Are they hired by the hour or on salary? Do they only work 9 to 5 or do their duties involve nights and weekends, too? The fact that the wife of a candidate is checking up on them strikes me as a tad bit Hillaryesque. Will we have a co-presidency with them, also?

re: # 47

If taking adult attendance amuses you all, you'd really crack up every day around the military services. Or do you consider them all kiddies because they have to answer roll call quite regularly? Or maybe you think civilians a more trustworthy and honest than service people.

"Ok,case in point. Is there something you would like me to do about it before the primaries?"

No, but you asked me the other day why some waste time going to Hunter threads, here is a shining example.

Don’t think Newsmax has ever carried water for the Clintons.

I think it was that really short speech at some weekend event that caused some rumblings, and also the failure to mingle and kiss babies.

I wonder what was up that day, something was, but there is still time for everyone to work out the kinks.

Any adversity is good for these guys, since they will be getting it in spades from The Queen and her “brilliant” bad boy husband.

“Hunter’s the best choice.”

Yes, he is!! I grew up on a dairy farm, the cream does rise to the top.

Do you actually believe that or are you just saying it to laugh at the drama that will ensue from such a delusion? He’s been running for the better part of a year any has gone NOWHERE. And I sleep just fine supporting Thompson, because that’s the only real conservative who can secure the nomination. In fact, I’m SO comfortable with my support for Thompson that I don’t feel the need to attack the other real conservatives in the race (Hunter and Tancredo) in an orgy of mental masturbation. I save my ire for RINOs like Rudy McRomneybee. That’s a hell of a concept, isn’t it?

“If taking adult attendance amuses you all, you’d really crack up every day around the military services”

And is that something the wives of the generals do? :)

The BlogsforFred guy has gone to Huck? good grief, that was a good site he had!

Huck? The guy John Fund just wrote about in the WSJ that destroyed the GOP in Arkansas because he was so liberal? Maybe this guy will end up with a blog for every candidate, including the dems by the time it's over.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop laughing after reading this.

Do you mean the part where you take an article from NEWSMAX with any amount of seriousness?

I didn’t convince you, huh? Shoot!

Yes, I actually believe that Duncan Hunter will win. I also believe that Thompson is no conservative so I lump him in with your list.

Masturbation is a good analogy here, since they all seem to get off on this complete stupidity.

They also have the luxury to continue the idiocy hiding behind a good guy like Hunter. Very few, if any, Fredheads are going to bash Hunter in return.

This thread is another pathetic display of Hunter supporters showing very bad judgement.

re: # 70

Some of them damned well do on certain types of occasions at that level. I have personally known some generals wives who were furious when lesser ranking officers didn't show up where they were expected to be.

Yea, I really don’t get the Huck thing, in his interviews with the liberal media he sounds really, really, liberal.

And in the debates he sounds different.

I’m so tired of that from Republicans, kissing media arse is so unnecessary.

When will they figure that out?

(years ago I swore I would never vote for any Republican that went on MTP, to be lectured to by a Dim hack, but of course they ALL do)

Basically then, the reason is retribution? It still strikes me as a waste of time.

J. T. Mastranadi, Thompson’s director of research, quit in horror after Thompson’s wife Jeri began taking attendance at campaign headquarters in McLean, Va., one late Friday afternoon. Jeri Thompson actually called staffers at home to ask where they were and why they should be paid.

Gosh, did they think that if they were being paid they didn't need to actually BE on the job?

Yawn...Just another diss article about Mr. Fred.
