>It’s about savaging the most conservative candidate in the race......<

Duncan Hunter remains king of the hill on conservatism, Pet. Freddie is just a pretender to the throne.

If this is an immigration thread, then what does an unconfirmed sex scandal rumor about an unidentified candidate have to do with anything?
***My post was a response to this statement in post #2:
I find it odd that FDT is now dropping in the polls after getting tough on illegals....

My post was withdrawn, so it looks as if we have some kind of answer about who was being abusive here.

I apologize to you Fred followers. That was apparently a smear.

I have to admit that I’m still scratching my head how that is considered abuse when we see so much traffic coming down the other side of the street, but I’ll stick around to learn what the ground rules are for debating. You’d think after a decade of Freeping that it would be clear.

I pushed the button on that one. I suspect others did as well.

"Hunter..."

"No, Hunter!"

"H-U-N-T-E-R..."

"No, one t...."

"No not Doug, DUNCAN..."

Sorry, couldn’t resist...

>As his own staff has admitted, he hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell.<

Scum, Pet? Know what happens when you point your finger?
In your above statement you perpetuate a rumor that the staff member has publicly denied ever saying.

Jim Rob, I would ask for some clarification on this issue in terms of how it is determined to be a smear.

I have apologized for my remarks.

The same level of comments were appearing on the thread where the LATimes was withholding a story about a leading candidate, and even the posters on this thread acknowledge it could be Fred. It could be any of the leading candidates.

I’ve stayed away from the Fred threads in order to not knock down a good conservative. My candidate has criticized Fred for having a Road-to-Des-Moines conversion on this issue. A poster in post #2 wondered why Fred’s been falling in the polls, and that is a legitimate suggestion. It’s a question that was asked & answered. If this is a smear, why are not the Fred suppositions on the LAT rumor thread being pulled?

I have no intention of carrying that conversation to any other Fred threads unless my candidate takes the lead and criticizes him on another issue.

So, yeah, Freddie. Flip flop. Hit the immigration issue hard. :)

While not his highest priority, and despite the distortion of his record via selective reporting from NumbersUSA, Thompson was still a strong supporter of measures to stop illegal immigration while serving in the Senate.

There's no flip-flop here, just more desperation from supporters of a hopeless candidate.

Yes, and so would I. After I scrubbed the tortilla dough from my fingers, I'd hold a press conference...

Yes, quite.
***but it isn’t.

I once had a comment pulled because someone was so thin-skinned they couldn’t handle a funny light-hearted jab from http://www.blogthings.com

So, no, it is not clear.

"I’ve stayed away from the Fred threads in order to not knock down a good conservative."

Can I quote you on that in regards to our earlier conversation....

Looks like we have two F1 cars indeed...
