Sweet!
LOL!!
Show me someone who’s running who isn’t a ‘career’ politician?
Good grief!
At least Duncan Hunter has gotten his hands dirty doing real HONEST work. The dirtiest Rudy’s hands have gotten is handling Karik.
Hunter and Keyes are not even remotely alike, as you well know.
That OUGHT to tell you something. Time to change that loser formula.
“What do we do : D HUNTER / F TOMSON ????”
“Doesn’t matter whose name is first. They would make a good team.”
I agree. I would love that ticket, either way! However, Fred Thompson said today that if he runs, he will be running for President and not interested in being VP. So, my hope is that Duncan Hunter would take the VP spot, and then run for President when Thompson’s term is up. Hunter would be a great VP if it turns out that way. I do love Duncan Hunter and will continue to support him. If Thompson does enter the race I would have to see where he and Hunter differ on issues before I decide on further support.
..classic DH
“The swing voters won’t vote for a true conservative, and there are about 30 million of them. Fred Thompson is about as close to a conservative as you’re going to get.”
You have no way of knowing what they will do one way or the other. That is unless God has blessed you with some kind of seer ability he didn’t give the rest of us.
“You Hunter Freaks remind me of the Keyes supporters from 2000. Like da hood’s going to elect a conservative oreo like him.”
You Liberals in Republican suits remind me of Rudy.
Mitt Romney actually had a job and a life before poitical office. He has run for office twice -- eight years apart -- and was elected once. Thompson, if he runs, ran for office once and served one full term in the Senate. During the 27 years that Hunter has been in Congress, Giuliani ran for elected office twice and served a total of eight years. Hunter, in contrast, has been running for something for more than a quarter century.
At least Duncan Hunter has gotten his hands dirty doing real HONEST work.
You mean like steering millions of pork dollars to campaign contributers for the purchase of computer imaging software for the military that the Department of Defense did not ask for, did not want, and did not need?
Followed by being Gov of NY.
Yes. If Thompson enters, I still want to see Hunter on the ascendency.
Knowing Thompson fairly well already, I will be much happier to see him as the front runner than any of the “big three”. That said, I will support Hunter all the way. If it becomes obvious by primary time that he has picked up no traction, I will consider my options. But under no circumstances will it be supporting a liberal.
If Hunter had a snowball's chance of being elected, I'd support him. Face it, he doesn't. I suffered miserably under Carter and Clinton's military policies and would hate to see them return.
Fred Thompson is the only Republican I could support, but I'd much rather see Rudy or Mitt in the White House than Hillary or Obama, wouldn't you?
Yeah, you keep harping on that one small contract. Why don’t you look where else Hunter steered money, to things the Pentagon needed, but the Clinton admin opposed. There are alot of Defense contractors big and small that like this man. Has there been a more stalwart supporter of SDI/Missile defense than Hunter. How about support for more ships, tanks, artillery, smart bombs?
“Fred Thompson is the only Republican I could support, but I’d much rather see Rudy or Mitt in the White House than Hillary or Obama, wouldn’t you?”
I could support Thompson if he were nominated.
I won’t support Rudy or Mitt under any circumstances. Neither of them do I agree with on anything other than the War. For one I don’t know where they really stand. Their past support of liberal policies leaves me to believe that is where they will go after they are elected. 32 years of having Moderate/Liberals in the RNC piss on my head and tell me to support thier guy has made me finally say enough is enough.
Plus, IMO, Rudy’s support of the War is countermanded by his support of Amnesty and open borders. That to me is national suicide.
I won’t vote for a Liberal no matter what party they are from. This is not about R’s Vs D’s anymore. This is about Conservative Vs Republicans.
Hunter would have a chance to get elected btw if people got behind him and voted and worked for his candidacy.
But then I guess the RNC has let the national news elect it’s reps for so long that they are now too lazy to do it themselves.
Fred Thompson is having some health issues.
Hunter/Thompson: good for America.
Thompson/Hunter: a good second choice.
Yep. Both Fred and Rudy have battled cancer and it could rear its ugly head. That would be the oddest thing to see the nominee get cancer and have to deal with bringing forth a replacement presidential candidate. I’m not sure that the VP nominee would be an automatic stepin. It would probably lead to a brokered convention of some sort. Maybe there’s some freepers who know the procedures well enough to comment on what would happen in such a case.
At any rate, bump to the top for Hunter.
“I’d much rather see Rudy ... in the White House than Hillary or Obama, wouldn’t you?
No.
I would rather see Hillary in the White House than Rudy.
Giuliani’s election by the Republicans would destroy the pro-life movement in the GOP for good.
The only chance he or anyone has is if people like you support him, Joe, for being the best candidate.
And, not one vote has been cast yet, not one debate engaged, not one 'suprise' in world events that can change everything.
You obviously have every right to support whoever you like, but why a good proven conservative such as yourself would call him a "loser" and declare him DOA just doesn't make sense.
One thing the Dems are doing better than us is building up all of their candidates...meanwile we are in 'self-destruction' mode, if we're not careful.
I would love to see people like you actively supporting the credentials of conservative candidates here on FR, even if you don't plan to vote for him.
Thompson, Hunter, Gingrich are all good, proven conservatives. They deserve our (FR's) best work, at the expense of any and all liberals.
