I met Hunter and spent some time with him. I have to tell you all, he is a tough guy. I am not kidding. He commands respect.

There is no doubt that he is not one of the "yogurt men" in Washington, he is very respected man. America needs him as President now more than ever.

I didn’t see any blunders to discuss.

>>>I’d rather he sounded more like Paul.

You would rather Duncan Hunter sounded more like a Log Cabin Republican???

If Ron Paul is so keen on defunding federal involvement in schools, then perhaps he can explain his cosponsorship of this:

H.R.318 : To amend the Impact Aid program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to improve the distribution of school construction payments to better meet the needs of military and Indian land school districts.

>>>My argument is that the very thought of giving taxpayer money for anything other than constitutionally allowed purposes is abhorrent to any real conservative.

You may want to take a look at where all the monies come from that the Logs Cabins use before you go down that road.

I wonder if Ron Paul will step up and support the legislature Duncan Hunter will be introducing to defund Columbia U. He might even consider co-sponsoring it.

>>>The best chance Hunter has is to team up as Frd Thompson.Imagine how many idiot dems would vote for Hunter- Thompson,thinking the old boy had come back from the grave.

At least Fred Thompson came out and denounced Columbia U’s hosting of Ahmadinejad today. Did Ron Paul?

He seems awfully busy to be carrying the nickname, “Dr. No”.

LOL. I’ve read his record and he is pretty good on many issues: Taxes, guns, spending, etc. But a) he is not consitent in his federalism b) he throws in some pretty silly crap as well. He is a loon.

Considering he sponsored or cosponsored over 230 bills in this session, I’d say he is busy.

I only knew of Ron Paul from his essays. Matter of fact, I dare say I was one of the first to post about Ron Paul here at FR at the onset of the election mania 2008.

Then I learned about his antiwar views. Ran screaming and never looked back.

If Ron Paul had a decent understanding of the war against the islamo-fascists, I’d be willing to listen to him. But when you sound like Dennis Kucinich on foreign policy, you belong in the democrat party.

He’s got a streak of reagan in him. Unfortunately, he has a streak of Cindy Sheehan and Harry Brown as well. He’s confused.
