I heard him on one of his interviews with Hannity I believe. He was asked what he thought of the current field of nominees. He said “protectionist” in reference to some. That perked my ears up quick. I don’t like the implications in that. I had read a few things too, that I don’t recall where, that he is a globalist. Not sure on that one. I will wait and hear more. I really don’t think anyone comes close to Duncan Hunter though.

“I had read a few things too, that I don’t recall where, that he is a globalist.”

That means he’s a shoe-in for the nomination.

I believe he is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. I’m not real intimate with the details, but I’m fairly certain it is an organization that basically wants to do away with international borders and make one big global country...EU on steroids. Seems many academics and elitists belong to this group (Bill Clinton, Al Gore, etc.). Even though, Fred still has piqued my interest with his strong stand on defense, immigration, national security, etc. He may be a prior Wash. DC player, but I just have a feeling he represents many conservative values. We’ll have to see as it unfolds. Thompson/Hunter ticket would be interesting.

I think the word you want is "conservative". You know the free market thing.

Fred never said that. Fred hasn’t commented on any of his opponents. He’s commented on the Dem platform, but hasn’t attacked specifically.

Well, I’m not a protectionist myself, so no big thing to me. I think we have to compete head to head vs the world. We CAN do it. Not in every field, but we don’t have to. Lets use our advantages and win. The US is hugely productive, thats our strength, we’re not cheap, but that’s OK. Let the other guys take the low value add stuff. They can have it.
