Nobody? Then what’s up with the vultures flocking around Hunter threads? Hunter is a social conservative and this is a social conservative forum, so it’s a head scratcher to me why he doesn’t get support. Of course, I’ve seen this site become the de facto gathering place for people with an R in their party choice, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are socially conservative.
Those of us pointing Hunter’s lack of electability are simply trying to get conservatives to unite around a single, electable candidate (Thompson) ....
***We went through the same nonsense with tootyFruityRudy followers. Focus your efforts on the nonconservative candidates. If Hunter stays down, that will be the end of it. I am coming to the conclusion that the reason why there is so much invective aimed at Hunter is because people disagree with him. I saw the same thing on tootyrudy threads, and they wouldn’t own up to it.

As I said - they flock, not to tear down Hunter, but to rally conservative support around a single, electable conservative candidate.

Hunter isn’t the only conservative in the race ... there are equally conservative candidates with a FAR better shot at winning this thing.
Is it not possible that a “conservative” would support someone other than Duncan Hunter? If not, there are ridiculously few actual “conservatives” in this country anymore ... Hunter’s support is negligible.
I am socially conservative ... and I don’t support Duncan Hunter. I refuse to dedicate my time and money to a candidate, no matter how perfect, whose chance of getting elected is slightly less than Terry Bradshaw’s.
>> Focus your efforts on the nonconservative candidates.
United conservatives can eliminate the non-conservative candidates more easily - but conservatives divided among several candidates can be more easily defeated in the primary. Plus, there aren’t many Rudy supporters here to argue with ... and I grow tired of arguing with the Paul supporters. So - I argue with well intentioned but tragically misguided Hunter supporters.

I’ve seen little issue-disagreement with Hunter on this forum. Strategically, however, Hunter is a lousy choice. Conservatism is better served when conservatives unite behind a conservative candidate with a legitimate shot at victory.
However - in either case, I suggest the implementation of Reagan’s 11th commandment (Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican). Lets not rip to shreds our eventual conservative standard-bearer - whether that be Thompson, Romney or Giuliani ... lest we be left with President Hillary Clinton - God help us.

The globalists, freetraders, and OBL folks are doing everything they can to destroy Hunter--and eliminate his voice from the debate as soon as they can.
