Exactly why you were able to post it in the first place.
Duncan Hunter is a mensch. He’s also modest and humble. I can understand why he would deflect questions regarding his future plans.
He deflected them alright, just like everybody else who has been asked to this point. Even ol Mitt, says he won’t make any decisions until end of year.
I gave two examples: No Child Left Behind and Bush’s massive leap to socialized medicine, prescription drugs. Hunter supported both. I note that you ignore these stands....which pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
Yep, that's what I said. Thanks for confirming.
Exactly right. If they announce now, they won’t get the media coverage and “bounce” they need when it really counts.
And Romney doesn’t need to announce-he never stopped campaigning. He and Obama have that in common, too.
I was laughing at the fact that pissant has been swearing at me but your sensitivity to my comment about being honest with FReepers.....yep, still funny LOL
A lot of Republicans had the courage to vote against prescription drugs socialization....so "bucking" was not a big deal. In fact, DeLay had to strong-arm many Republicans to get it passed. I note that you did not comment on Hunter's poor rating from the National Taxpayers Union. Yes, I supported Ron Paul but that doesn't change the facts one way or another on Hunter's big government voting record on a range of spending issues.
Uh, the man was in office for 28 years. I’m sure I can find another 6 or 10 “bad votes” too. And I can find a helluva lot more for any other candidate.
BTW, Hunter voted with 99% of the GOPers on that because, according to him, they owed the President part of his agenda he ran on. But with the Dept of Ed, Hunter wants is gone - kaput- completely. Same with Energy, HUD, Ag. He wants to privatize SS as well. So much for that authoritarian.
Doesn’t Romney have a job? I guess it’s candidate.
Your jealousy of pissant is showing.
You are very confused. Where’s the excerpt?
So it seems. One of the things that sticks with me the most is that neither he, nor any of his sons has served in the military. I don’t care how he rationalizes it, that’s a disgrace.
It is more than five or six votes. It is part of a pattern which is reflected by his low rating by the National Taxpayers Union. Did I also mention Hunter was only one of 32 Republicans to vote for the auto bailout!
No, he voted for the $25 billion loan to Chrysler and GM. He had nothing to do with the Obama admin’s takeover, nothing.
And that 25 billion was supposed to be out of the already appropriated 800 billion TARP fund, which Hunter slammed harder than any other politician, including your hero Ron Paul.
And FYI, the NTU counts votes FOR robust defense spending as a negative and votes AGAINST phony free trade as a negative. Did you know that? That is why Hunter has just a middling score. Because if they weighed only his position on taxes, he’d be off the top of the charts.
pissant, this is just plain nuts, I am a realistic Hunter fan and you have me arguing against you about a man that I like and admire?
Hunter did not have a competitive showing during the last election to warrant another costly campaign.. He does not have that kind of money.
I repeat, I love the guy but I live here in San Diego and go to the events that I've already mentioned above. For example: I've had cocktails with Duncan Hunter. I've seen Duncan D. in a Town Hall against Bob Filner. I'm not blowing smoke and I'm not bragging. I'm just trying to show you that I live here.
Dude, you might live there, so do 100,000 other people.
Now you are changing the story. Asking him about the NY 23 race has NOTHING to do with wanting or asking or hinting about HIM running third party. Everyone and their sister was asked about NY 23, for good reason.
Since you live there, hope you are supporting Hunter protege Nick Popaditch.
And I don’t care that you had cocktails with him (BTW, he doesn’t drink), did you want to know the answer to the question of whether he would consider running again or not?
Yes, I do know what he said about running again but apparently you don't!
Try to discredit me but I never said he drank, but then you already know that, too.
You're the one in the minority, not me. I didn't change my story but you have appeared to have changed your reply. Typical.
I don’t care what your opinion is about him running again. All I know is that you have no flippin idea, and you’re pulling crap out of your ear. He answered the question point blank, yet you pretend he’s ruled out running again, because you happen to live in his district. LOL.
And asking about NY 23 a conservative challenging a RINO which was headline news all over the nation is the same as badgering Hunter to run third party? You have amazing leaps of logic.
I’m glad Scott Brown won. Believe me when I say I would love to have Duncan Hunter as president, but if he runs the same kind of campaign he ran last time, he will repeat what happened, and I’m not going to waste my money or time on it.
