Thanks for the *ping* Pissant, what is your gut feeling about the possibility of Duncan Hunter heading back out on the campaign trail for the Presidential race in 2012?
It was always my perception that there was a concerted effort to shut Congressman Hunter down during the 2008 campaign, he didn’t get much media mention, little ink in the newspapers, although he coined the phrase ‘The Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party’, he didn’t get much credit for it.
Everyone who loved Ronald Reagan keeps saying it would be wonderful for a ‘new Reagan’ to come forward, but I’ve maintained that Duncan Hunter, who originally came to Washington WITH Ronald Reagan in the Landslide of 1980, is the closest thing to another Ronald Reagan as the Gipper himself. Why can’t people see that?
I’m as up in the air on the possibility as anyone, including him.
The GOP, as a whole, are a bunch of dumbsh*ts. That is why you get a Reagan every 100 years or so, but get gaggles of Doles, GHWB’s, Fords, Nixons, Quayles, McCains, Rockefellers, Bakers, Romneys, etc.
Tancredo and Hunter should have been the only two in contention if th eparty had a conservative spine. Maybe the tea parties can wake ‘em up.
