DH PING
BTTT—still the best...
The next time you talk to Congressman Hunter, why don’t you ask him what he thinks about Sarah Palin?
See post #2, fifth link from the bottom.
I’d vote for him in a heartbeat
Mr. Skinner, how goes things?
I hope we get the chance. If not, then he needs to be the next Sec of Defense or Homeland Security poobah.
AJM: That’s for sure. OK. That answers that. Somebody had asked me, who could not attend this conference, to ask you a question regarding Sarah Palin. I don’t know if you’ve turned on a TV lately, but she’s everywhere. She’s got a new book just released today – number 1 bestseller. She’s on Oprah and Barbara Walters and basically it is her re-introduction after she quit her governorship. So what do you think about Sarah Palin and her future in the Republican Party?
DH: You know, I don’t know Governor Palin well. And I’m not close to their campaign. So I don’t know her well enough to comment on what her strategy may be for the next couple of years. But I think she provided some energy to the Republican Party. And I think she has provided a strong role model for conservative women who want to get involved in politics, and to take the fight back to the liberal feminist side which has dominated Democratic politics.
So I think Sarah Palin was a refreshing contrast to the model that the liberal media was shoving at us as to what women in politics should be. She represented independence, individualism. I don’t know, I’m not familiar with all of her activities as a governor in Alaska so it’s tough to comment on that.
But I think, generally speaking, she’s a refreshing new presence on the political scene and I wish her well.
AJM: Very good. The suggestion was that we’d send her up to Idaho – she’s from Idaho originally as a little kid – and you’d take her hunting. Not only could you guys have a good time hunting together, but that you could impart some of your military and foreign policy wisdom to her at that time. One of the criticisms of her, fair or not, was she doesn’t have a full grasp on certain aspects of what the Presidency entails when it comes to foreign policy or military affairs, national security, sovereignty, the types of things you’re known for. So we’d love to send her up to you at some point at least to meet. Would you be interested in meeting her?
DH: (Laughs) Well, of course. Listen; there are lots of people that have information, that have good backgrounds in national security who could brief up Sarah Palin.
I thought in the debates and interviews that she needed to have three or four positions that are classic republican, conservative positions, like Peace through Strength, and she needed to assert those. And remember Charlie Gibson, I think, was the first major interview that Sarah Palin did. I think she needed to assert those strongly, and stake out conservative positions, rather than kind of trying to handle the volleys that the media was throwing at her. I would have had a little different strategy going in to that.
But you know, I think Sarah Palin did a good job in the campaign. And certainly the campaign was in tough shape when Sarah Palin came onto the ticket. I think she was value added. Absolutely.
I would like to get Hunters current take on Palin/McCain and more importantly Palinamnesty.
He’s been so immersed between writing his book and campaigning for congresscritter candidates, that I’d be surprised if he’s been following her or any of the other potential presidential candidates. But we can always ask.
..as Dickens put it—the best of times, the worst of times—family health issues, but am getting married soon—very happy—I miss you guys Jim...
Married? Wow. Big step. Get used to the fact that the queen of the castle trumps the kingship. LOL
LOL—I’ll never forget Charlton Heston’s great line when asked how he stayed happily married for those many years. He said “I remembered just four words—”Honey I was wrong.” ROFL...
Hunter, unlike Tancredo, seldom goes after people with soundbite worthy scoldings (with a few hilarious exceptions). Rather he goes after policies. And I can assure you that he will oppose any attempts at “reform” that include an amnesty.
Great suggestion.
LOL. Yep. But don’t think admitting fault (even when you both know you are right) is going to give you points down the line. Just accept your fate.
Pissant makes me dislike Duncan Hunter. I must stop that. He’s like, Hunter’s worst PR guy ever.
Well, we all can’t like everyone.
