Sometimes the listening and reading comprehension of some people who should know better is mindboggling. *sigh*
Here's a sugestion.. Why not get a hobby, like woodworking or bird watching? Then he won't have to sit around answering phones or whatever it is that he does all day.
Rush is an unabashed globalist and Hunter is a nationalist. The two are ideologically incompatible.
In upcoming elections will we see Duncan in "food fights" with El-Rushbo based on this perceived slight, or will Hunter truly let himself become all he can be, as did RWR?

I like Duncan Hunter. I think Rush is concentrating on who can actually win. Again, Duncan Hunter is a stellar conservative.
I was against the Dubai deal, too, but the hypocrisy by Dems was noticeable. They would sell us out in a heartbeat, as shown in China in the 90s, the Soviet Union in the 80s, and in Iran right now.
"I was surprised to hear Rush Limbaugh the other day say that there was no 'Thoroughbred' Conservative in the 2008 Republican nomination Field for President."I care less about Rush’s opinion all the time.
He has done a great job for the conservative cause over the years, but he has a large ego.
Wow! The whole Hate-Hunter gang is here and piling on in this thread. Their dislike of a real Conservative is becoming borderline pathologic.
Hunter is a great conservative voice, but he is too conservative to win a general election.
That's unfortunate for America, but it's the truth
Convinces me, even more, that Hunter is the man we need to see as president of the US.
And, they have a proven track record in that regard.
I don't think it's anything personal with Rush.
Its the same reason why Rush doesn’t back Thompson. He doesn’t want to support someone who will not win. Rush talks about Conservativism works everytime its tried, but he never backs any candidates that do try it.
OK, I was and still am 100% against the Dubai issue in any way. Just something interesting, take a look at a thread that is here at FR about Dubai to Build $600M Hub in US "Corridor of Shame". It always shocks me when I see articles like that and see so many that are FOR it. This is right here at FR and not only Rush and others being for Dubai.
I disagree with them but it still does not make Rush a jerk or those on here jerks that seem to think Dubai will be good for America. I think it is just theyh look at Dubai and our security different then I do. I am extreme about not wanting any dealings with the likes of Dubai, I do NOT trust them at all.
The way I read this article, it also believe it or not, promotes Hunter as an awesome man, strong in what he believes in and will go to the end of time with his beliefs of what is right and wrong. I LOVE THAT! Especially because I agree with Hunter completely!
He truly is the ONLY man that is 100% conservative, a man that will take a stand for our country from the enemies within ( the dems and rino's) and do what is best for America.
The only other man that would be good is Fred Thompson.But this thread is about Hunter.
Here is what I have observed, and it is very concerning to me:
The Republican party has left it's conservative base almost in the dust. This election will be either a time to keep it alive or kill it off. That will be up to how many conservatives wise up, wake up and stop pushing rino's like Rudy, McCain, Huckabee etc. Conservatives seem to have fallen for the BS of the media of who can beat Hillary or Obama instead of staying strong and going all out to support a conservative. It can be seen here at FR, and other places online and in person as well. IMO a true conservative could never support a rino like the ones I mentioned. And if they have over the years doing the lesser of two evils thing then one would hope by now they would be sick or it and see that it is just voting for a Democrat lite.
Now this will not be taken kindly by Hunter's campaign people but his campaign stinks. He has got to have the worst working for him. They have not promoted him well at all. One of my friends has a blog, and it has been almost impossible to post things about him with no videos (recent) and even audio's of his latest speaking engagemnents he has had.
When he first started and even now there is no blog roll for him, like you see with the others. Hell even Fred Thompson's blog rolls are not updated so there too more slacking off for a conservative candidate. And yes emails were sent asking about this and guess what no replies. sheesh!!!!!!
Everyone at a friend of mine's blog is FOR Hunter FIRST and then for Thompson second. Because of the lack of whatever happening for Hunter we are all pulling for Thompson.
You have to understand to give money to a candidate that has a campagin manager or whoever it is that is NOT promoting him to even help all of us propmote him as well, it is only going to make sure that a rino wins instead of the ONLY other conservative running, Thompson.
This is the reality, not some article like the one for this thread that could easily apply to the many even here at FR that are FOR Dubai ports and the "Dubai to Build $600M Hub in US "Corridor of Shame".
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am at what has happened to Hunter because he truly is my first choice. It not only disappoints me but scares the hell out of me for my beloved America. I made my mind up never to vote for a rino again after voting for rino Bush! So for me it is Thompson and maybe if God smiles down on us he will pick Hunter for a VP. And I would love John Bolton for Sec. of Defense.
He lacks support because he lacks exposure because he lacks support because he lacks exposure, etc. He has not broken out of that cycle. Because of his conservatism, the press keeps the lights off the man. Breaking out of the cycle is mostly his job. His supporters can help. Kind words from those who give endorsements can help. Ann Coulter has had positive words. Rush should also. But I'm not surprised that Rush mentions Fred and Mitt most often as they appear to be the most viable, most conservative candidates right now. Maybe a brokered convention is Duncan's best hope.
My only possible concern would be on trade. But who’s to say that China is not a concern and that trade with China should not be an issue? Also his emphasis on keeping industrial skills that are vital to national defense on shore is a valid national security issue - not an invalid trade issue.
This is revealing. The reason these money-first people have taken over the GOP from the top down, is to "conserve" their money.
That's why the can't tolerate either Hunter or Huckabee.
I don't have control over any of these guys. I'm not on their campaign staff. I'm not their campaign managers. Endorsing during primaries, I don't care if it's federal, state, or local, is something that I have stayed away from as a political and professional practice, and I have not abandoned it at this point, and I'm not going to. But in light of this, because I haven't endorsed, there are those of you out there who want me to endorse your candidate because you think if I were to come out in favor of your candidate that it would provide a boost, and so what happens is -- actually throughout the whole fall and the early winter -- people were calling here, "Why don't you endorse somebody?" Why don't you endorse this candidate or that candidate, happened to be their own, and I gave my reasons for not doing so. ~~~ Rush Limbaugh
