Good on ya for posting it, my FRiend! :-)
A year is a very long time, in this day and age.
There's (plenty) of time to make this work.
Keep banging those drums!!
That's nice. Nothing impressive, though. Henry Hyde is hardly "well known" to the majority of American voters. I don't see this giving Hunter much sway.
Well its' 11:45 a.m here in NYC. I think that time is wrong.
LOL! I think this is a good endorsement for Duncan Hunter. But it looks like the Hunter people are going to dump Hunter for Thompson. I see alot of them hoping for Thompson to run - thats a shame for Hunter. How quickly they turn.
YOu've got it wrong my FRiend.
A lot of Hunter supporters could easily support a Hunter-Thompson ticket with either one at the front of the ticket.
It would be a million times better than Guiliani-McCain or Clinton-Richardson.
I just noticed that the Free Republic posting time isn't adjusted to Daylight Saving Time yet...
I can't imagine why an accomplished Senator would reenter politics to team up with an unknown big spending Republican Congressman, on either end of the ticket.
It would be the gravitas ticket.
The one thing the leading dems, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, and Richardson lack is gravitas.
I would far prefer Thompson, should he run, NOT team up with a Republican with a big spending voting record.
>>Since we can't post from the Conservative Voice<<
Really?
I thought generally the publications we couldn't post from were politically opposed to Freep.
Although I can't say regarding "the Conservative Voice", I do know that there are some so-called conservative sites that have links to racist organizations/beliefs.

Gotcha. And like you, not knowing about that site I'm not saying anything bad about them. But it does make sense that Freep would also have sites they don't want articles from - in addition to those sites that try to stop us from citing articles.
"Well known veteran Congressman, Henry Hyde, has endorsed Duncan Hunter for President. Hyde, a longtime representative from Illinois, calls Hunter one of the most qualified candidates he has seen in his long and illustrious career. “I proudly support my good friend and fellow public servant, Duncan Hunter, for the office of President of the United States,” said Hyde. “Duncan Hunter brings a wealth of experience, great foreign and domestic knowledge, and an energetic spirit to this race for the White House. I like his chances, and I like his platform a lot,” noted Hyde."
IT is official Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich not going to Run.

Is that official? - aren't we still before the date when Newt said he would decide?
And normally, the way somebody like Thompson would dispel rumors would be to endorse somebody else.
Henry Hyde is extremely well known and respected among conservative activists. That's who will be building grassroots team around the country in the early primaries and caucuses. All Hunter needs to do is pull of one big upset in an early primary and then the public will hear all about him (and like what they see).
Duncan Donut people?
Your hypocrisy astounds. So from now, spared me your moralizing on the Rudy thread. And remove my name from your Rudy ping list as well.
