>>>But I have my doubts as to him being mean-as*ed enough to fight the war on terror and the terrorist enablers at home. An ex-army ranger and paratrooper is clearly the better man for that job.<<

Duncan Hunter is a very capable candidate, no doubt. Hopefully the debates on Fox will help bring him more into the spotlight. It seems he doesn’t have the groundswell of support that he needs, though perhaps that will change.

I’ve seen him speak on illegal immigration, and I’m very much in his court on that issue.

That said, Romney is the only candidate other than Hunter who I hear regularly calling our enemies jihadists. Not insurgents, not the Iraq problem. Not terrorists. He gets to heart of the matter. That’s a good sign, in my estimation.

Agreed. I'm also impressed with the way he talks back to the press rather than trying to pander to them.

I'd much rather have an imperfect conservative with brass balls than a perfect conservative who lacks the backbone to fight back.

Agree it's all about who takes on our enemies. Not just the terrorists, but also the DEMS.

Rudy got an early head start on this, then has waned. Mitt has now come on. Whowever is perceived as someone who will get "down and dirty" to defeat our enemies---both the Islamofascists and the enemy at home---will win going away.
