>>Are you nuts? Whenever Duncan Hunter is given the opportunity, he always impresses people. The problem is that the MSM won’t give him any air time.
I don’t watch the MSM (your complaint seems like whining, since the MSM reports on those who are leading in the polls, and not those who “ought” to be popular.)
I follow what is said and reported on the Internet, and Fred has waxed Hunter’s tail in that respect. Where are all the posts of what Hunter is writing today about important issues?
>>And what makes you think that he would lose to the rat nominee?
Because if he can’t energize more than a couple percent of the GOP, he’ll have a hard time with the essential moderate voters.
I give Hunter 8 years, and he’d better be a bit more prominent in the meantime. Would be happy to support someone like him, if he can credibly explain and repudiate his big spending habits (like Fred has explained his past support of CFR).
Have you looked to see if Thompson has a “big spending” record? Just curious. Did he support any earmarks or Pork for Tennessee while he was a Senator?
I see Hunter as being strong on defense and having backed additional spending in that area. I don’t see that as a problem—in most cases I see it as warranted after Clinton stripped the military dry.
