Oh wow. I missed that. What did he talk about? Did he say when he will officially come out as a candidate?
I didn't catch the entire interview. At least I don't think I did. The part I heard they were discussing the fence along the southern border, it's effectiveness and the law.
Much of what Hunter said was simply common sense, although that is such a rare commodity in DC. I was as interested in the way Hunter spoke as much as what he said.
From my standpoint, I just had never heard him talk. There are countless politicians that see the world the same way I do. I doubt they are electable to national office, though, because they present themselves to the public, perhaps the same way I do. That is, I doubt I'm the most charismatic character on almost any stage.
Truly conservative ideas sell well to the mass market if the seller has an attractive aura. So much of that, unfortunately, depends on his ability to speak. I believe that is one of the things that did in Gore. When he talks he sounds like Forrest Gump. I think the Gump character is a bit brighter than is Gore, and that hurt him also.
The thing of it is, is I think the masses really want someone to vote FOR, someone who embodies a traditional American culture and sincerely strikes the right chord on the majority of the issues about which we fight so fiercely. If Hunter feels about most other domestic issues, judges and foreign policy as I do, I would like to hear him make his case. I hope his record matches his rhetoric.
If he is that person, I don't think it would take him long to leave behind the likes of McCain as if McCain were nailed to the ground. Such a person will gather in the Republican base that has been so badly abused by Bush and Hastert and Frist AND McCain and that ilk. These are people who WANT to participate again but want a reason to participate.
I'd like to hear more from Hunter.
