I too am “trying to make a difference” a POSITIVE difference. And as far as I am concerned, Duncan Hunter, while a good man, and acceptable to me as a nominee, is far from the most conservative candidate in the field, and he is a terrible campaigner. He is going absolutely nowhere.

The same thing is true of another man I respect and admire, Tom Tancredo.

The sooner these men drop out and endorse someone with a chance of winning, the greater their influence will actually be in the party and in the race.

Now, I’d like to ask you, but I don’t think you would like to answer, and I respect that, but I’m curious. If Tancredo and Hunter should both drop out, who from among the remaining field whould you think they would or should endorse?

I will answer you.

Duncan Hunter will not drop out....he will pursue this even though the 'powers that be' continue to ignore & dismiss him....(just as some of you here are doing)

IF they succeed in blocking him...

..I will write in his name on the ballot.

I am sick of the game playing, I am sick of the 'top tier' pretending they speak for me....(they don't)..

I am sick of the lies and the threats.

If Duncan doesn't make it, I am through with politics, because my own Republican Party has managed to instill distrust that few, IF ANY, are honorable and honest anymore.

I will turn my attentions to protecting my family against whatever comes.

***Hunter is slowly, slowly rising in the polls and Fred is rapidly declining in the polls. Hunter has stayed at 0.1 at Intrade while Thompson has lost 30 freeping points over there. Thompson is the terrible campaigner. If our guy had that kind of resources he’d be kicking around the tootyfruit. Instead we see Thompson picking on 2nd tier Huckabee as a “Prolife liberal”. It’s time for Thompson to drop and give Hunter a chance.

The same thing is true of another man I respect and admire, Tom Tancredo.
***I have not been following Tancredo. I would hope that when he drops he gives his support to Hunter, which seems obvious to me but I’ve seen so many obvious things go the opposite way lately that I wonder if this is still the GOP.

The sooner these men drop out and endorse someone with a chance of winning, the greater their influence will actually be in the party and in the race.
***The sooner Thompson drops out due to his squandering of campaign resources and exposure, the better for the real rock-ribbed conservative in the race, and for conservatives in the party.

Now, I’d like to ask you, but I don’t think you would like to answer, and I respect that, but I’m curious. If Tancredo and Hunter should both drop out, who from among the remaining field whould you think they would or should endorse?
***I would vote for Thompson. And if Thompson drops out or gets a phone call from his doctor about cancer and makes a family decision, who would you think?
