Thank you for supplying me with the article. I have been made aware of this incident before, however, as a lowly volunteer there is little I can do about the failings of the campaign. I do know they exist, as failings must exist in all campaigns, and they pain me, for I put in 10 to 12 hours a day on Rep Hunter’s behalf.
I don’t want the president money will buy. I firmly believe Duncan Hunter is the very best man for the job.
The people who are coming in droves to Duncan Hunter are those we are reaching here on Free Republic, as well as those we reach personally. It is astonishing how many people have signed on since the Iowa Straw Poll!
I have found that Rep. Hunter’s appeal transcends party when people become aware of all that he stands for. I’ve had Democrats as well as Republicans ask for bumper stickers and brochures, and this increases daily.
Incidentally, Republican Straw Polls are under the thumb of the RNC, and many poll votes can be and are purchased by candidates.
So, my efforts, and those of other FReepers dedicated to Duncan Hunter are not so absurd as Fred supporters are so happy to say on this thread.
I feel no rancor for Fredhead efforts on the behalf of their candidate, if Fredheads can remain halfway civil.
Politics is a rough and tumble endeavor and to be quite frank I don’t know how the candidates do it. I’m sure you are very dedicated in your support of Hunter and your dedication and labor are appreciated I’m sure.
We are rapidly approaching a come to Jesus moment for many campaigns as the Iowa Caucuses and the NH primary are less than five months away. And by Mid Feb will have a nominee in waiting most likely. At some point all campaigns except one will have to accept the fact they aren’t going to be the chosen one at the convention in Sept. 08. That’s a hard decision I’m sure and devasting for the workers. But if they put out a valiant effort then they can hold their heads high and be proud of their effort and their candidate.
My ultimate goal is to have a Republican candidate that the entire party can coalesce behind and that can attract independents and other cross over voters. The defeat of the Democratic party nominee is very important if we are to have any opportunity to move this country away from it’s liberalism.
Take care and maybe we can be united behind a single candidate come mid 08.
Well here it is again, the feigned victimization from the RomneyHunters. You come on the thread and post this....
Most of the Republican candidates are taking pages out of Duncan Hunter’s book. And Fred will be no exception.
...and then attempt a pre-emptive strike claiming that anybody who disagrees or challenges your position isn't being civil.
Boo-hoo.
