It was one of those 80's classics, now wasn't it? :)

..thank you and thank Roy for the encouraging news...
Indeed. People thought we should nominate Ford over Reagan and, four years later, G.H.W. Bush over Reagan. Luckily the conservative choice was picked the second-time around and history has shown that the be the proper choice. :-)
” Republicans want a candidate they can feel good about.”
Absolutely! Energize the base, and they all come out on Election Day. Remember the 2006 election.
I totally agree with you. Problem is this nation is distinguished into three voting categories. Left, Center and the Right. Left and Center have more in common with each other than any commonality with the 'right'. By Right I am speaking of actual 'conservatives' those who know that to be fiscally conservative requires one to be socially conservative. Left and Center do not really give a rats rear end about social responsibility thus they will always be at the public trough demanding somebody else pay for the socializing. Now over the years to enlarge that 'Republican tent' all manner of social acceptance has crept in and it got labeled 'compassion' and bigger and bigger taxpayer spending. I am not sure there is the mood in this nation to literally change that direction.
Duncan can still beat the RNC's annointee, if we get out and push for him, and if we Freepers begin sending in donations. Duncan is not "progressive" enough for the RINO intoxicated RNC. They will be making a LARGE error by not annointing Duncan Hunter, which would unite the Republican party's conservative base, giving the Republican party its best chance at victory. Without our conservative base, we will have a democrat as our next president, regardless whether a RINO runs to attract moderates. In this election in 2008, there WILL BE VERY FEW UNCOMMITTED MODERATES up for grabs. We will have a polarized electorate.
Go DUNCAN go!
Rudy is the least likely to beat Hillary.
Hunter is the first candidate I’ve ever really felt good about. I suspect that people felt the same way about Reagan in his day.
It would be so wonderful to once again have a President that we can respect.
A Thompson-Hunter ticket would be fine by me. Thompson at the top of the ticket would be more electable than with Hunter at the top.
Ah President Hunter, has a nice ring to it... I like it..
bump!
B4DH !!
Duncan Hunter is going to have a strong surge over the next 60 to 70 days. This is part of it.

Great news! Thanks, Cal.
“California Congressman Duncan Hunter exceeded all expectations” Pingy
But .. but .. but Hunter didn’t play a politician on the Tee Vee - how can this be possible?
I am hoping for a Thompson-Pence (Congressman Mike Pence) ticket, as I want a ticket with both candidates solidly committed to rolling back the role of the federal government. Eight years of Thompson, followed by eight years of Pence would do wonders in getting the ballooning expansion of the federal government under control.
“Duncan is not “progressive” enough for the RINO intoxicated RNC.”
His record on spending certainly is.
