Hey, all 5 don’t have to serve, maybe one.
One of Mitt’s sons and family live here in San Diego.
Maybe he could do what Hunter son did, quit a good job and join the Marines after 9/11 and MCRD and Camp Pendleton are here in San Diego so he doesn’t have to go far for training.

Did anyone stop to do the math on this lunatic statement by Paul? That would be a Federal Deficit of $1,095,000,000,000,000 borrowed JUST from Foreigners EVERY year. Our entire Federal budget for this year is just under $3,000,000,000,000
Well now. That explains everything.
You’ve got the wrong guy!
I’m ‘airborne’
Not ‘AirBorn’
Judge Triple-C rules in favor of Swordfished. It is a lame argument and pathetic attack on Mitt Romney.
I agree. This is why I'm not ready to see the field narrowed yet -- I think it's valuable to have a lot of different viewpoints up there in the debates. It's not just a competition among candidates -- we're also as a party working out competing ideas.
I don’t watch American Idol and the others of that type.
Or anything out of LaLa land for that mater.
This is a short attention span world, and it is move on, lets find another game to play.
I live not to many blocks down from the Navy Hospital Here in San Diego, largest military hospital.
A few other freepers and Protest Warriors and myself have spent various Sundays countering Code Pinkos across from the Navy Hospital.
Some of the keyboard comandos on FR need to do the same.
ROFLLLL!!!!!
heh- heh- heh.....
“wrong guy”— story of my life!
;-)
(it is safe to smile at you, right?)
I really have no idea what point you are trying to make, so my answer is “October”.
There is a huge difference between “the Unions” and union members. I am a union member but am at odds with the union leaders and their political stances. There are many more like me out there who are available for the right candidate to appeal to, just like Reagan did.
IMO, Duncan Hunter is that man. He nails the issues that are important to right thinking union members, especially his stand on a truly free trade policy with China, etc. One that doesn’t punish American achievement.
Also stopping illegal aliens and deporting them. No one I know is happy about our borders being overrun. And preventing Mexican truckers from having unfettered access to our highways, undercutting the wages of over the road truckers’ jobs. These are winning issues sure to gain back the Reagan Democrats and Independents. With Duncan Hunter, I see landslide.
ROFLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
well— and your daughter is better looking than me too!!!
(running...................)
I don’t like unions but Reagan was our first union president to the a U.S. Prez.
I worked for him at his headquarters here when he first ran for gov.
Know what I mean?
Um... dang, I lost my train of thought.
You know, here is what it all comes down to.
The best funded, more flexibly funded, most executive experienced, most accomplished, most educated, most organized, most efficient, most solid family man, and least able to be financially bought candidate we have running is not supported by our most fervent base NOT because of his positions. These folks have chosen to believe that after standing in front of numerous debate audiences and giving numerous campaign speeches about his current positions that he will reverse every single one of them once in office.
How exactly can this happen? He, Romney, will take office and draw on the party’s array of experienced administrators to staff positions. The people who will staff those positions will be drawn from exactly the same pool any of the other GOP candidates could draw on. There are thousands of political appointees that have to be appointed. They will come from the party’s pool. They will define the administration. They Will Not Differ From Any Other Candidate’s.
The only impact a president is going to have on the abortion debate will be filling the next empty justice seat. The short list he will be provided will come from that same administration staff the other candidates would select from. And after campaigning as a pro life candidate, is it even conceivable he would select a pro choice judge for confirmation, given that the staff in question would not even provide one on the list? Of course not. How could he win re-election in 2012 if he were to do such a thing?
So it really makes no sense at all to categorize Romney as . . . in Atlanta in the black community it would be called “not black enough”. He is the best and brightest of all the available candidates, and the cause for doubt about him can never come into play.
LOL!!!!
I have 2 sons.
No daughters, no wife. No stress.
