As if Duncan Hunter has the slightest chance of winning the nomination?
Personally, I’m ashamed of some of my fellow Christians who are favoring Huckabee, aka Bush III. Apparently they haven’t had enough big government conservatism. Yeah, Bush III is going to right all the moral wrongs and fix our society with MORE government. Yikes!
Then you have those so-called pragmatic folks who support Rudy, because “he can win.” What good is winning if you sell out every single conservative principle worth having (except MAYBE fiscal conservatism).
Of course Mitt has his share of support, too. He’s so handsome, and he really WANTS to be president (you can tell by his aggressive campaigning). Let’s just forget his recent conversion to conservative principles and his membership in a cult (albeit one with decent family values).
Need I really discuss those who are still standing by McPain?
Finally we have Fred Thompson, the only one of the top candidates who best supports conservative values AND has the record to back it up. I shouldn’t have to sell Fred Thompson to any conservative. All they have to do is step back, take a fresh look at the other top candidates (sorry Hunter), and ask themselves if their guy REALLY supports limited government and individual liberty? The answer is blatantly obvious.

***Kerry was at ~4% also this time around in 2003, and no one had heard of Jimmah Carter at this point in time before his race. Voters are just now starting to pay attention.

***The support for Huckabee is coming from the evangelicals. Dobson recently came out ‘vigorously’ denying that he endorsed Huckabee, and he has been silent on Hunter.
Just think if he endorsed Hunter this week.

Generalized outcomes of the meeting:
Most in the room supported Mike Huckabee. A few important figures supported Duncan Hunter.
Is Bush a no-compromise Israli supporter who adamently opposes carving up existing Israeli land to build a "Palestine state" inside? Huck is.
Is Bush a hard core supporter of the FairTax and working tirelessly to lobby that the national income tax be abolished and replaced with a retail sales tax nationwide? Huck is.
Is Bush a no-compromise huge second amendment supporter who has pledged to never sign an assault weapons ban into law? Huck is.
Is Bush loudly and publically denouncing the L.O.S.T. treaty as an assault on American soviegnity? Huck is.
Did Bush personally welcome an invitation from FreeRepublican and appear as our guest of honor to support this forum during his inagural? Huck did.
Sorry, the argument that Huckabee is a clone of Bush just doesn't hold water. The argument that "the same people" who hyped Bush are hyping Huck doesn't hold water. The type of "religious right" voters that like Huckabee were drawn to Gary Bauer in the 2000 primary, NOT Bush.
Personally, I think the oh so great annointed conservative savior Fred Thompson's adminstration would reselmble "Bush III" more than Huck ever would. Fred was definitely a go-along, get-along status quo guy in Washington who enacted McCain-Feingold and the rest of that stuff into law. I can't think of a single area where Fred and George W. would differ, except Fred supporters get us vague promises of "federalism" over and over again and pretend Fred's immigation polices are different (even though both Bush and FDT have happily supported amnesty in the past but always claim to be adamently against it and for "securing the border" in public speeches)
