Are you insinuating Ron Paul is a conservative? Sorry, Log Cabin Republicans are under the same funding umbrella as Victory Fund Democrats. They sign a contract to be endorsed, so there is no possible way they can vote outside the terms of their contract.

Thanks for the response though!

Paul voted for MFN for China and thinks we shouldn’t use sanctions against anyone. Wow. And some think that’s ok.

Pardon, I just came from a Fred Thread. We were talking about Paul here. I’ve no idea what he voted for Vietnam. Never looked it up.

Thanks for the response.

Yeah anytime.Funny how the conversation went from Hunter to Paul.But there's really not much worth discussing about Hunter.Except to say that he's bought into the tyrannical federal structure of the tax code hook line and sinker.That is how federal tyranny works,threatening tax-payers with their own money if they don't do so-and-so,and it makes me sick to see someone(another one) with an r after his name take this action.It's okay when our guy is a tyrant.

Like I said initially,if he were'nt just a RINO(that's republican in name only)he would call for cutting federal tax-payer money for one of the wealthiest schools in the world not just because they happen to disagree with him on some particular issue,but because the federal government should niot be in the education business.That's a pricipled republican position he wouldn't dare take. .

Today on Christian radio, I was listening to Attorney Jay Seculo (aclj.org) who fights for religiious liberty and other liberties, pro-life causes, etc., and Seculo also talks about current events.

I was happy to hear Jay Seculo say that Candidate Duncan Hunter threatened to stop federal $$ from going to Columbia because of the Ahmadinejad speech, then Jay Seculo added, and Hunter should know because he presently has a son serving in the Middle East.

If anyone wants to call Jay Seculo’s show sometime to bring out Hunter’s name again, if you call the show RIGHT AT NOON, Eastern Time, you have a fair chance of getting on the show. I have called the show myself, and will call re: Hunter next time I get the chance.

And you don’t have to wait that long because the show is only one-half hour (M-F).

The number is: 1-800-684-3110

You either don’t know what you’re talking about or trying to be deceitful. You’re the only one who knows for sure.

#5. What is your position on homeschooling? Please elaborate. And how do you plan to reign in the bloated Department of Education?

Hunter: I like homeschooling because it offers a clear choice for parents who want to impart values and knowledge to their children. I would substantially cut the bureaucracy in the Department of Education, top to bottom.


Congressman Hunter currently is the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee, after spending the previous 4 years as its chair. He is an original co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill

Exactly what in post 66 is deceitful,or wrong?Specifically.It's easy to say that someone doesn't know what they're talking about without being specific,

What is your position on homeschooling? Please elaborate. And how do you plan to reign in the bloated Department of Education?.

It might surprise you to know that I am not running for president.You keep asking me about my positions.While I admit that's easier than defending Hunter's position on federal funds for Columbia(remember that,the topic of the thread),it's irrelevant.You just want to recite a litany of objections to Ron Paul.

Duncan Hunter is a modern conservative,the country has drifted so far left that he thinks that threatening to withhold federal money for behavior with which he disagrees is conservative because he feels the behavior is liberal.That's not the way it works.

I can’t be specific about our post # 66 because it was ALL nonsense.

Ron Paul wouldn’t even approve of your tactics.

Adios!

Fair Tax bill.

You shouldn't have brought that up.If there's one place Ron Paul stands head and shoulders over anyone else in the race,it's on the question of income taxes.Abolish the IRS and scrap the income tax.It's bad debating to have brought that up.

You still haven't answered the objection I originally raised.He's using the power of tax and spend to get someone to conform to his wishes.I guess you could suppose that if Columbia were to cancel the speech,all would be well again with Hunter and that he would send my hard-earned tax-maony to one of the wealthiest schools in the world.

Typical woman."I can't lay out a reasonable argument so everything you say is nonsense".You've done well representing your candidate.

Ron Paul wouldn’t even approve of your tactics.

Tactics?You mean making an argument?

Go feed Opie.

Yeah, I thought so to:
I'd rather he sounded more like Paul.

>>>>RINO(that's republican in name only)

I know what RINO's are. Log Cabin Republicans.
