First, I hope that you and yours had a great Christmas and New Year in your new location.
That said, I'm smart enough to know that I'll never pull you onto the Ron Paul bandwagon due to his questionable record on foreign policy which troubles even a loserdopian like me.
I'm wondering who you are currently pulling for for the GOP for '08 though. I know you were a big Mike Pence fan but it does not appear as if he will be even running. Have you looked into Duncan Hunter? I really feel as if he would be the best man to unite the different factions of Republicans.
At least here in FR it seems as if Hunter has attracted libertarians, social conservatives, and "bushbots". I personally don't see any candidates which have been able to unite people so well thusfar.
I'm still a big Paul fan, but for now I'm sticking with Hunter because, frankly, as much as I love Paul's domestic policies, his stance on foreign affairs drives me nucking futs.
Again, nice to see you back. Hope all is well.
Yes, I am a big Pence fan and I HAVE looked a Hunter. I could happily vote for either of them.
Unfortunately I think Hunter has the same problem Pence does; he's little known outside of his district and a few activist forums. I think one or the other of them "could" have a chance if there weren't too many candidates...give then a chance to stand out and get known.
Unfortunately, this election looks like it's shaping up to be another three ring circus for both sides...everyone throwing their hats into the ring. When that happens there isn't much chance for someone like Pence or Hunter to go anywhere.
As for Paul, until surrendering to our enemies becomes a conservative value he has no chance. If he runs he will only serve to dilute the field even further for people like Pence and Hunter.
