In all seriousness, and yes I know I said I was leaving...but. DH reminds me of the conservative version of Ronald Reagan.

You think that Duncan Hunter is more conservative than Ronald Reagan? That's your right, of course, but the Club for Growth, with Pat Toomey at its head, seems to disagree with you.

I don't want to be a member there. Can you pull up Rudy's score card so we can compare?

Sheesh! That's just a blog and I'm just a housewife.



Go Hunter! ;)

Rudy's a liar and has zero integrity. He stated a few days ago that he wouldn't pay to have his daughter get an abortion but that totally contradicts what he said years ago.

I've stopped supporting Rudy. I encourage you to do the same as well.

According to that website some of Hunter's most 'troubling' votes were No to McCain/Feingold and Yes to No Child Left Behind. Exactly who is going to be troubled by those votes?

If someone had an interest in doing so, they could make a list of Ronald Reagan's actions, statements, or positions that could be construed, at least by some, as un-conservative. I put a lot more stock in Duncan Hunter than in the analysis of him on that web page. First of all, those Yes and No votes are not red-flag, liberal bills, they are things that good conservatives can have honest and reasonable differences of opinion on. I disagree with the poster on at least some of those. Most of the Republican members of the House disagreed with the poster on most of them too.

Click through those votes for the details. Only 8 out of 435 members voted against "No Child Left Behind." Only 9 voted against the highway bill. Only 3 voted against the "Sarbanes-Oxley" bill. On the "2003 Medicare Drug Benefit" bill and the 527 bill he voted with the Republicans (their version of the bill) and against the Democrats. You can disagree with some of these votes, but they are hardly scandalous revelations. And I'm a little curious if the Growth Club has a more conservative candidate in mind. Who?

I read people calling him "protectionist." Listen to what he says before believing that. I agree with what he says on the subject. Capitalism doesn't mean we should accept fraud. Being civil doesn't mean you let yourself get beat up. Freedom of international travel doesn't mean we shouldn't enforce our border. And free trade among nations doesn't mean we should let foreign governments manipulate trade economics to our national disadvantage.

If the Club for Growth prefers bad trade deals I won't take them seriously. Really, if you prefer Giuliani, you should change the screen name, because you prefer a police state to an empowered citizenry.

Pat Toomey is also rooting for Romney. He's not exactly a purely unbiased source.
