Vanna...I'd like to buy an apostrophe...

Instead of whining about me , how about commenting on the merits of these accusations? Yes?
I agree. He's anti-free-trade agreements and that is just fine with me. I'm sure that will piss off the globalists in the GOP, but I don't care. OTOH, it will definitely be likeable by the blue collar "Reagan democrats" and would pull in a lot of Joe average moderate voters. In other words, I see it as a bonus.
His spending has been shown to be for military spending, which is the only thing the government SHOULD be spending big bucks on anyway.
He's still my guy. I never compared him to Reagan, the greatest president in my lifetime, but at this point I'll back him over anybody else in the running for the GOP. I'm liking the sound of a Hunter/Thompson combination.
I like Hunter more and more.
- YES on No Child Left Behind
GOOD! It was the right thing to do.
- YES on Sarbanes-Oxley
GOOD! Enron was a disaster, and we're in a war.
- YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
GOOD! We needed it. Drugs ARE medicine nowadays.
- YES on 2005 Highway Bill
DON'T CARE.
- YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted NO on McCain-Feingold)
DON'T LIKE IT.
- Hunter also went 0 for 19 on the Flake anti-pork amendments.
HE SPENDS MONEY. THEY ALL DO.
He votes against offshoring jobs to poor countries leaving Americans in desperate share. Good.
Personally I like Rudy and it sounds like he did a great job as mayor of NY but that doesn't mean I want him as president. The bulk of the USA will never be confused with NY.
Of course a lot of people will like it...he's their boy.
Vanna...I'd like to buy an apostrophe...
Obviously, he's the only candidate who will be perfect enough.
Not anymore. James Cameron took care of that. You must be thinking of Obama.
Gosh, Kevmo...it's been a whole 5 minutes since you last posted that. Get with it.
Rudy cut tax rates, and the money poured in.
He spent a lot of it to hire more policemen, and arrest all the criminals that the libs had ignored for years.
"When is Jesus going to announce?"
Spoke with him yesterday, he's not running.
When the liberal media wants Guliani instead of Hunter... I'll go with Hunter.
But I really hope Cheney retires and Rice gets appointed, and runs with Newt Gingrich (a guy can dream, can't he?)
On spending and Campaign Finance Reform, Hunter is a liberal.
I'm voting for Duncan Hunter unless someone better steps forward to run, which I do not see happening. I surely could not under any circumstance support Rudy, McCain, Romney, or Brownback.
"Maybe if some weren't trying to pass him off as "another Reagan" he would do better. He is unique, he doesn't need to be the new Reagan. Now them will be so let's just stop the comparisons!"
That is a good point, a "New Ronald Reagan" would not even be called the new Ronald Reagan, he would already be known from his impact as his own man, and have his own reputation, having cut his own swath, and earned his own base.
(Some where in there is some sense I think.)
I'll only believe it if John Edwards says it's so! He seems to have Jesus on his speed dial.
A man who is
For strong national defense--loves and supports the military
For protection of the unborn and the sanctity of human life
For real border security, including a fence and fair treatment of our Border Patrol
For traditional family values
For full 2nd Amendment rights for citizens
Sounds like a very questionable candidate--
Again with the apostrophe thing? Stick to issues, please. It doesn't speak well of you.
As for the topic...yes, I do agree that Hunter's fiscal conservatism is his weak spot. He's pro-tax cuts, and his position on trade seems to be mostly against those who have hostile intentions towards us (he did vote for a free trade deal with Austrailia).
Heads and shoulders above the other candidates that are running at the moment though. One could only hope that he'll be better, but his positives are far greater than his negatives (as the case was with Reagan).
I don't know if I recall ever claiming Hunter is another Reagan; honestly, I wouldn't know, as I was born in 88'.
But I think Hunter's the right man for the job in these troubled times.
Don't you have a ping list?
Soource?
