Let's face it. Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter are the only candidates suitable for the oval office, and they are being sabotaged by absolutely everyone in the media. It’s more than strange. I would think a media wide gag order forbidding the mention of Thompson or Hunter, or a similar order to repeatedly describe second-place Thompson’s campaign as “toast,” are simply not in the realm of possibility. But it’s about the only explanation in the natural world that fits.
The boycott exists across the board. Of course, we expect this sort of behavior from the liberals. And for people like Bill O’Reilly and other Fox News pundits to compromise principle—not too surprising, happens all the time. But conservatives like Jonah Goldberg, Mark Steyn, even Rush of all people?
I’m sorry Rush. I have the utmost respect for you, but your explanation that you don’t interfere in primaries just doesn’t make the grade. You’re supposed to be running America.
Does the Clinton machine have dirt on all these people?
What is going on?
Are you logged in?
What’s weird (and more than a bit infuriating) ... is that FNC and Rush Limbaugh both, seem to be participating as well.
Willingly.
Shhhh!
Hunter and Thompson are the only two viable candidates in this race, IMHO.
Well duh! If it we all knew about it, it wouldn't be secret, would it?
All I can come up with is the rats are gonna draft Gore and we’re gonna draft someone else, too.
Oh boy!
I’ve been baffled about this for months.
Those who have ‘need to know’ know. Those who don’t know don’t have ‘need to know’.
Fred Thompson is second nationally in the polls, but a recent poll showed him tied with Romney in South Carolina.
The problem is that Iowa and New Hampshire are before South Carolina.
You mean like John Kerry's plan he kept talking about in 2004 but we never found out what it was?
Did he ever tell anyone was his plan was?
If not, now that's a secret plan.
Remember, at this point in the race in 1991, Clinton was a complete unknown.
You missed my point.
Bob Dole?
My Crystal Ball says: The Clintons, the Media, the U.N. and the Gore Movement (bowel?) are conspiring for centralized world power, using Global Warming. It also says Bush and the Neo-Conservatives are conspiring for centralized world power using the War on Terror.
Clue us in: How is Duncan Hunter being sabotaged by anyone? How is a candidate sabotaged by anyone else if the candidate has a not-ready-for-prime-time campaign organization?
One talk radio station here in town features local guys, then Rush, then Medved, then Savage.
The first guys fawn over Mitt & Rudy, Rush is coy & non-committal, Medved seems to favor Mitt, and I can’t figure out who Savage likes (I guess because he acts like he hates everybody!).
I appear to be out of step with the official program. So what else is new?!
