It seems apparent that some around here are determined to split the GOP no matter what.
He'll get it. He's raising tons of money in Texas this week.
Congrats to him. Yeah, 46 is a bit old for dorm parties.
I agree that he needs to get his name out there (Hunter) & it will be doubly hard because the media is going to shut him out. It's going to be up to conservatives to shout his name out & Duncan's going to need to step up the charisma factor a bit.
As far as qualifications, I think Hunter's got it all.
And how many times have we seen this? Every election since I've been here.
I've never seen them quite as frantic as they are this year though.
I will vote for a conservative, but I will not vote for a liberal. If the republicans run a liberal like Rino Rudy I will go third party.
If he hasn't done that in 27 years in the House, how do you expect him to do that in 12 months?
Honk Honk!
I think he has it all too, but he needs a groomer and he needs to understand he can't do it on the cheap.
But, if he cannot... I will vote for Rudy.
Why? Is it because I agree with him on everything. No.
It comes down to this, and alot of Freepers dismiss this.
1) I like him. Personally. I like Rudy.
2) I believe he will prosecute the war on terror.
3) I believe he has enough appeal to bring Independents on board.
4) Much is said about his baggage. Who doesn't know it? He hasn't heard about his messy divorces, etc. Does it bother me. Yes... it is discomfiting.
To me, too many freepers are looking for the perfect candidate. Every thread posted about a candidate is littered with reasons why he will never be elected. No one is perfect and if perfection is our goal, we should just go home. Sometimes I feel as if I am in a fairy tale. This one is too liberal. This one is too unknown. This one is a Rino. This one will bring about the destruction of the country. WE CAN ONLY VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO IS RUNNING! So, until the Stepford Candidate comes forward, it would behoove us to stop tearing each candidate to pieces and when we are through with the candidate each other.
BTW (not directed at you)... If the behavior of a poster can turn you off to a candidate, shame on you for being so easily influenced. Stand up for your beliefs and your candidate. If you can do that without resorting to name calling - then welcome to adulthood. (feels good to get that off my chest)
The party will nominate who it nominates.
I have a feeling no matter who is nominated, you'll never be satisfied.
Good! Now that we have finally sucked him into the campaign, all is fair. The second cousin ex-wife should make good stories for the press.
:-)
LOL! Old story buddy - been there done that in the press.
OMG Put on your radiation suits, the nucular flames will be coming shortly, LOL!
I think he meant 'if he wins the primary, the evangelicals and social conservatives will stay home on election day'.
OF all those mentioned I would vote for all save three. Rudy McRomney. Any of those three win the nomination I bolt. I am now working for Duncan Hunter.
How is the new computer?
