Rush Limbaugh: Why No Push for Duncan Hunter? (Rush implies that Rudy and Romney are liberals)

"...and start brow-beating all their fellow conservatives on FR with "he's un-electable," or "he can't win," or "a vote for him is a vote for Hitlery,..."

And here we thought we had gotten rid of that bunch of faux conservatives during the last thinning of the FR herd. No doubt we have been accumulating a fresh crop of "moderates", "pragmatists" and "realists" to replace their predecessors.

Battle stations!

Read what is written in this article, resty. We are going with the quote in the article.

Hillary is not mistaken to be a northeast conservative by anyone. There is no one who sees her that way.

Your computer brand shouldn’t make any difference. Please feel free to FReepmail me with any questions.

If you read my original note carefully, I said "most" ideologically pure candidates are usually unelectable. I didn't say all. I am not writing that to be condescending, but rather to point out that I left room for exceptions. In national and statewide elections however, it is rare to find an ideologically pure candidate. That's why you find so many centrists that are US senators. Most states won't elect an purist.

Plus, you've got to remember, Reagan groomed his position to be President for many, many years. Hunter hasn't done that. Reagan was a states chief executive. Hunter hasn't done that. Reagan governed California enough to the center to get away with being a centrist, yet conservative enough that he was still acceptable to his constituency. Hunter hasn't done that. Reagan had immediate name and face recognition with his years in television and the movies. Hunter hasn't done that.

Again, and I'll repeat, Rush won't hitch his wagon to a candidate that meets his litmus tests in the primary simply because it would link him to a likely loser. He won't do that.

I’m not saying the brand matters, but the browser matters I do believe.

I can’t see to click to input my choices to volunteer. Apparently it doesn’t show up correctly on Safari, my browser. ???

Why no push for Hunter? Because he’s conservative, silly!

[Little_GTO]

I agree with your analysis, but I think Rush is also frustrated that the Northeast media is pushing their candidates. Rush gets thousands of people calling into his show. The calls are heavily screened. No one gets on the air unless El Rushbo wants to take the call. This is Rush’s way of giving Duncan Hunter a boost and is an endorsement in itself.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree that there is an aspect of support here. You’re right to point that out.

[xzins]

Why do you come up with this childish stuff instead of just dealing with the issue at hand?

I’ll never understand it.

[Paperdoll]

Gee, you are talking to a computer illiterate! Anyone who is having trouble with the Hunter website, FReepmail me and I will report it.

If you are trying to contribute to the campaign, send your check made out to Hunter for President to:

Go Hunter 08
9340 Fuerte Dr., Suite 302
La Mesa, CA 91941

You can tell them you are having trouble signing up to volunteer, ask for bumper stickers, mailers and brochures.
I also have bumper stickers and mailers I can get out to anyone who needs them.

Thank you. :)

[Shimmer]

Hunter needs conservative people in seats of power to start sponsoring him. It is that simple.

“Hunter needs conservative people in seats of power to start sponsoring him. It is that simple.”

Which is why I have been contacting them:

I also called Dr. Richard Land’s show to tell how strong Duncan Hunter is on the conservative social issues (as well as other conservative issues), and the next week when a caller talked w/Dr. Land about Huckabee, Dr. Land said Duncan Hunter is just as pro-life as Huckabee. I don’t know if my call had anything to do with it, but I’m doing everything I can to get the word out.

I saw on tv that the Evangelicals (I think it was in Iowa) are supporting Huckabee 2 to 1 to Romney, but they don’t seem to know that Duncan Hunter is just as pro-life or more so. Despite Huckabee’s lack of $$, he is doing very well in the polls, and I believe the values voters have a lot to do with it.

I really do salute you for your efforts. We have time. The score card could change dramatically in due time.

[Sun]

“We have time.”

Yes we do, and if we all work hard, we can win this thing.

Politics is so volatile. In ‘03 Howard Dean was 43% in the polls, and Kerry was 13%. Then Kerry went down to 4% only three weeks before the primaries.
