I have yet to understand how Duncan Hunter came to be perceived as the "true conservative" alternative to McCain, Guliani, and Romney. I am fairly familiar with the membership of the House, and when I think of principled, articulate, inspiring, "movement" conservatives in the House that might make a good conservative presidential candidate, Duncan Hunter simply does not come to mind. He blends into the crowd. Just another House Republican. Some of the facts listed in this column confirm my suspicion.
Since you support Ron Paul and do not support the war you have just given the best support to Duncan Hunter.
You and the other traitors to America who support Paul should start your own site.
Duncan Hunter is a social conservative. This is a social conservative site.
Perhaps you never read this statement from the front page link on the website. If you read it and still fail to see why Duncan fits that bill, then I give up on you. It's some weird game that I don't care to play. Go and redefine social conservatism somewhere else.
Statement of Jim Robinson, Founder of Free Republic:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.
Blends into the crowd? Who was the guy front and center pushing back into Murtha's and Kerry's cut and run tactics? Who forced Murtha's cut and run bill to the house floor for a vote? Who reigned in Pence when he went off the reservation seeking a "comprehensive" immigration bill with the Senate, and instead forced through the border fence bill which the President signed? Who is THE one guy the media comes to when it wants real military expertise from a congressman? Who kept Reagan's SDI alive when the Clintonoids were trying to gut it? Who led the fight against the ACLU's effort to remove the Mt. Soledad Cross war memorial.
Hunter has been there. He just does not get fawning press coverage.
