I guess..... I just don’t understand it though.....

Course, I don’t understand Hannity either.

For years, acting wasn’t the Law & Order star’s profession — it was a hobby. In the real world, Thompson has made a fortune in a decades-long career as a Washington lobbyist.

Talk about disingenuous statements from the DNC... Thompson likely made more money from one season of Law And Order than he did in 20 years of lobbying work.

Hannity was called to task on his stances on abortion and birth control a while back by Fr. Euteneuer of Human Life International. Hannity just lost it. The video’s on YouTube, but I can’t be completely sure this is the right one (I can’t check it right now). I think it is. If not, you can search for it there.

Hunter is my favorite unelectable candidate too.

But what if Hunter and Thompson team up?
I have a lot of vet freinds who are backing Hunter because he's been where they have.
He knows what a hot LZ is, understands veterans and the problems associated with the VA (Veterans Admin)...
Based on my email circle, they are looking hard at Thompson, but still want someone who is "one of them"...

Formidable ticket IMHO, Thompson/Hunter...

Thanks for the link. It’s the right one. I just can’t stand him. He is a gasbag and nothing more.

Hunter might be a good VP selection... I like him very much on a personal level, but have some reservations politically, as I do with all of them.

"Affiliated with the Council on the Foreign Relations and lobbying, to boot..."

Thereby establishing his "street creds" with the party-above-principle GOP Big Tent go-along-to-get-along party leadership.

OOOH the CFR!

Sorry but this is getting real old...

It’s a think tank, albeit a real country club of a think tank. Hell Dick Chaney is member and so was Dwight Eisenhower, neither one of them are/were much in the way of one world Marxist...

The members publish from both sides. No black helicopters, but they do have some influential members, like our very possible next President FDT...

Oh and he was a lobbyist and a lawyer LIKE 1000 others in DC...

He has cooties too...

It sure is. Post something besides your absurd hyperboles, i.e., opinions backed by documentation to support them. Then get back to me.

Good lord, the use of the term Hyperbole should join that of using Hitler in an argument, as in if you use it you lose...

However I’ll bite, its late.

I will first tell you to actually go to their site and look around. Now the bulk of the writing is pro Globalist without a doubt. Of course that’s because most of the writing is done by academics. It’s a think tank thing. However there are contrary opinions, Just saw one article that was less than flattering to the UN Human rights committee last week. I am not on my office PC so don't have the links, but give the site a look see.

The thing that gets me is the cherry picking. John Bolton, Newt, Chaney, Libby even are CFR members, and I don’t think most will doubt the conservative credentials of these guys. So what’s wrong with Fred being on it also. Of course if you are taking an isolationist position some are taking (which will never work, not enough internal markets)I can see you concern over CFR.

The really good thing is that we will never lose sovereignty unless we vote on it, and that won’t happen. Because some “elites” have some influence, what else is new. Been the same for 2000 years.

So maybe there is more “free market” talk than some like here and there. We are a free market capitalist society for crying out loud. New markets are not necessarily bad, it’s how its handled and I want a conservative who understands that up there to face the inevitable growth of our economy further out into a dynamic world.
