Now THAT'S pretty funny! I've only made about 20 postings mocking the Paulbearers. Five times, I believe, I've posted the picture below of their high-level strategy sessions.
Something tells me you didn't read my entire profile.

Since Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) is apparently going to explore the possibility of running for president in 2008, I thought I'd dig up some of his roll call votes. Like most Republicans, he's strong on tax cuts, but he's been part of the big government spending spree of the last 6 years. He also has a protectionist streak in him. Here are some of the more troubling votes:
NO on NAFTA
YES on No Child Left Behind
YES on Sarbanes-Oxley
YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
NO on CAFTA
YES on 2005 Highway Bill
YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted NO on McCain-Feingold)
Hunter also went 0 for 19 on the Flake anti-pork amendments.
Despite being a member of the Republican Study Committee, Hunter frequently votes NO on their fiscally conservative annual budgets (2006, 2005, 2003...)
We gave him a 49% on the 2005 Club for Growth scorecard. That places him 187th within the House GOP conference, out of roughly 230 members.
National Taxpayers Union shows a more telling trend. He was strong in the early 1990s, getting "B's" and one "A", but as time went by, like most politicians, his score dropped. For the past few years, he's been getting "C's".

Duncan Hunter would make a superb President.
Too bad he isn’t going to win, so I’m supporting the best man who can.
Note you got no answer.
Honestly, I like the guy. But this whole "only-Duncan-is-pure-enough-for-me" thing is getting a little tired.
Hank
Ahhh... so you prefer TN porkers and Global Warming regulators?
I know and appreciate that Hunter is a solid conservative when it comes to values, national security and national sovereignty. That’s why I originally supported him.
But when it comes to popular spending programs such as medicare and agri-socialism, only Fred had the guts to say no. It’s time to put an end to the Hastert era of compassionate ‘conservatism’ and local pork and unfortunately Hunter was part of the problem, not the solution.

And the National Taxpayers Union?
Hank
and how does expanding medicare and the 2002 farm bill fund the war? on the contrary, it means less money for defense.
******************
Is that all you can come up with? 2 votes? Really? Who is your favorite boy? I can probably come up with 20 things wrong with them.
Fred is going no place fast, an also ran.
“He also has a protectionist streak in him.”
Considerin the loss of American jobs overseas, the drain on U.S. export dollars to China, the flood of poisoned Chinese prodcuts, the growth of the Red Chinese military machine funded with American bucks, and a number of other issues, I’d say this is a POSITIVE not a negative.
As for the phoney NAFTA, one of the arguments was it would generate jobs in Mexico so we wouldn’t have to deal with illegals. So much for THAT!!!
I can go to Liberal websites and dig up cheap shots against McCain, Rudy, Fred, Romney....
“Fred Thompson voted FOR his campaign finance bill along with McCain and 9 other republicans.”
That vote alone makes him unfit to be president.
>>In terms of economics, though, I believe the government should have virtually no role. Philosophically, I don’t believe in government run schools, or really government run anything except police, courts and military.<<
That sounds like Ron Paul talking.
I prefer conservatives

As a Lib. troll newbee, you know those liberal web sites well
Fred Thompson is in second place.
Hunter is in about 8th place.
Pot...kettle...I’d like the two of you to meet.
no...ron paul doesn’t believe in our military
Hunter goes too far with it.
He thinks we can return to an 1880’s style economic outlook and it’s just not possible in 2007 - unless we want to go back to an 1880’s standard of living as well.
A-men to that!
You best get out of that glass house if ya keep throwin stones. I direct you to just two years worth of announcements, plentiful with Thompson and Frist bringing home the bacon. 2001 and 2002. You have to go back a little further to find him lauding millions of tax dollars going to the Mouse House.
