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

Posted on 07/03/2007 11:25:59 AM PDT by Ultra Sonic 007

You heard right.

Freeper "pissant" has been in a discussion recently with Sam Hunter, Duncan Hunter's youngest son and a Freeper with the username "Duncan Hunter Ambassador". He was, for a short time, answering questions on behalf of Freepers for a month or so earlier this year until work at the main campaign office became supremely hectic (also, since Hunter's other son returned to active duty, his workload was shifted to Sam).

However, in lieu of the Weekly Answers Thread, Sam Hunter and pissant have managed to arrange something fantastic, with the support of the Jimrob.

In a couple of weeks, a "virtual press conference" will be held here on Free Republic. Before then, Freepers will be able to ask questions for Duncan Hunter to answer. Hunter will answer 15 questions and will relay the answers to Sam or pissant. This will be before the virtual press conference.

pissant will announce the date of the press conference a few days in advance. On the day of the press conference, the 15 questions and Hunter's answers will be posted in a brand new thread.

Here's the best part: Duncan Hunter will remain anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes to chat and converse with Freepers, answering any additional questions they might have. The full details of the press conference are still in the works, but they'll gel together over the next several days.

Any follow-up questions that aren't answered will be answered by Sam in the following days/weeks. They will posted in the same thread as the virtual press conference.

Let's make sure to give them a warm welcome for taking the time to come here and talk with We The People!

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?

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).

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

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?

Senators represent entire states.

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

Just a little trivia.

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.

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?

I know that!

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

That's one of his best assets IMO!

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!

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

I prefer to hear it from Duncan himself.

His word holds more water than yours paperdoll.

(no offense intended)
