You've been on FR since 2003 and you don't know what a Republican piss-fight is all about?:)
There will be no holds barred until after the conventions in 2008 and we're stuck with whichever Republicans win. Then we all get together and work to defeat whichever Dem candidates are running, which at this point looks like a Hillary-Osama ticket (which should scare the hell out of anyone). The more things change......
Sadly, you’re right. FR’s really changed since I joined. I think illegal immigration has cracked a lot of people up.
After 2006, I’m not sure about the “get together and work to defeat whichever Dem candidates are running” part. People seem more interested in cutting off the nose to spite the face.
It is too soon to know anything. I confess I did not know Thompson had non Hodgkins lymphoma. I am surprised he would run with it. There is no possible way the Democrats will ignore it and they will assuredly point to Paul Tsongas, who had cancer and looked healthy while running for president in 1992 and died in 1997.
Romney is not more conservative than Duncan Hunter. I suspect Hunter did not make the cutoff for consideration.
We must let time pass and watch the money. Money will eventually tell the tale.
