I’m trying to figure out why people here don’t support Hunter, and instead choose a so-called “first tier” guy, when the tier system is based on nothing of any substance or value to conservatives. I can see it’s futile to stop it, but I am curious about it.
I like Duncan Hunter very much. However, his numbers in these polls (can't believe them all) have just not moved. I don't understand it either. I just know one thing; this Party will be destroyed if it mistakenly and unwisely chooses a candidate like Rudy who supports abortion, thinking he could beat her. Where are the differences, except on National Security? Mitt is just too much of a PowerPower presentation. Believes this today…that tomorrow. McCain is a wonderful man (I supported him enthusiastically and stupidly in 2000); however, he nailed his last nail in the coffin over illegal immigration and amnesty in this Party. Huckabee, a liberal to the core, just waiting to explode. Look closely at Arkansas. Ron Paul...beyond me to even formulate a response except to say...a sorry joke to our Party.
I had never heard of Duncan Hunter before I learned of him here on FreeRepublic. Tom Tancredo is from our neighbor state Colorado, and I like his views on illegal immigration. When I heard Fred Thompson was being encouraged to run, I joined his drafting website. Fred Thompson can carry the Conservative mantle proudly for all of us. I know your argument as to McCain/Feingold. Every one of them make mistakes from time-to-time, and this is one mistake Fred acknowledges.
Just my opinion of course, would you like a piece of Pumpkin Pie?
