:) Schwit schoo!!(or something to that effect)
That’s a great story! And it fits the picture of Duncan Hunter I have in my mind. Thanks for sharing!
Gesundheit
Way to go!! All because you planted a seed!
“Welcome to FR, Bruce! “
Wow, same here, Lotus Super7! And your first post is to me! I am honored! You must be on the east coast, right?
LOL! Obviously, I didn’t do that right!
Too bad you feel it necessary to pour cold water on the choice of a fellow FReeper. Do you get a special kick out of doing that?
That is one of my favorite new blogs! I’ll bet the owner of that site is getting ready to unload as well!
Welcome to FR. Glad you stopped by.
Too bad you feel it necessary to pour cold water on the choice of a fellow FReeper.
IMHO, the parings, depending on who wins look like this for prez/vp
Romney/Huckabee
Thompson/ romney
Guiliani/Huckabee
Bumnp! Indeed, a time for choosing...
You could be right. Duncan Hunter is my first choice, but it is getting frustrating. I am not ready to give up and move on to someone else just yet though. If we eventually need to move on to our next choice, then I would like to see Duncan as VP. (or Secretary of Defense)
Received the updated Semper Fi name and address list today - 534!!! Not counting other friends, family and neighbors - plus Paws in the Park doggie lovers.
We used to be dems too. I wouldn’t say we were die-hards. It was just a nasty habit because our parents always voted democrat. When I really started paying attention to what they were doing back in the early ‘90s I started thinking they were more like communists. Wanted no part of that.
What is the Semper Fi list?
*bump*
“a Congressman hasnt been ELECTED president in 100+ years.”
I certainly can’t argue with that, it is an indisputable fact. There has, without doubt, been an obvious and fulgent trend the past century and you’re absolutely correct. One would be remiss not to point out some of the other trends during the past century.
Like abortion, that seems to be a trend and to add injury to insult, taxpayer-funded abortion. Loss of individual freedoms and a decline in rugged individualism, another centenary trend.
Socialism and nanny-state government as solutions to American problems, that was certainly in style the last century. Socialism is no longer creeping, it marches stridently up the steps of Capitol Hill, almost daily.
Multiculturalism and political correctness where down is up and good is bad. Orwell seemed to see those coming. I guess he just wasn’t a trendsetter.
We, who are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights have found those rights eroded and the role of the Creator diminished. Freedom of religion became freedom from religion this past century.
The Diminution of American sovereignty and the rise of globalization, the failure to recognize and act accordingly to the threats and dangers of radical Islam. More trends of the last century.
Increased rates of murder, pedophilia and violence and we just shake our heads at tragedy. American jobs going overseas and the diminishing of our manufacturing base.
American’s fighting wars and engaging in economic trade with their hands tied behind their backs.
These are a few other trends, there are more. A trend doesn’t make it right, and I don’t see that this trend of not electing Congressmen has served us so well. I can think of no better man to break this trend, nor any more deserving of our support and our vote. We need leadership and knowledge of the issues, we need solutions, not more of the same. For the sake of our sovereignty and our posterity I can only hope that Hunter and his supporters become known as trend-busters. We can ill-afford “more of the same” and Hunter is the only candidate outside that box. Many will be excited about a new box, but what’s inside is always the same, very little or nothing. They are cotton-candy politicians, it looks like a lot, but when you take a bite, you realize it’s all fluff and very little substance.”
EXCELLENT POST!

If you look at the politicians, only individual Congressmen are small government conservatives. Reagan was an aberation. Governors and Senators are almost invariably big government types.
