Presenting the facts is not basing.
This is the primary time, and now is the time to learn about all of the candidates, and pick the one that most matches our ideology.

Nope. Now is the time to pick the one who is best able to do the job in the way we want it done.
Competence is more important than ideology because incompetence at that level can get a lot of people killed. An ideology not as pure as you want gets diluted in the give and take of politics and Congressional action and inaction and confirmations or absence of confirmation.
Incompetence flat out kills people, and very quickly.
I'm shocked at the level of ignorance and ineptitude about foreign affairs in this field of candidates. It's appalling, and scary.
One other thing: The ability to communicate the war aims of an administration is vital...an area almost everyone now agrees has been one of the chief failings of this President. He’s fallen miserably short in explaining what this war is about to the American people.
I must say that Thompson’s muddled pronouncements don’t fill me with confidence, either. In fact, they make me shudder.
But, Giuliani or Romney or Huckabee are no better. They’re babes in the woods when it comes to foreign affairs. And even worse, they don’t even know what they don’t know.
If you SINCERELY want competence, and I hope you do, Hunter is the guy:
While the other candidates are articulating, Duncan Hunter is DOING.
Duncan Hunter actually had a fence built which stopped drug trafficking and crime in San Diego, and Hunter authored the bill for a fence from California thru Texas, which was signed into law, and Hunter got us ABS deployed in Alaska, and Hunter built up the defense that Bill Clinton tore down, and got equipment and weapons to protect our troops, and our country, when he Chaired the House Armed Services Committee (when the Republicans had the majority), and Hunter went to Iraq FIVE times, and Hunter did some tough fighting duty in ‘Nam and won a medal, and HUNTER has a son who did two tours in Iraq, including Fallujah, and is now doing a 3rd tour in Afghanistan, so he has a lot a stake personally, as well.
And for the nutshell version of why Hunter best matches my ideology is in my tagline, along with his website so you can contribute to his campaign.
