Go Duncan!

[Calpernia]

I don't think we will have a next time. 2008 is for all the marbles. Soros has to get his horse into the White House for the 2010 agenda.

I think it is Duncan Hunter or bust.

[Battle Axe]

He just lacks national name recognition.

The other side of the coin is.....he is not one of the current insiders.

[Calpernia]

I would support him for his CNN smack down alone :P

My classmate is a graphic artist. Am going out to see her in early Feb.

We will design some grass roots posters and get them printed.

Have you been collecting the wire frames on others' signs? I have some but not enough. I could send you the poster and you could put it on your wire frame..

Suggestions....Help???

One thing I do admire about Duncan Hunter enthusiasts is their unabashed joyous zeal.

Do you mean people like Don Rumsfield, Gen. Peter Pace, Chuck Yeager, Frank Gaffney, etc?

Duncan Hunter, awarded the Keeper of the Flame Award 2006 (snip)

In late September, Hunter was the guest of honor at a black-tie dinner in a hall at Washington's Union Station, where the hawkish defense group the Center for Security Policy presented him with its annual "Keeper of the Flame" award. Among those lauding him at the Center for Security Policy banquet that evening was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said the Pentagon relies on Hunter's "wisdom, his leadership, his experience and his 'get it done' attitude.'

"It is something when he comes into your office like a whirling dervish and starts discussing a subject first at the national level and then down at the microlevel, and then leaves you pieces of metal on your desk that you can hardly lift and has explained exactly where it goes, what it's for, why it should be there and then wants to know why it isn't. And God bless him for it."

Rumsfeld also said the U.S. is more secure because of Hunter. "He's never let the troops down, and as a result of his leadership and his hard work, our nation is a safer place today," Rumsfeld told the dinner gathering that included Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"The war for the Free World will be the most important issue in 2008 and a guy like Duncan Hunter who has a serious grasp on what is at stake will be in an advantageous position come primary season," said Frank Gaffney, who also writes a weekly column for the conservative Washington Times newspaper.

I will keep the fire warm for you. If Rino Rudy wins the nomination ti will swell the ranks of the third parties.

I know it will. That's why we must prevent it from happening right now. A milquetoast RINO as the Republican nominee means a strong third-party challenge from the Right and guarantees a Democrat victory in '08. As my tagline says, why else do you think the media loves them?

[JimFreedom]

You're guys in, good for you. Boy that is small print, I needed to get right up to the screen for that one! I for one am asking for the name calling to stop, its silly and we have seen all the Rudy in drag pictures we will ever need. No more RINO RUDY, JULIE ANNIE, or DUNCAN HINES, all these individuals deserve better then that regardless of our feelings about their politics. I do however make an exception for McCANIAC (cause I just love that one) and any DEM! Let the games continue!

[JimFreedom]

'Contribute Here' is probably always the first thing to go up!

[Hydroshock]

That is my fear as well.

[Antoninus]

I think it is Duncan Hunter or bust.

I agree. We've got to help him get the word out.

Based on everything I've seen to this point, I could work all out for Hunter without any qualm.

[Antoninus]

No more RINO RUDY, JULIE ANNIE, or DUNCAN HINES, all these individuals deserve better then that regardless of our feelings about their politics.

You'll never stop it. It's all part of the contest and always has been. Personally, I don't mind the name-calling so much. If it's ill-founded and dumb, people will tire of it quickly. If it's clever and based on TRUTH, it could sink a candidacy.

[tomcorn]

It's not ridicule. It is admiration. Zealous pursuit of a goal however farfetched and quixotic admirable. I see corollaries between Hunter supporters and Obama maniacs. Though clearly the Obama foolishness has a lot of " trendy hipness" to it but it has the same kind of wild eyed zeal.

But in the end this race will move relentlessly to the center. The nominees will be Giuliani and Hillary. You will do exactly what I'm gonna do. You will hold your nose and vote for Rudy. You, like me, will waive your Rudy banner if not jubilantly then obediantly. The reason is clear....Because Rudy ain't Hillary.

Now isn't this true,Antoninus?

[JimFreedom]

Maybe you should run NYC for say a week and get back to us about executive experience and all, but of course you already know that NYC is larger then many states population
wise, budget wise and on and on.

[Ouderkirk]

Right now,

Hunter is in....good. Make your case man !!

[Antoninus]

You will do exactly what I'm gonna do. You will hold your nose and vote for Rudy. You, like me, will waive your Rudy banner if not jubilantly then obediantly. The reason is clear....Because Rudy ain't Hillary.

Now isn't this true,Antoninus?

With all my heart---NO!

As I've said on numerous other occasions--I don't vote for liberals, regardless of party. Rudy is a liberal. If he wants to get elected, let him do it with liberal workers, liberal money, and liberal votes. He'll NEVER get mine.

[JimFreedom]

TRUTH according to who?

[Antoninus]

Maybe you should run NYC for say a week and get back to us about executive experience and all, but of course you already know that NYC is larger then many states population wise, budget wise and on and on.

Oh, so now Rudy "counts" as a governor? Puh-lease.

[Antoninus]

TRUTH according to who?

Quid est veritas?

[Hydroshock]

Rino Rudy will also have to do without my vote. I do not vote for liberals.
