Sure. Everyone should be able to live wherever they want. If they can't afford it, the government should pay. That's why I have this 5,000. square foot townhouse on Beacon hill in Boston. I deserve it. It's as simple as that.
Solly cholly, DH is not a protectionist. He's for 2 things in that regard. Busting China's balls for cheating on trade (they tariff us unfairly), and not joining organizations that have sovereignty over US trade agreements. Pretty wise. Htis is no Pat Buchanan.
HE IS A REAGAN FREE TRADER WHO DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE THE COMMIES IN CHINA AN UPPER HAND.
Just a cold hearted snake--
Paula Abdul
"doesn't quite meet their purity standards"?
that's like saying Helen Thomas doesn't quite meet our beauty standards.
Duncan WHO?!?!??!!
LOL
me too (he was great as "America's Mayor"..give him major props), but he has never been any stripe of 'Conservative'!
Well he give out free donuts? Then he's got my vote. LOL!
I pointed out Nixon as a form of parody.
Rudyfiles love to point out "well Reagan did this or that" so I didn't want to miss a chance to equate Rudedog with his fellow statist Richard Milhous Nixon.
So a "ten year old article" is extremely relevant to anyone who is interested in his political ambitions.
But which doesn't address the fact you've attached your boat to a very large rock, and you'll let it sink before allowing anyone to save it who isn't "pure" enough, ideologically speaking. If you had an accident, would you quiz the EMTs about their ideological purity before allowing them to save you, only to allow yourself to die if they weren't pure neough for you? Self-defeatism isn't anything to beam with pride about.
You're for Hunter? Great! Get his name out there. Make certain people know who he is. But this obsessive Anti-Rudy stuff is not winning anyone over to the Hunter ranks. It would help to get him up to double digit support before figuring it's time to go negative on the rest of the field -- 18 months prior to the general election, and nearly a year in advance of the first primaries. And goo luck with that, since he's currently polling about six -- as in six people, not percentage points.
. . . and the rent-controlled apartment in which they live . . .
. . . and the government-regulated taxi fares . . .
. . . and those 40,000 police officers that make everyone "safe" . . .
. . . and all the laws that keep those nasty guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens . . . etc., etc.
I'm cementing Rudy's defeat. That's what my intention is. If there are those who can look at his long history of liberalism and forgive it, more power to them. Though the Hunter ping list contiues to grow.....
Those already choosing Rudy come hell or high water are not my targets. It's those who are looking at facts and history to make up their minds.
ROFL!
I really wish I could make a wager with the Duncan folks on how long he lasts in the primaries.
I'm not a Rudy supporter at this point, but these histrionics are becoming annoying.
Fair enough. I'm simply saying your approach here, especially based on the candidate you're supporting, smacks of "I'm not going to win, so I have to take everyone else down with me". Rather akin to a guy on a basketball team saying "if I can't lead the team in scoring, then no one is going to get any points". Doesn't really help the team that much, and certainly doesn't make that player look good in the eyes of the fans, you know?
It's a long, long way to the primaries.
When a politician says he is for "fair trade," obtains financial support from Buchanan and Nader supporting protectionist Roger Milliken , but claims not to be "protectionst," it has all the credibility of a politician who wants to provide a "path to citizenship", gets donations from Tyson Chicken, but claims to be against "amnesty".
Do you believe that Rudy now OPPOSES rent control?
No one has posted more articles on Duncan Hunter than I have. His bio, his votes, his interviews, his platform. Unlike Rudy, there is not 500 articles in the MSM each day extolling his virtues (or lack therof, for that matter) to choose from.
There is however, a gaggle of Rudy supporters here that think posting the daily Rasmussen poll or some such means alot. They post them to gin up support for their guy. I have not once complained, even though this is a CONSERVATIVE website, not a liberal GOP site. The fewer folks here that buy his snake oil, the better. Hence my posts.
Rudy is for economic freedom, how exactly?
No, that was exactly my point. Why can't we look at what he's saying now instead of dredging up ten-year-old articles?
