Doesn’t make you a bad guy.
Fred was on the short end of more 99-1 votes than any senator - you know that don’t you? That’s what happens when a man stands firm on principles.
I like Mitt, but I don’t believe he has lifelong bedrock principles. His changing positions on important issues don’t disqualify him, they just make him a riskier choice than Fred in my mind. They’re both damn good candidates, that’s for sure.
Well, I never considered myself a bad guy! LOL! I have been a Republican since the first Nixon campaign!
Me too, but tend to call myself a conservative first these days.
You also have a brilliant mind,that always helps.
Words I try and live by! I have figured out that there are no perfect candidates. Some get close but none are perfect. So the job than becomes pick the best of those who have a chance to win.
A belated very Merry Christmas wish to you and yours Snugs.
Cathy and I have been traveling since early Sunday and I have been completely w/o internet service. Memphis, TN., Holly Springs, MS. (hometown of FNC’s Shep Smith), Atoka and Bartlett, TN also. We had a great time.
Christmas was special this year and I hope all is well in your corner of the world.

I am definitely jealous!LOL!
Its the same with Duncan Hunter. The MSM and even Fox do not forward conservative candidates who would clearly win the general election. Fred and Duncan would re-establish the unity and solidarity of the conservative right, a voting block that both the RNC and the DNC seek to keep disunified.Why?
Simple.
Its all about control of the people. Both the RNC and the DNC do not want the legislative or executive agenda set by the people, in waging the WOT or securing our borders.
We are moving towards a pluralistic , culturally diverse society that has a disempowered conventional military, with very diminished individual freedoms, and highly regulated 2nd amendment rights. The USA is about to become a version of socialist Scandavia/Canada. We will becomoe a completely welfare society.
And we only have Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson to prevent it. Few Americans have awakened to this fact, and go on and on about the RINO candidates as if they did not represent the falling of America.
They do. Every time Thompson and Hunter are frozen out of the exposure loop ( Look at the exposure nutbag Paul gets in comparison.), America descends closer to its ultimate failure as a free nation and the light of the world, wrapped in the false Utopian dreams of traitors and iconoclasts, which will lead to a totalitarian state
The media want to keep Hunter and Thompson completely out of the loop so that this New Utopia will come about. This will cause immense suffering and untold tragedy abroad, and eventually here at home.
Then we will have WW III. I hope to be dead by then.
I’m one of the first on the Whitewater Board. Long time ago. So glad Jim started Free Republic. Have not been very active because of family situation. (husband very ill). This website has really taken off. Happy to see it.
