Up...
Sometimes its a learning curve. I hate what I see happening to the fellow citizens of my country. I voted for John McCain and will be derided for it. I understand why. The times are what they are and I am understanding that its hell or high water. We are a center-right nation and the right is making a stand.
Unless of course he was running against FUBO
I thought FR stood for FreeRepublicans? (sarc/)
I voted for and Supported Hunter till the end in the last election. If it weren’t for Palin I probably would have written Hunters name in.
~~~snicker~~~
I’m not either and I was led to find out about Duncan Hunter by his (surely) most fervent supporter, FReeper Issaquahking.
Thank you, Jim. I agree, I agree, I agree!!!
I read you and agree there is a denseness amongst us!
Purging would be sooooooo nice!
God bless FR and the USA!!!!!
AMEN!
Amen thank You .I am in the right place!

No more screwing around with RINOs ... Duncan Hunter in 2012

It echoes everything that Ronald Reagan said to CPAC in 1975.
Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?
Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.
Let us also include a permanent limit on the percentage of the people’s earnings government can take without their consent.
Let our banner proclaim a genuine tax reform that will begin by simplifying the income tax so that workers can compute their obligation without having to employ legal help.
And let it provide indexing—adjusting the brackets to the cost of living—so that an increase in salary merely to keep pace with inflation does not move the taxpayer into a surtax bracket. Failure to provide this means an increase in government’s share and would make the worker worse off than he was before he got the raise.
Let our banner proclaim our belief in a free market as the greatest provider for the people.
Let us also call for an end to the nit-picking, the harassment and over-regulation of business and industry which restricts expansion and our ability to compete in world markets.
Let us explore ways to ward off socialism, not by increasing government’s coercive power, but by increasing participation by the people in the ownership of our industrial machine.
Our banner must recognize the responsibility of government to protect the law-abiding, holding those who commit misdeeds personally accountable.
And we must make it plain to international adventurers that our love of peace stops short of “peace at any price.”
We will maintain whatever level of strength is necessary to preserve our free way of life.
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.
Does this mean I have to leave Free Republic? :)
Hunter is consistent and does not waver. I can’t think of even one issue he’s shifted on. Can’t say the same about Romney, Giuliani, McCain, etc.
Thanks for posting this. I sometimes get the impression that Freerepublic is Republican before conservative. This clarifies things nicely.
