Jim, the same may be said of those RP supporters who "crash" other threads, not even related to RP.
The whole mess with this extended campaign has left a very sour taste in my mouth. So it doesn't surprise me one bit, that there are those who will try to bash RP, every chance they can get. It's the other side of the coin, for all the threads about the other candidates that were invaded by the RP fanatics.
Both sides, the RP Fanatics and the RP bashers were the direct cause of THR restructuring their forum and the direct cause of the additional rules for this forum. Not being a mod at THR, the former is just my opinion. The latter however, is a fact.
It is a sad statement that a thread on, say, Romney, can't hardly get started, but that the RP fans intrude. The same may be said of RP threads, that the bashers are just waiting in the wings.
Most here, can probably see from some of my prior writings that I was leaning towards Thompson. Doesn't look like he will be going anywhere. So while I have never made a real statement as to who I might vote for, I'll take that opportunity now.
Should RP be on the Idaho primary ballot, I will vote for him. For all the good it will do. My State is pretty evenly divided between Rudy and Mitt. The divide, sad as it is, runs precisely along religious lines.
My personal observation is that RP will not make the GOP nomination. In which case, I will be skipping the Presidential selections come November. Our Congressional and State races will be what occupies my mind.
