Didn’t you support Hunter at one time? Just curious.

Anyway, Hunter spends on our defense and protecting our troops, and that’s the way it should be.

He will lower taxes when he is president.

And check this out. If this isn’t enough, I have MORE!

• “The first of these ``Big 4’’ provisions is in Article IX. It states that decisions by the World Trade Organization ``shall be taken by a majority ... each member of WTO shall have one vote.’’ Folks, this gives Fidel Castro in Cuba the same vote as the United States. It is just like the General Assembly of the United Nations, with one vital difference. There is no Security Council in the WTO to give the U.S. a veto as in the UN.

No, I took an early interest in his candidacy with the intention of supporting him and ignored his critics until I looked deeper into his record on government spending. Yes, he does spend on defense, but that is not my problem with him. He has a record of big spending across the board. In terms of budget busting, the Prescription Drug plan was the worse vote. In terms of defensibility, his going 0 - 19 on the Flake anti port amendments REALLY ticked me off. That put him in the same company as my current Senator and former Congressman Bernie Sanders.

He used to have a solid record on spending, but that is no longer the case. His record has gotten worse as he has joined the the GOP drift under Bush toward big government conservatism while people like Mike Pence and the RSC were trying to reverse this trend. He is a member of the RSC but frequently votes against their fiscally sound budgets. I see him as part of the problem in regards to the GOP embracing big government.
