Funded by George Bush's money network, backed by veteran Bush-Cheney loyalists and boasting loads of name recognition, Thompson is expected to stride onstage in a strong second place.

Now that President Bush has, finally, been exposed as an elite globalist of the worst kind, all this chumminess is very bothersome.

Thoughts?

Yes, that jumped right out at me, too. I’m not sure if it’s true, or if the Daily News, a clintonoid rag, stuck it in there as a piece of sabotage.

Of course a lot of regulars are coming out for Fred, or he wouldn’t have a chance of making it. But the question is whether they are regulars of a particular type. I wouldn’t take the Daily News’s word for it, but I think we need to learn more if he continues to move forward.

Ping.

Baloney. Don't fall for that back-handed assertion.

I know who his staff is, and they are not a bunch of bush/cheney guys and his fundraising network is not the Bush network, the daily news is making leaps that would make an Olympic gold medalist jealous.

Basically Republicans. Gee, what a shock./sarc.

“Thoughts?”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t like or trust Fred’s friends. And if Bush does not succeed in giving away our country, Fred will continue Bush’s traitorous work. The same crooks who bought off Bush are now buying off Fred.

Tancrado is one of the few who has been quietly fighting for our country for a long, long time. He has been loyal to us, and we need to be loyal to him. I for one owe him a lot for his true patriotism.

Also, Lynne Cheney recently jumped on Fred’s bandwagon.

I like the Cheneys, but for me that was a sign (a red flag if you will) that Fred would be taking up where Bush left off.

I don't consider Bush an "elite globalist" if you mean it in the same way Pat Buchanan means it.

He has certainly embraced the neocons. Who are "globalists". But so did a lot of conservatives.

Bush has been good on many things. Taxes, WOT, defense (e.g. SDI and the cancellation of that stupid ABM treaty), playing "rope a dope" on the Global Warning hoax, prolife etc.

Immigration being a glaring exception.

But the fact that Bush/Cheney supporters are backing Fred is no reason not to support him. I support Fred and supported Bush/Cheney. I still have their bumper stickers on my pickup truck to prove it.
