Good grief. A WHINO is whining that no one is perfect.
Nice try but it isn't business/finance conservatives that will get Hillary elected. If Hunter is the nominee for the Republican Party I'll vote for him in November. Even if McCain is the nominee in '08 I'll vote for him against any Democrat (while holding my nose). The only people threatening to take their ball (vote) and stay home are the so-called social conservatives who think everybody has to vote exactly like they do, that the Party must suit their every whim at the expense of other Republicans in their midst.
They never learn that hearts and minds are changed gradually, not by the force of their Bible pounding.
You think you're going to ride with Iraq into '08 and come out on top? Enjoy your long walk in the wilderness. Maybe you should start your own Nation Building thread and make yourself feel good. Blackbird.
Duncan Hine's cake mix if full of filler masquerading as the real deal!
lol.
Crash, meet Burn.
Yeah... tell it to my friend "Kelly" who just got back from her Tour.
She says unit morale and discipline was so bad she had to take a "boyfriend" of convenience just to have a protector against all the other guys who were eager to, ahem, "take liberties". Ditched him as soon as she got back to the States and doesn't like talking about the Army anymore, at all.
Pretty girl. Was politically Conservative (I have no idea now -- as I said, she doesn't like talking about it). Thinks the whole operation over there is the worst FUBAR she's ever wasted her young life on.
On the upside, if she had gotten pregnant, at least she could've gotten an abortion from the Yanar Mohammed Clinic in Baghdad, established in 2004 in a renovated butcher's shop offering Abortions free of charge paid for by US Tax Dollars.
Another shining example of the brilliant policy of "nation-building" in Iraq.
HOO-freaking-RAH!
"I'm voting for Duncan Hunter"
Yep...write-ins are powerful!!!
That's an odd statement. When the MSM shoves Rudy, McCain, and Romney down our throats, it doesn't mean we have to swallow.
Frankly, I prefer to do my own thinking, so whenever the liberal "king-makers" of the MSM ignore a candidate, one ought to find the candidate more interesting.

Greetings Valin & alicewonders:
And very likely the same Quinnipiac University Poll would deliver the same results if the question was written:
"If the 2008 Republican primary for president were being held today, which candidate have you heard the most favorably press coverage about?"
Preferring to do my own thinking, and not letting the liberal MSM king-makers tell me, statistically, how I should vote.
Cheers,

Like a fat envelope of money from a defense contractor.
Just a suggestion: get the audio tape version of "In His Own Hand" (Maybe they call it "In His Own Voice" -- the collection of 3 minute radio essays Reagan wrote and spoke in the 1970's. Really remarkable. He was a one-man think-tank.
They should take a Gore run very seriously. And that's not s.
The McCain-Feingold vote is wrong. Hunter voted against campaign finance reform.
He voted against it after he voted for it...where have we heard that before?
Hunter is rated an A by Gun Owners of America(GOA) and an A+ by the NRA.
Have you seen Hunter speak? Have you seen him speak especially in a Q&A, talk format? Have you seen him discuss issues on the House floor on C-SPAN? The man exudes leadership and that is why there is all the fuss. We are too used to Republicans letting the Demonrats and media run circles around them and that doesn't happen with Hunter.
"When is Jesus going to announce?
Obviously, he's the only candidate who will be perfect enough."
Some would find problems with him running. Hanging out with prostitutes would not be of high character...lol. You know I am right.
See post 66 for a current interview with Hunter. It's good you are keeping an open mind. I think people will discover that Hunter exudes leadership and that's why there is such enthusiasm for him. His name is out there and that's a good thing. There is supposed to be a debate in NH next month so you may get to check Hunter out there. Unfortunately, Rudy is passing it up.
Thank you for clearing up Hunter's vote on McCain-Feingold.
Randy Cunningham and House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, R-El Cajon, worked closely with two local companies ADCS Inc. of Poway and Audre Inc. of Rancho Bernardo to make the Pentagon pay for converting printed documents to computer files. They and a few other lawmakers got Congress to allocate $190 million for automated data conversion projects from 1993 to 2001.
Did the Pentagon want this help? No. As a 1994 General Accounting Office report noted, it already had the tools for such work.
But Cunningham, Hunter and their House allies didnt care. Audre and ADCS were generous with contributions and ADCS executive Brent Wilkes allegedly was bribing Cunningham This led to such absurdities as a $9.7 million contract for ADCS to digitize historical documents from the Panama Canal Zone that the Pentagon considered insignificant. This isnt governance. This is looting.
Duncan Hunter, strong on defense...contributions.
Hunter DID NOT vote for McCain-Feingold. Your man, Fred Thompson, did.
See post 87 on campaign finance reform. Hunter voted NO on McCain-Feingold. As for some of the votes-seems as if Hunter followed the party line to pass the President's bills. Obviously he hasn't been perfect.
