And will you cut it out with this nonsense? You people are always the ones who are telling us to push electable Republicans. Hunter is sadly not electable. But now you're complaining that we have found someone who is electable and palatable.

Who put Tabasco in your jock strap? My point is that if this forum can't rally around the eventual Republican nominee, it will be in trouble. What is nonsensical about that?

As of today, this forum is in fairly broad agreement that Fred Thompson would make a good nominee. Trouble is, he isn't running, at least not yet. And if he does run, he might not win the nomination. And then, what will you do?

If this forum is hostile to the supporters of the nominee, if that doesn't happen to be Fred Thompson, how supportive will they be of this forum and how comfortable will they be in posting at all?

Those are fair questions, and just because they make you uncomfortable is not a reason for me not to ask them.

First of all, sorry about the tone of my last post. I do 4-day weeks during the spring and summer and go out and get tanked with friends on Thursday nights. I had also just finished reading another thread that pissed me off.

I was specifically annoyed at the "why are the Hunter fans abandoning him" line of questioning. I'm sure you were sincere in asking it, but several posters on the new anti-freeping site have been mocking Hunter supporters who have jumped on the Thompson boat after realizing that Hunter is not gaining ground. Since that pretty much sums up my situation, I get a bit offended by it.

My point is that if this forum can't rally around the eventual Republican nominee, it will be in trouble.

I personally think that FR will be fine with a non-Thompson candidate other than Rudy. I think we'll be able to get behind Romney and probably even McCain.

Sorry again for being bitchy last night/this morning. You're one of the posters I enjoy chatting with.
