So he knows what about being in in the middle of a war?
Two Republican candidates have actively fought in a war. Two Republican candidates have children who are currently sacraficing their lives in the War on Terror.
None of them are named Romney, Thompson, Giuliani, or Huckabee.
If the GOP really wanted to convince the voting public that they are the pro-military and terror warrior party, the party to lead the country in the War on Terror, they would nominate a Presidential candidate who has been in a war, and who can actually relate and empathize with active military families.
1. Fred is a GLOBALIST
2. Fred is for NAFTA, CAFTA.
3. Fred VOTED FOR the Chicoms to receive Most Favored Nation trading status
Fred buys in to the Free Trade crappola, while Duncan Hunter calls for FAIR trade. That's the difference!
Call Duncan Hunter a hawkish protectionist, if you must. But I personally can't find fault with a candidate who puts America first everytime. We will never be able to restore our fractured industrial-manufacturing base if we continue running up our trade deficits and submit to unfair practices of other nations, esp. China. Duncan Hunter is the only presidential candidate who understands this and is calling it to light.
I'll concede and must give credit where credit is due. Fred did great during the debate yesterday. Stellar! Magnifico! But until Fred abandons his GLOBALIST ways, I'll stick to Duncan Hunter.
Fred is a good 2nd choice. But a CFR^2 candidate isn’t as good as a stalwart conservative. And the stalwart conservative won the debate yesterday, by an objective rather than subjective standard.
No one quibbled with my analyses when I was saying Huckabee was the winner in the pre-post snapshots of intrade. But if the stalwart conservative wins the debate, we see the naysayers coming out.
Fred Thompson is no Duncan Hunter. He also never showed any leadership in the Senate, except for Campaign Finance Reform and shouldn’t we all be proud of that?!! Just the kind of judgment we want from the great conservative. /s
