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.

LOL ... okay ...he's winning in the polls.

[EGPWS]

Thank you for opening my eyes.

I have spent WAY too much time deciding for myself.

It's time for a cool change and let someone else decide for me.

Thanks for the explanation.

[M. Thatcher]

I make it a point to not correspond with entellectual lightweigths and hags.

Spell much?

[Howlin]

I make it a point to not correspond with entellectual lightweigths and hags.

Thank you for proving my very point.

[Mo1]

That's what it's all about

By trashing all our possibile candidates???

If that is the case .. then the Dems have already won because all the infighting in our party ain't helping us

Think about that

Can I share your popcorn -- this is already getting funny! Just sit back and laugh!

[Fierce Allegiance]

Yep, not always properly, either.

It's really funny how the most vacuous are the ones who rag on others for spelling errors. When there is nothing else, go for spelling! Yeah, that's the way to debate! Good on you!

"For what its worth, if you want people to take Hunter seriously as a Presidential candidate, you may want to dump the Coulter for SS part of your tagline. All that does is make Duncan look like a joke candidate."

"I am not trying to be snarky, just sayin..."

I am serious about Hunter, but don't you see humor in having Ann Coulter as sec of state? No one would expect that to happen, but wouldn't it be a blast if she was? Diplomacy is her strong suit.

"What completely amazes me is how everyone felt so doggone courageous being united against a incompetent fop like Bill Clinton, but we can't seem to muster the courage to put aside petty differences and unite against a life or death enemy like Al Qaeda and Radical Islam. Absolutely embarrassingly disappointing."

Thanks, Polly. I'll drink to that!

[BunnySlippers]

Y'all are trashing our best chance.

Think about it.

[M. Thatcher]

Just found it amusing that someone making the charge "intellectual lightweight" cannot spell it.

Slightly undermines your credibility, that.

[Mo1]

I haven't trashed anyone

[rodomila]

I know how to spell Giuliani, I'm of Italian descent too. Haven't you ever made a typo?

[Plutarch]

Stop exaggerating, it's 1%!

(Actually, being a Romney supporter, I can hardly vaunt a this 5% showing).

"Next, I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Republican primary for president in the next election. After I read all the names, please tell me which of those candidates you would be most likely to support for the Republican nomination for president in the year 2008, or if you would support someone else. . . ." Names rotated. Rice was included in the list of candidates in 2006.

Damn, i should have stuck around in panama a little longer and picked up those fingers so the surgeon could reattach them, just so you could rag on my spelling. Darnit!
