Duncan Who ?

I used to think Free Republic was a site with mostly rational people. I can't understand why so many of you waste your time with Duncan Hunter fantasies. Really folks hallucinogenic drugs are illegal and bad for you too. Stop taking them !!! No one outside of the Hunter family and this website thinks he has the remotest chance of being elected President. The Ronald Reagan comparisons are idiotic. Reagan had been a two term Governor of the largest state in the nation. He had been a national household name for over 40 years when he ran in 1980. God only made one Ronald Reagan. Duncan Hunter, although he is a solid Congressman, is no Ronald Reagan. I'm a conservative and I would love to have a viable conservative to work for this election cycle. But we don't have one. McCain is a no go for me. I loathe the treacherous man and believe he is non-compos mentis (loony). That leaves Mitt and Rudy. Newt's entry would hopefully pull the other two to the right (which would be great), and he might even win the nomination (which would probably be bad as I don't think he would win the general election).

That would leave us with Hildebeast or even worse B. Hussein Obama. Therefore, although I'm pro-life, pro-gun, and anti the mainstreaming of homosexuality, I am trying to decide between Rudy and Mitt.

For me the war on islamo nazi psychos is the top issue and Rudy gets my vote on that one.

Issue two is finding a candidate who won't give in to global warming hysteria because that is the lefties preferred path currently to world government and destruction of our economic system. I have to look into Mitt's position on this because Rudy made some rather discouraging comments on this recently (although they were not as bad as originally reported here.)

Next is immigration. We need someone to enforce our laws and get control of the borders. Mitt seems to the right of Rudy on this but both have a way to go. Maybe Tancredo in the race can generate some movement.

Taxes - we need to keep the Bush tax cuts at the very minimum and hopefully get a bolder overhaul of the system.

Judges - we want young Scalias.

Spending restraint - I'm hoping that both, as successful businessmen, will hold the line on spending better than GWB who was a total disappointment in this area.

Let's try to move the viable candidates closer to us on the issues rather than engage in self defeating fantasies of "ideal" candidates who no one has ever heard of and who have never run any larger organization than a Congressman's staff.

QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION - Are Rudy and Mitt in a battle for the anti-McCain crowd? Or are Mitt and McCain duking it out to be the STOP RUDY candidate?

the remotest chance of being elected President.

Plenty of people said that Clinton would never get elected either. Just some unknown hillbilly...

In February 1991 Bill Clinton was a virtual unknown....

In February 1975 no one gave Jimmy Carter any chance at all.....

There's a long way to go in the Presidential race, and Hunter has as good a chance as anyone right now. What he needs to do is (1) raise money, lots of it and (2) keep getting himself on the TV and in the media.

And were it not for one Ross Perot, the unknown hilbilly he would remain.

A lot of us use to think the same thing. Not anymore.

I fear they are all fighting for second place behind the eventual winner, Albert Gore.

Bill Clinton united a broad spectrum of enemies - without him to kick around, FR has slowly devolved into a factional slugfest. ;)

And if what should have been a landslide margin had not been squandered, Ross would not have mattered.
