I sent you a link to his voting records. Pick away. I am objecting to this knee jerk refusal to consider Hunter because he is pigeon holed into one of those "he cannot win" nonsensical categories so beloved by the DC Establishment.

You remind me of the "Conventional wisdom" about Reagan in 1976. Reagan was supposedly "too old", "too hard core Conservative", "too mean and scary" to win. That may not be how you mean to come across but that is how you sound on this side.

I am not saying anoint Hunter Now, I am saying is people should be considering him rather the automatically rejecting him since he doesn't fit some preconceived checklist.

My impression is that people are rushing the stage to jump on the bandwagon. If you get it stuck in your head for one candidate especially at the swooning level I see going on here on the FR in the last couple of weeks, it could spell disaster. He may be a great Congressman, but so was Mark Foley, and Newt, but I would not vote for them for President. People are getting too excited because he is your ideal candidate, and there is a hunger out there. He may have been mine had I not considered how the Electorate Votes. We may agree on almost everything, but How we think is not how the entire Electorate thinks. Consider that Conservatives (and Liberals) are a minority portion of America that is why we need the squishy middle where I am sorry to say Hunter will not fly. I wish he would. I want to win everything in 2008. I voted for Ronald Reagan twice when I was still a Democrat, I voted for Nixon twice as a Democrat. I was too Young to vote before that. I never considered Reagan too old, he was always ageless and a Joy to watch and listen to. I lived in Washington Dc when LBJ was President, Robert McNamara was My Boss, two Brothers went to Vietnam one while I worked at the Pentagon. We had bomb threats every day. I never want to happen to these Men and women what happened to The Vietnam Vets because of the Rats, and the anti War pukes. Back then it was just wild weirdos that were crazy anti war people, today it is almost al lthe Elected Rats. We need to Keep the White House in Republican hands. We can use Hunter to slap the slop out of them on the Campaign trail, and get the natives restless, but remember pragmatism.........
