The media reminds me of my husband, who was driving the other day. We left Walmart and were going to get something to eat. He told me he wanted to get on home so pick from one of the four, that were close. There was a What a Burger, McDonalds, Burger King and Churches. I said maybe McDonald’s?. He says...”well I really didn’t want a hamburger.

I hear that; but I’ve never met anyone other than school children that actually watch those shows.

Why not have Fred Thompson bow out and endorse Duncan Hunter?

“...67-year-old retiree Burley Dodson said he is supporting Fred Thompson, another struggling Republican candidate, because he feels Thompson is more personable than Hunter...”

Yeah, that’s what really counts, isn’t it? Personality! In that case, Jay Leno should be the frontrunner!

“She’s is at war. We all are, for the survival of this republic.”

Darn straight.

That’s why I do not have any liberal friends. None.

This country is once again at a serious crossroads, and I don’t need to make nice with idiotic fools.

If the “top tier” LIEberal a$$clowns are our only choices, then the GOP is already fractured and become the second DUmocrat party.

No reason Hunter should step aside and endorse a CFR, MFN for China, Clinton-appeasing RINO.

I feel your pain! lol....I simply couldn’t suffer the fools any longer. Sadly, the PC mindset applies to most of my family.

However for the good of the conservative movement and for the good of America, would not it make sense for Hunter to bow out and throw his endorsement to Thompson?

Why split what is left of the true conservative base ?


The Conservative movement in America and specifically in the GOP has been in reverse for some time. Expecting the only Conservative left in the GOP race to exit would end any hope for the Republican party returning to those Conservative principles that was the base of the party. Duncan Hunter is maintaining what vestiges of Conservatism remain in the GOP.

Thompson is scraping the bottom of the conservative barrel right there with Hunter. On may polls they register the same. Why doesn’t Thompson bow out?

This is a PRIMARY. We will vote the best conservative candidate. That’s what is good for the ‘movement’.

>>>Issues are not of concern to the RINOs, which is why they want Hunter out so bad....make sure there are no choices except bad ones.

The RINOs are learning real quick that the public wants the issues on the table. At the convention Saturday, Christie Whitman's daughter spoke because she is running for congress. Whitman read close to word for word about Duncan Hunter's plan for employee verification process like she thought it up. Whereas Duncan Hunter has been working on this in the Homeland Security Committee.

Do you remember one of the first debates many months ago when Duncan Hunter referred to some of his fellow candidates as , “THE KENNEDY WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY”?

THAT is why Hunter is out of the media coverage and the debates. He told the truth. CAN’T have that! Not to mention stopping any discussion of China and immigration.

McCain, Huckabee, Rudy....look who they’re giving us...LOOK who the media and globalist pundits are pushing!

I think we should start calling it exactly what it is, don’t you? Hunter, as usual, called it first and called it right.

“THE KENNEDY WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY”

California’s Arnold is certainly a perfect example.

Be sure to read what people say in the comment section when they’re allowed to hear Duncan Hunter.

He did. From BLUE Jersey.

This is a new analysis of “no Child left behind” and how the candidates feel about it.

Of course the best answer is Hunters:

Would dismantle law’s “expensive and inefficient” mandates. Cosponsored legislation to give each state right to opt out and “assume full responsibility for the educational needs of its students.”

How long has Mike Huckabee been riding this wave? Not long. There is still time for Duncan Hunter to win.

>>>If it was left to the others, the fair trade, immigration and other issues would be minimized.

Don't forget about Romney singing the Tiger Song.

The argument that Hunter shouldn't be in the debates because he isn't polling high enough numbers is as much a farce as the polls themselves. Hunter was doing no worse several months ago than now but he was allowed to participate then and not today?
