What is significant is that it showed just how close Hunter and *uckabee really are. They are shown bunch together with no other candidates close to them.
Just look at the list of similarities.
There is no other candidate in the race as close to *uckabee as Duncan Hunter. You cannot deny that.
You are obviously weighting your comparison based on personal style and campaign themes. Yes, Hunter makes immigration, military, and trade much more prominent than *uckabee’s populist campaign, but issue for issue, Hunter and *uckabee come down on the same side closer and more often than any other candidate.
When compared on paper dispassionately, *uckabee is the closest candidate to Hunter in the GOP field. I think *uckabee has the most positions Hunter would approve of in the race, which is why he will throw *uckabee his support for the nomination.
You can’t argue against these simple FACTS, so you attack me with ad hominems instead.
But you can’t stop me for opening others’ eyes to the truth.
If everything else is wrong on your chart, punchdrunk, than why would Hunter and Huckabee’s location be correct? That’s right, it isn’t.
Hunter has STELLAR record on tax cuts. Huck stinks
Hunter has a stellar record on foreign policy. Huck sounds like Obama
Hunter adamantly does not want gays in the military. Huckabee thinks its not a “big issue to me”
Hunter is dead set against MFN trading status for China. Huck was a huge cheerleader for it, sending a letter begging congress to pass it.
Hunter wants mirror trade to force our trading partners to get rid of tariffs. Huck has no clue what he is babbling about on trade.
Hunter is the anti nanny-stater. Huck is the nanny.
Hunter does not believe in the global warming farce, Huck wants mandatory cap and trade.
Hunter is despised by the NEA, Huck is a hero
Hunter is a Reaganite, huck is a confused man.
You need to research Hunter a little better. When you say issue for issue Huckabee and Hunter come down closer, that is just insane. What you have to understand is that you are talking about talk. Hunter nor his supporters are talking about talk.
Huckabee, much like the rest of the field has talked, Hunter has done. Just because Huckabee or Fred or anyone else starts “talking” about an issue or states a position that doesn’t mean they “come down” with Hunter. Hunter has “done” things on these issues, he has lived it, not merely given lip service when politically expedient to do so.
My position on the economy is that everyone should be millionaires, but I promise you I have never done a thing towards that end. Huckabee is really no better or worse than the others who try to pretend credibility through rhetoric and position paper, yet, all their histories tell another story. I am not particularly offended by your comparison, no more so than if you stated Hunter “came down” on issues the same as any of the others.
