to nominate a candidate that can articulate conservatism in a way that everyone can understand, to counter the demagoguery of the left. I like a candidate who can explain why tax cuts are good for our economy and can show man-made global warming for the joke that it is. It would be refreshing to see a candidate explain why we should back Israel and make damn sure Iran never gets a nuke.

Wouldn't it be great to have a candidate that see's CAIR for what it is? Even better to have a candidate that calls out Democrats for being the defeatist losers that they are.

While we're dreaming the impossible dream and looking for this perfect candidate, I'd also like to throw in that I would love to nominate a candidate who can use the new media to his advantage and get around old media liberal bias.

I don't know where we'd ever find such a candidate, but if we can find him, we'll do well in 2008. :) Plus, the other guys are either congressmen with no personality or gungrabbing, abortion supporting medicine socializers.

don't shoot the messenger

Then stop cutting off Fred's quote on immigration and deliver it in context. Until then, half the truth is a lie. That makes you a liar.

"Do you approve of the information and voting record in the article?"



No I do not, but when each candidate's overall record on spending is taking into account, the only ones with a better record than Fred are Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo. Ron is off the mark on the threat of Islam and Tom is widely perceived as a one issue candidate. Yes, Fred has missed the mark on a few issues, but on the whole he has a solid record as a limited government conservative and has the ability to communicate his principles effectively to the American people. I see no better choice available.
