Duncan Hunter: Welcome to Free Republic ("Virtual Press Conference" to be held with Freepers)

[Paperdoll]

I think Abraham Lincoln was better known for a great deal more than any failed office run. Who are you to diss anyone who has served their nation as admirably as Lincoln, and even paid the price for his accomplishments anyway? You’ve got to be one of those die hard Confederalists, right?

[MountainFlower]

add me to the ping list for this, please!!! how cool!

No. He was an obscure prairie lawyer, but his Republican ideals gained a lot of publicity from the Douglas-Lincoln debates.

The problem with being a Representative is that you are one of 435, representing a small area. Senators represent entire states. The difference in prestige is not insignificant - and it creates major advantages for Senators even over Representatives.

You really need to be less defensive. The question is an honest one - one that should be asked of any of the potential nominees who have no executive experience. There was no offense intended, nor any specific agenda behind the question. It just is an opportunity to ask Rep. Hunter to address a weak point in his resume compared to that of Governor Romney or Mayor Giuliani (each of whom have other weak points).

FYI PING!!

This is wonderful! Any conservative candidate worth his salt should be doing this. Bookmarked for later.

Duncan Hunter Press Conference on FR

Ping!

[EGPWS]

Start asking!

Duncan, your mindset and political demeanor is so impressive.

Why are you not the front runner to date in your endeavor to become POTUS?

[Greg F]

bump

[EGPWS]

Senators represent entire states.

When did a Senator last achieve the position of POTUS and who was it?

Just a little trivia.

[Paperdoll]

>It just is an opportunity to ask Rep. Hunter to address a weak point in his resume....<

I question your motive in asking such a question.

BTW, I am not on the defensive, because I have no reason to be. I am simply correcting your misinformation.

[barker]

This news is hugh and series. The more I hear from Mr Hunter the more I like and respect him.

[EGPWS]

So what are you trying to prove, jude?

That the glass can be half empty instead of half full if one wants it to be perhaps?

[EGPWS]

The more I hear from Mr Hunter the more I like and respect him.

What took you so long?

[Paperdoll]

:) There is no halfway with Rep. Hunter.

[EGPWS]

There is no halfway with Rep. Hunter.

I know that!

He "ain't" wishy washy because of political confusion!

That's one of his best assets IMO!

[Paperdoll]

>Duncan, yourmindset and political demeanor is so impressive. Why are you not the front runner to date in your endeavor to become POTUS?<

Well, the George Soros owned MSM just might have something to do with that, although Rep. Hunter is making more appearances on TV lately. The media reports only on whom they want to be the nominee, for whatever reason.

As we approach the 300,000 mark here at FR, and considering there are 300,000,000 Americans we stand a pretty good chance at getting the word out! Talk to your neighbors people!

Duncan Hunter is the only one who really subscribes to Reaganomics.

Money fuels the campaign, but it takes name recognition to get that primary! Spread the name, near and far!

[Calpernia]

There's no need to fear! Army Ranger is here!

Wahoo, Wahoo, Wahoo,

Immigrants crawl beneath a fence
It's very wrong, it makes no sense
We must act now and stop this mess
It puts democracy to the test
With Duncan Hunter!
Hunter, Hunter, Hunter

Army Ranger, Senator,
vote for him and he'll fight all that rob and plunder!

with Duncan Hunter!
Hunter, Hunter, Hunter

[WalterSkinner]

..just for you...

I prefer to hear it from Duncan himself.

His word holds more water than yours paperdoll.

(no offense intended)
