>Just goes to show what I have said all along. IF media outlets would allow him the exposure he would beat the other candidates, hands down.<
Hmmmmm.... Where have I heard those words before? :)
Sent some in the old fashioned way this last week!!!
I just spoke with Allen (don’t know where he’s from) about setting up monthly donation...he said has to be done through the website. Since it cost them 5% each time, I’ll just send in direct to headquarters.
“Problem is, if you look at the others records, you will find scant evidence of any of these things.”
I’d not worry about the other’s records, especially Thompson or Huckabee. The ill-fated Giuliani supporters still have Romney the pro-abortion liberal to feed from as Giuliani continues to nose-dive, so let’s watch Romney burn cash for a while.
The two I listed above will continue to be/become media darling’s and if I were in Hunter’s shoes I’d be trying to be “with” them at all turns and not against them. I also think the Thompson supporters should actually be helping to prop Hunter up every chance they get. IMHO Thompson & Hunter are equal in Conservatism, but not in electability as CIC. So, for either group of supporters to have anything negative to say about the other candidate is not the least bit productive to the Conservative Cause.
One thing I’ve done here and there is to bump both Hunter threads, as well as Thompson threads. If someone feels the urge to start shredding a candidate to pieces, I’d recommend the efforts be put into Romney. By doing that, you’re defeating liberalism and supporting conservatism IMO.
>I’ve been getting comments on my cap as well....making a few Hunter supporters in my office already.<
That is good news, RM! Good for you. Something is bound to break sooner or later, and Hunter will leap forward!
I just hope it isn’t bad news for him. Pray hard for Duncan Duane Hunter’s safety in Afghanistan, please everybody.
Lots of good links over here....
GOP candidates skip Hispanic conference (Except Hunter)

Hey jed. What’s your definition of a conservative?
In case you missed it....Duncan Hunter and Mark Levin discuss (UN)fairness doctrine....
Missed it? I bookmarked it LOL Listened twice. And if it was you who posted it, THANK YOU!
Yep, thanks! He sticks to his committments!!
Thanks for the ping.
It’s so exciting to read such great things written about Duncan. It makes me smile to know that more and more people are hearing him.
Thank you, FB! That’s the way I usually do it, too. If you donated $100 or more, you can request a handsome Hunter Ranger cap. Guaranteed made in USA, with materials made in the USA, by LEGAL labor, and very, very cool!
The phone number is: 1-619-463-3896.
Thank you again.
Good idea, RasterMaster.
Thans for the number....looks like I’ll be making another drop in the bucket!!
Hey there Paperdoll. I don’t make the mistake of defining “a conservative”. There is no universally adopted technical definition for “a conservative”, and I’m not about to try and create one.
I’m aware of the handful that’s been presented at the bug-zapper thread and others, but have not uniformally adopted any of those as my own definition.
That’s a great question to ask, and all it takes is a short time browsing the forums here to find that many have their own pre-defined conclusion and usually try debating within the confines of their adopted definition.
Again, excellent question!
He’s the man. DUNCAN HUNTER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Yours is a good answer, too, jed. I think we are on the same page. :)
Well, I understand the sentiment, but Hunter is in this to win. I’ve sent a huge salvo of torpedoes into the Good Ship Rudy when he was the obvious frontrunner. If he isn’t out of it by end of year, he will get round 2. Those efforts by me and many, many others have had an effect in exposing him.
One of those effects was to open the door for Fred, a much more conservative -but recognized - name. I applaud that for two reasons. One, it gives me hope that at least a faction of the GOP still wants a real conservative. Two, if my guy does not win, I have a solid fall back position.
However, Hunter needs his army to spread the word about the man. And not just in a “oh, how nice, a good man for a cabinet post” way. We need to compare his record, his speeches, his positions with all the other candidates in order to draw contrasts. Without contrasts drawn with Fred, there would be no reason anyone should support Hunter over him, because Fred starts with the huge advantage of name ID and therefore is more “electable”. The primary is about winning and my prediction is that the more Hunter rises, the more the Fredheads (God bless ‘em) will get hysterical about pointing out those contrasts. It’s easy for them to say “good luck to Duncan” as long as Hunter remains in the 2nd tier. He gets first tier, watch the claws come out.
Thank you
