No, Hunter definately endorsed Huckleberry.
Hunter even gave Huckleberry his delegate.
Reagan stood behind his party’s nominee, just barely, only after Ford was officially nominated. But Reagan also launched his 1980 campaign just moments after losing to Ford, signaling to his supporters to not get behind Ford, and wait 4 years for his return.
What Reagan didn’t do was drop out and endorse Ford upon doing so, nor did he give Ford a single delegate.
There is no comparison. Sorry.
And you really ought to stop dragging the late great president’s name through the mud by trying.
We’re doing what we can. 2010 is a very important election. I think we have a great chance of taking back the House. The key is to have good candidates and support those candidates, not just in areas where Republicans should win, but we should take some districts that have fairly large constituencies of conservative democrats who don’t want to see this country socialized and want to maintain a strong national defense and want an enforceable border. And incidentally, Brian Rooney, who is running in Michigan is a former Marine, he’s the guy I going to campaign for here today. Obviously, Gunnery Sergeant Nick Popaditch who is running against Bob Filner in California, is one of those seats that we need to take if we want to win back the majority. Jesse Kelly, another former Marine who went up the road to take Baghdad in 2003 as a corporal in the infantry, is another guy running for Congress in Arizona, the Tucson race. We’ve got Vaughn Ward, who was a rifle platoon leader in Boise running for Congress who has a good chance of winning.
I shall research his candidates!
I’d love, love, love to see Filner defeated.
The late great president is exactly the type of guy who you, in your ignorance, know nothing about. If you did know what Reganism is, you’d understand that Hunter was the ONLY Reaganite in the race.
So shut your piehole and produce for us your chart that tells us Tancredo is a nazi and Edwards is a libertarian again.
Here’a a great place to start:
Decorated Marine to run for (liberal) Filner’s seat (A Duncan Hunter guy)

Ford was the GOP nominee.
There is no comparison to the runner-up getting behind the winner for the sake of party unity, and a 3rd tier candidate endorsing a 2nd tier candidate after dropping out early on in the race.
Hunter isn’t a Reaganite.
Hunter is Huckabite.
Its not so much about Rooney himself, its really about direct GOP manipulation. Hunter can endorse who he wishes and I don’t have a problem with that. After all, Joe Wilson has been helping Walberg with fundraising.

So Hunter should have endorsed McCain? Or Flip? Or Rudy? What the hell you smokin?
If you don’t know Sh*t, MENSA, maybe you should keep your mouth shut and try learning something.
And hurry up and tell us again about Tancredo being a nazi and Edwards being a libertarian.
He should have endorsed Fred Thompson.
You SWORE at the time he would.
I called it. I told you Hunter would endorse Huckleberry, because I saw they were two peas in a pod.
But you said never in a million years would that happen, because you knew your guy.
So I submit that you are the one who doesn’t know sh*t.
He’s excellent! TOUGH district. I know it well.
I am counting on being in the immediate area for election 2010. He’s a man work working for. Tough, democrat district. I’ll do some heavy thinking. He can win. Filner is a closet commie...lol.
I never swore crap to you about a Thompson endorsement. Quote me, MENSA. Then after that futile search, you can show us your chart again telling us that Tancredo is a nazi and Edwards is a libertarian.
It sounds to me that the Rooney is mixing up the NRCC with Duncan D Hunter and Tom Rooney. The NRCC is quoted as not taking sides. Which they should not, but too often do.
Gunnypop will be the commie slayer!!
It’s pointless for a two-bit pol like Hunter to endorse another two-bit pol like Huckabee in the first place.
When Reagan endorsed Ford, it was to bring the party together after a hard fought campaign. Same for when Romney endorsed McCain. These are cases of the runner-up getting behind his party’s chosen nominee once the race is over.
But when a nobody like Hunter drops out a few weeks into the race to endorse another longshot like Huckleberry, it serves no purpose other than for the drop to stroke his own ego and pretend like his opinion matters.
Unlike Reagan endorsing Ford, Hunter endorsing Huckleberry had nothing to do with helping his party win the Whitehouse. It was just an insignificant politician’s vain attempt at influencing the outcome of an intraparty race.
Funny. Why did Tancredo endorse Flipper? Why did Fred run McQueeg’s 2000 campaign? Why did DeMint endorse flipper early on? Why did Bolton and Brownback endorse McCain? Why did Hannity fellate Giuliani?
But more importantly, why did you repeatedly endorse the idea that Tancredo is a nazi and Edwards is a libertarian?
I’d guess the answer to that is that you are young and stupid still. But that would be an insult to the young and stupid.
Are you talking about the Politcal Compass?
I vaguely recall a similar distortion from you.
Seems like a real liberal tactic on your part.
Lie and distort the record of anyone who brings up an uncomfortable truth as a desperate attempt to discredit them and distract attention away from what they’re saying.
Maybe you should run for office as a Democrat.
Vaguely? You posted it a 1/2 dozen times and flapped your gums endlessly promoting it.
