You got that right, LOL!!!

[Victoria Delsoul]

And based on this article:

I admitted my errors and took full responsibility for it. Now, why don't you answer my questions instead of avoiding them like a typical liberal does? You need to spend more time trying to persuade conservatives here on why the should vote for a liberal RINO instead of insulting them.

Here are some questions I asked you in my previous post.

"Other than the "fact" that Rudy is the only candidate who can win the WOT, why are you personally so determined to support a liberal candidate this early in the game? What sold you on Rudy, and why aren't you more open to supporting a conservative candidate? Suppose Fred Thompson gets in, could you support him?"

If you want to avoid answering me I understand because that is pretty much the typical MO of you liberals here. My questions are sincere, answer them or continue to spew out your liberal propaganda on this liberal forum.

[Victoria Delsoul]

If you want me to answer you, learn some manners.

Once you do so, I'll be glad to respond.

I'm giving you another chance and try again. I'm not afraid to reply, just stop the attacks.

[dmw]

Typical lib response. Suit yourself.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for proving my point.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

And that has to do with this:

Yes, we certainly do. I'll start and end with illegal immigration and porous borders. There's really nothing else that needs to be said after that.

...how?

[Victoria Delsoul]

It doesn't. I based my comments on this article as I said.

It's a cute graphic.

So the Money-Is-God Republicans at the Club for Growth say Hunter does not meet the Reagan myth?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

BTTT

If you're at all concerned about Hunter's voting record, the best thing to do is examine it yourself.

Cherry picking less than a handful of bills that the entire Republican establishment forced through behind the leadership of GW Bush and attempting to use that as a brush to paint Hunter as something other than the most highly qualified conservative in the race is a failed strategy.

"If conservatives could write down everything they wanted on a sheet of paper, Duncan Hunter would be that man."
-Michael Reagan

This having been said, if you count yourself amongst those who favor inking unrestricted free trade deals with everyone on the planet and support an open border policy, Hunter will sound like Pat Buchanan to you.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

CATO and Club for Growth are both for open borders. If you think that's what constitutes a RINO your way out of line.

Yep. Corporate welfare... 501(c) tax-exempt corporations...

The welfare plantation for illegal invaders...

Here is their boy:

[Howlin]

Don’t forget the part where he wore dresses (!) and hung around with mostly guys.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The Challenger speech, when I was 8 (which most public school students were compelled to watch live due to America's first teacher going to space) was my favorite memory as I was just devastated and Reagan made it better.

I was a pre-teen in Middle School when it happened. Some of the students got suspended for laughing at the footage.

YES on No Child Left Behind

- YES on Sarbanes-Oxley

- YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit

- YES on 2005 Highway Bill

- YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted NO on McCain-Feingold)

- Hunter also went 0 for 19 on the Flake anti-pork amendments.

Ron Paul voted right on each of these issues and Hunter voted wrong. Can anyone here name another candidate who did the same?

[Austin Willard Wright]

You're obviously looking for the perfect candidate, and guess what? You'll never find him.

No candidate is perfect but Ron Paul (who voted the right way on Medicare, No Child Behind, Pork barrel spending, etc.) comes much closer than Hunter. Moreover, Paul beats or ties Hunter in most polls.

[LdSentinal]

Hunter will sound like Pat Buchanan to you.

Oh, is Duncan Hunter a Nazi as well?

[Old_Mil]

Oh, is Duncan Hunter a Nazi as well?

No - and frankly, whatever Buchanan is or isn't (and frankly, these days he's wrong a lot more often than he's right), the man isn't a Nazi. Unless of course you can produce some heretofore unknown documentation that has escaped the notice of the media...

[LdSentinal]

. . . and frankly, whatever Buchanan is or isn't (and frankly, these days he's wrong a lot more often than he's right), the man isn't a Nazi.

Like how Jimmy Carter isn't a Nazi either.

[Paperdoll]

It is not necessary for Duncan Hunter to be compared to Ronald Reagan. Duncan Hunter is his own man. He is well equipped - (26 successful years in Congress; a good family man; highly principled; articulate (dare I use that word?); an advocate of peace through strength; a war hero - among many other reasons) - to be Pilot of this Ship of State. Ronald Reagan was a big spender, but he was also other important and necessary things. So is Duncan Hunter.
