I could vote for this guy. He would still probably do things with the federal drug war that would piss me off, but he's a step in the right direction, a step in the conservative direction more than Bush was.
Duncan Hunter looks like a good person. That doesn't mean he will win the primaries, although I'm sure he could beat any Democrat in the Presidential race.
I was thinking the same thing, or Steele
Duncan Hunter on Fox and Friends - beats McCain in Phoenix straw poll
He'll be formally announcing tomorrow in South Carolina. Stay tuned to his site, and spread the word!
Let's get the word out to RUSH LIMBAUGH , SEAN HANNITY, and the rest of the Conservative talk shows who we know would support him.,,,,,, he needs the national exposure and he deserves it.
The party base should rally around this guy before McCain or Guliani.
Mega-BUMP.
There's alot of time to do just that too.
Oh...and a word to any resident RNC employed lurkers, just in case your reading this...you want to see the cash flowing in in '07 and '08? Throw your support and resources on Hunter. There's alot of people (self included) that stopped financial support to the RNC over the past couple of years for various reasons. Now you know how to fix that.
Voted YES on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration.
I vote NO on Big Government Statists.
I say,,, that they ( The GOP front runners ) stay home, because, if Duncan Hunter gets more support, and more people back him, then HE will be our man and standard bearer for 2008.
Too bad. I'd like to see him as Mr. President with Ron Paul for VP maybe.
