The Lower-Tier Blues (hope for Hunter?)
Humanevents.com ^ | 6/6/07 | Michelle Oddis

Posted on 06/06/2007 6:29:22 AM PDT by wilco200

As the Republican primary debates trudge on, second-tier contenders are still emerging from early campaign darkness. But while this break in the clouds gives hope to a couple of candidates -- it sets back even further those who have yet to stand out. How many more debates can Jim Gilmore, Sam Brownback and Tommy Thompson participate in before they fade-out?... ....Duncan Hunter had several moments in last night’s debate that could promote his lower-tier status sooner rather than later. His experience in foreign policy, national defense and his stance on immigration has previously been impressive but Hunter stepped up his game last night through talking points.

>...these lefitst nutjobs the RNC hacks in D.C. are letting run our campaign.<

They are running the debates, anyway. SEND THE RNC NO MONEY. DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE CANDIDATE OF YOUR CHOICE.
And hopefully, that will be Duncan Hunter.

I will support Hunter (already sent him some dough), Thompson, Tancredo, Huckabee, and maybe even Romney (I am a little ambivalent about him).

McCain and Julie-Annie will only get a vote with my feet for the GOP.

“SEND THE RNC NO MONEY. DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE CANDIDATE OF YOUR CHOICE. And hopefully, that will be Duncan Hunter.”

Bingo!

WE need to choose the candidate - not the RNC!

“On H&C last night, Ann Coulter all but tossed her support behind Hunter.”

Laura Ingraham likes him, too, and she helped Senator Thune get elected.

One quibble with your post: Hunter needs to HAVE more name recognition. The fact that he is a unknown is on him; he never did enough to become well known enough to become a “contendah”. And being one out of 435 members of the house is being a light weight in terms of resume for the office of president since few of the unwashed masses can recall the name of their own congressman.

You've been here since May 31st Mr. Newbie, and as I see it, you're hardly a “contendah” so far as pontificating about who is, and who isn't a “contendah”.

Happy One Week Anniversary tomorrow, and welcome to FR.

Hunter is about as clean as they come and the media wants dirt that can be used at some point. That’s one reason I don’t trust ANY of the media darlings.

There are various conservative outlets for news and opinion. Human Events, founded in 1944, is about as conservative as it gets. I’m not surprised they are commenting favorably on Duncan Hunter. Ann Coulter and Human Events - you just can’t beat that for CONSERVATIVE support.

Of the big three, Romney is the only one I think I could live with. Definitely not McCain.

On their merits, I’m liking Romney and Hunter. I hope Romney is for real. He comes across as sharp and nice, and says the right things. I see him as having a better chance of gliding past the media than other conservatives.

Actually, this compilation of Bennett’s interview with Fred was quite good.

Thompson and Hunter would make a very compatible team.

“Hell, if a peanut farmer from Georgia could get elected in 1976, Hunter surely has as good a chance as any in 2008.”

I agree. I was only 16 then but I followed politics somewhat. I remember in early ‘76 everyone was SURE that Jerry Brown was going to be the democrat nominee. Just like everyone is SURE that Guiliani and Clinton are going to be it for ‘08. Too bad everyone forgets about those primary doohickies.

I like Hunter and I like Fred.I will support either if they win the nomination. In the meantime I support Fred in the primary.

We have primaries so the base can campaign and vote for their choices. Hopefully we can do that by “accentuating the positives” without throwing dirt.

Sending him money every couple of weeks, and will continue to do so. He's the genuine article.

Did not get to see the debate last night, but sure do like what I'm reading!

Well, 30 years ago, the far left didn’t have the complete control it now enjoys over the MSM. The Internet helps some, but there is no substitute for living color. Let’s help Rep. Hunter get enough together for a few TV spots, and the money should start pouring in for him.

You know why? Because Hunter is a tough looking real man’s man. He shoots straight and gives solutions, not hyperbole.

Hunter's going to need big money to hang in there. Everyone who can contribute, should.

Yes, it is critical that Representative Hunter get as much money as early as he can. Anyone interested in contributing can do so online at https://contribute.gohunter08.com/.
