The Right Candidate May Not Be a Front-Runner

This would not be a problem if people had enough “snap” to vote their conscience. But, don’t get me started.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Liberalism is the target. Ruby Julie-Annie is an authoritarian leftist.

Ask yourself: What is the world capitol city of the United Nations and liberalism?

Thompson is not playing the media’s game and every so-called “conservative” Madison Avenue limousine liberal like George “open borders” Will is having a fit he is running.

I support Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson. I will most likely vote for Fred Thompson in the primary. Turning the general election into a second Democrat primary is just plain stupid...

Some of the Republicans are stuck on stupid. If the GOP gives me a liberal, I’ll write in “Bullwinkle.”

We have media provocateurs posing as “conservatives” who are really sleeper cells trying to cram liberalism and cross dressing liberal candidates down the throats of the GOP voting base.

For the past year, the so-called “conservative” commentators and columnists have been telling Republicans they need to compromise and nominate a liberal. Now all of the sudden Thompson isn’t conservative enough...

And these same media jackals who are supposedly “conservative,” are still trying to cram liberalism down our throats.

Also take note of who cried the loudest when Ann Coulter made the “faggot” remark at the CPAC event. Those so-called Republicans had to take a Midol to calm down. (They also need to be watched closely.)

Also, ask yourself: Where do the likes of George Will, Robert Novak, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, et. al; get their paychecks? Answer: the left wing New York media...

“He can’t even best the Hucktser..”

Oh, really?

“Duncan Hunter doubled the totals of the next-closest candidate, garnering 534 of approximately 1,400 votes cast. Fred Thompson came in second with 266 votes, and Paul rounded out the top three with 217 votes.

Here are all the results:
Duncan Hunter: 534
Fred Thompson: 266
Ron Paul: 217
Mike Huckabee: 83
Rudy Giuliani: 78
Mitt Romney: 61
Ray McKinney: 28
John Cox: 10
John McCain: 8
Sam Brownback: 6
Tom Tancredo: 6
Hugh Cort: 3”

"Of course he can't win if the very people who recognize what they see as his superiority dismiss his chances out of hand."

That's exactly why we've been moving to the moral, fiscal and anti-defense left for decades.

Socialists were infiltrating the Republican Party and dictating to Republicans during the 1800s. Susan B. Anthony was one of those socialists (see her influence from Charles Fourier). She later traveled with the racist Democrat George Train and refused to speak against lynchings. I did a long study on Anthony, her friends and their political activities. A few conservative academics are continuing that study, as I asked them to do.

“Time to re-double our efforts”

That’s the spirit - because we LOVE our country!

I agree with your post 100% and I have been writing and saying as much for sometime now. Guess what? No one is listening. There are a plethora of complaints and observations about the left leaning MSM and everyone seems to get it. But then, they turn right around and let the MSM choose their candidates for them. And so it goes.........Polls, popularity, electability.

The media polls tell them who has a chance and who hasn’t. Then they are always more than content to ‘settle’ in the name of electability or pragmatism. I have noticed things that settle usually tend to settle to the bottom. So I suppose, no matter how much an affront it is to some candidates, talk of 1st, 2nd and 3rd tiers will continue to the point of its ultimate and predictable conclusion. Then the talk of tiers will end and we can get on with the real tears.

“Volunteer. Donate. Do something! Just don’t let somebody else pick your candidate for you.”

Right on!

[familyop]

"I've noticed all this talk about front-runners and second tier is based entirely on media created perceptions. I hasten to remind every one on this forum not a single actual vote has been cast yet. It would be a tragedy if good men were eliminated by Republicans from consideration based on a media classification of questionable worth."

That was very well considered and written. If we can render analyses like yours down to very simple statements, they'll go far toward educating enough voters, goldstategop.

”The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson color of it should creep into his vote. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.”—G.K Chesterton

All I get from the "second tier candidates can't win" MSM and cable news is Spears in her undies and OJ.

WTF do they know except how to dumb-down our country.

[rmlew]

1. People like governors.
2. The media likes Huckabee, not Hunter.
(Fat to thin good. Anti-china bad)
3. Hunter is not as charismatic as Huckabee and not as concise as Tancredo.

[pissant]

Hunter is far more commanding than either. Tanc fumbles and stutters, Huck blows nothing but BS. Hunter is direct and concise.

[Lancey Howard]

1. Duncan Hunter is the best candidate.
2. A country with states that elect complete scumbags like Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, “Dick” Durbin, Patrick “Leaky” Leahy, Jon Corzine, Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy, John ‘F’ing Kerry, and Chuck Schumer will never elect Duncan Hunter.

[Lancey Howard]

Oh yeah, I see them!

[rmlew]

I like Hunter, so perhaps I am hard on him. Nonethless, he did not go over as well as I would have wanted. Huckabee “spoke the language of Zion” and the value voters delegates proved that they don’t pay attention anything but rhetoric.

[Lexinom]

Read the article. The answer is there.

Then, if you have the courage, do the right thing rather than the “popular” thing. Collectively if enough do the right thing, we’ll get a worthy candidate with the experience and fortitude of character demanded by the office. Remember that Ronald Reagan always wore his blazer in the oval office out of reverence for the presidency. It is not something to be bestowed frivolously on men we think might be popular with the cacophony of voices driving our media engine.

One last thing. Popular sentiment has no bearing on the right thing - you are not accountable to your fellow citizen or God for the result, only for what YOU do. I’ve just given Duncan Hunter another $100. I hope everyone who reads this sends a little something his way, for all of the reasons stated.

Now, won’t you join us and show some courage?

The way President Bush is proceeding now a days he is putting out the Red Carpet for Hillary.

“Of course he can’t win if the very people who recognize what they see as his superiority dismiss his chances out of hand.”

That’s what I have been saying for a long while. Duncan Hunter is the best.

[freekitty]

Hunter can win and he will win.
