I agree 100%.
I have a girlfriend that thinks the same way. She believes only Rudy can beat Hillary! I see little difference between the two. We cannot, will not, win out of fear, only out of moral courage. You don't fight evil with “sorta evil”, especially against the beast!
After conservatives realize that Giuliani, Romney and Thompson have no clothes, Hunter will quickly rise to the top. (They’ve already known for a very long time that McCain and Huckabee haven’t had a stitch on.)
>Hunter is a second tier candidate. He has no chance of winning. Ditto Huckabee, Tancredo, and Paul.
Yeah. We should vote for one of the “front runner” candidates who will ...
1) run up the national debt
2) leave the borders open
3) abandon the unborn children to abortion
See my tagline ...
“And what’s he got to show for it? He’s not known to be a leader”
I disagree. He is a very capable leader. What he isn’t is someone who slaps himself on the back and tells everyone, “Look at me, ain’t I great?”.
Maybe it’s time for us to move beyond the political grandstanders and those who owe favors to everyone and their brothers. Maybe it’s time we elected a man who doesn’t bow before the political elite. Duncan Hunter is his own man, he isn’t owned by anyone else. If he was, his election coffers would be full. Big donors don’t donate, they buy.
“I don’t recall ever having harassed you? The article wasn’t “harassing” as far as I can tell? The obvious question here is, “what are you talking about?”. Either I have missed something here, or you have blown a headpipe somewhere along the way.”
No need to be so defensive.
i think you’ve “blown a headpipe somewhere along the way.”
HOWEVER...
The office of President is not the office of Congressman.
You have to demonstrate an even approach to ALL topics that are of interests to all voters, not just hardcore conservatives and FR members. Its a national office.
As far as being all those men, while that’s a fun thought and he is a great guy, I think that is a bit much. Even if he was any one of them it would be enough I should think.
Hunter is sounding better all the time. Some of you wahoos on the other hand.....
Please keep the discussion about the candidates, not your ego, some other poster’s ingnorance, or someone’s arrogance or such.
I think, if I have this right, you are all expressing opinions about presidential candidates (or supposed to be). Enlighten me, but don’t tell me or others here we are morons.
Stick to facts if you want to tell someone they are wrong.
I have seen and heard and read Duncan Hunter address a myriad of other problems in the country, and address them with his typical cool head and steady handed solid solutions. He is the ONLY candidate qualified to be president on either side of the aisle today. Period. Got that? Good. :)
Way to go, ups! :)
You didn’t read what I said. I didn’t say that Hunter “isn’t a leader.” I said that he’s “not known to be a leader.” He’s hidden himself under a bushel basket for all of his years in the House. He hasn’t done anything to put himself in front of the American people so that they know who he is.
BUMP!
I haven’t decided who to vote for yet AuntB but I like your attitude. It is direct on. This is the PRIMARY for crying out loud. You don’t listen to the LIBERAL Media about who can win in the PRIMARY. YOU VOTE WHO YOU THINK IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY. DONT LISTEN TO PUSH POLLS.
Ravenstar
It sure ain’t!!...!!!!
And Thompson is? lol!
No one knows who he is outside of California mostly.
And few knew of Thompson before his TV show. Does that make him any more quailfied?
If wanted to run for POTUS, he should have done the necessaries beginning several years back.
Is that what Thomopson did? No. His Hollywood experience is just that. It no more qualified him to be POTUS than Martin Sheen's playing a president qualified him.
BTW, your mathematics is misleading. Thompson has more than "8 years" of political experience.
Really? He has 8 yeras in the senate, nothing more. Unless you count lobbying as political experience which I don't.
>As far as being all those men, while that’s a fun thought and he is a great guy, I think that is a bit much. Even if he was any of them it would be enough I would think.<
So Put the candle back! (Oh, excuse me, I am watching Young Frankenstein :) )
Since he happens to be all three of them, can we count on your vote?
I stated the facts that exist. Nobody knows who Hunter is. You can blow all of the smoke that you want about Thompson, it won’t change Hunter’s situation. Add that to a poor campaign organization for a national election, and you have Hunter in the single digits.
Duncan Hunter is going before the American people now with a very fine resume. A lifetime of achievements that would make any conservative proud.
Many people know who the other candidates are but can they tell you what they have done? Can they tell you why their past deeds makes them uniquely qualified to be POTUS?
Name recognition has gotten the frontrunners only into the twentysome percentile. Why can’t they grow beyond that? If they threw Paris Hilton into the mix, I would bet she would also poll in the twentysome percentile. Would that mean she should be president?
btw, she could possibly beat Hillary, if that is our only criteria.
Perhaps.
We don't get the best, we get the Party Nominee.
Then we vote for the nominee against Hillary.
That's how it works. Did you know?
“So Put the candle back!”
LOL!! I love that movie! You must be watching TVLand.
