"Hunter Duncan" wasn't in it to win?

He wasn't even trying.

What are you talking about?

Go back and compare the campaigns of Hunter, vs that of Thompson. Hunter announced his candidacy WAY before Thompson, he didn't putz around wasting time, he was working the rubber chicken banquet circuit, he was out there doing what he could, with what he had, and he fought a damn good fight for someone operating on a bare bones budget. You think Hunter was walking around in the winter cold of New Hampshire because he "wasn't in it to win"?

You think that his son registered as a member right here on FR to act as a contact point between Freepers and Duncan Hunter because his Dad "wasn't in it to win"?

What did Fred ever do to reach out to those who supported him here on Free Republic? Compared to Hunter, the answer is *nothing*.

How much do you know about Hunter anyway? What convinces you that he wasn't "trying"?

What has you p*ssed off Petronski is that after all of your sneers, smears and ridicule about Duncan Hunter (whose 26+ years of service to this Country carries more weight with me than Thompson's), it galls you that Thompson has done exactly what many here on FR were predicting, he dropped out.

NOBODY, not even you Petronski, can legitimately make the claim that Duncan Hunter ran a 'lazy' campaign, but there is more than ample evidence that Thompson did exactly that. He was late to run, early to drop out, and those are the cold hard facts of life.

But if smearing Hunter, (the only true Reagan conservative who actually arrived with Reagan in Washington in 1980) makes you feel better Petronski, than have at it.

But I'm telling you as sincerely as I know how, that you do yourself and your fellow Fred supporters no service in behaving that way.
