“Perhaps the man of their choosing is not yet in the running.”
I have never heard any reason for Dobson or any of the other leaders in the Christian community, for not putting their backing squarely behind Duncan Hunter. I can’t imagine that ‘electability’ or ‘poll numbers’ (the usual excuses) to be an issue if they are considering promoting a new candidate. has anyone heard of any legitimate reason why they aren’t 100% behind DH? He would seem an obvious choice.
See my #61. He may yet show heathen tendencies, like dancing, or having an occasional beer. :-)
Yeah! I have to wonder along with you, why Dobson and friends don’t back Duncan Hunter. Yes, it does seem like a logical choice for them. I might even try to get a letter off to Mr. Dobson and ask him the question about Mr. Hunter.
Myself, I like Mr. Hunter very much. Why there are not some in the RNC upper echelon giving Mr. Hunter more time on the clock is a grief to me. He would represent a halt to the compromise. But it’s electability (they think) over sound principle. I believe that Mr. Hunter could beat anyone the Democrats could put up IF the RNC would pull out all stops and back him.
The way the RNC backs the compromise-electable candidate only lends to the conspiracy “theories.” Are they really only theories? I mean, now its a Democrat step closer to socialism, and then a Republican stepping in the same foot print only one term later. Then, another Democrat step toward socialism, and the Republican candidate tries to buy the same size shoe with the same tread design, and then measure the length of the pace. The Republican then matches the step, and the Democrat looks behind to giggle as the Republican is stepping on his heals.
The Democrat should ask, “Hey! RNC, would you like us to slow down just a year or two so that you can catch up with us. Next step: bowing at Marx’s mausoleum.
At the same time, Republicans are saying, “If we don’t vote for Mr. Electable Compromiser, we will terribly regret the next decade.” I really don’t see how the slide into the pit can be slowed down, unless a NON-Compromiser is placed at the helm.
Choice between Giulliani and Hillary? WHERE is the choice. That’s NO choice at all!
I don't understand it either except that unlike pro(big)-business, conservatives aren't of the same ilk that supported and donated in mass to Ronald Reagan. Today's big-business conservatives are one-worlder's that don't mind selling off our country piece by piece, never mind letting the flood of illegals continue to cross-over and proliferate.
Duncan Hunter should be a slam dunk candidate for the conservative party and it is sickening to me that he isn't the front runner.
