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.
I have a partial leftover 12pack of Sam Adams Winter lager i am not drinking tonight you are welcome to.
Where exactly is Hunter going?
We were told weeks ago by you guys that Hunter was surging and Rudy as sining in the polls.
Frankly, you're one of the reason people are leaving this site in droves.
Stop posting to me; I stopped giving a damn what you have to add weeks ago.
Anyone but Hillary!
Go Rudy Go!
Sure thing! And have some beer! hehe
California Democrats just decided to move the primaries forward, to increase the state's impact on the election.
This could *greatly* help Duncan Hunter, who's a local.
I think he could win.
PS: Anyone know where FReepers can get their ride a Duncan Hunter bumper sticker?
No kidding, complete with the group who are determined that we all follow them off a cliff into oblivion.
"I fear they are all fighting for second place behind the eventual winner, Albert Gore"
I don't fear any Democrat winning as long as we have a good conservative candidate.
He was already a six-term Governor of Arkansas and an Attorney General before that
In February 1975 no one gave Jimmy Carter any chance at all.....
He was a Southern Governor as well.
Look, I admire Hunter, I appreciate his & his son's service to our country, and he's a solid (social) conservative. But let's face facts. He's a Congressman, one of 435, innoculated in a gerrymandered Congressional district, voted in favor of big government pork and programs, and has no executive experience. Now if he would have ran for CA Governor in 1998 or even ran for President in 2000, I'd be backing him 110%.
He has a crappy website and he's a protectionist. He has no solutions to our burgeoning entitlement programs or limiting the size and power of the federal government.
I got called delusional for being disgusted with Rudy. Is this opposite night?
I'm not sure what this means, but it's clearly a Typso!
Good night, and no as sining before daylight!

You'd think by now you'd learn how to spell "Giuliani", chief. Honestly.
It was a good vanity, however.
Some of your points I agree with, but unlike others, I haven't committed to anyone yet.
We'll see how it all shakes out, hmm?
Hunter bumper stickers here:

I don't know who is selling them there, though.
"Yeah, Mister Stuck-At-2%!"
LOL! He was mired at 1% a week ago. He has now doubled his numbers. Has Rudy?
Nevertheless, I will support Hunter as far as he goes. If Rudy or Mitt gets the nomination I can live with that. I don't believe McCain has a chance......
Defeat Hillary and they only way to do that is to vote FOR the GOP nominee, regardless.
I prefer the Sam Adams Light or regular. The winter brew is too bitter for me.
"read my lips: no new taxes".
Yeah, Mister Stuck-At-2%!
He was mired at 1% for many, many weeks. Has he really struggled to 2%?
