I see, now:’)
Hi IS running for Prez, you know. LOL
uh....it’s Countywide on the sign. LOL
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1833357/posts ... Countrywide to add 2,000 sales jobs
I saw that. They should hire this gal as its spokesbabe.
I didn't notice the sign at first.
Your job is to make sure the other poor SOBs die for theirs!
Sign, what sign?
If not, then we’ll get the por SOB’s to die for allah.
I love pissant.
I’ll need a closeup of that. LOL
Really? :’)
Know why?
Because no less than a few years after this, we have Duncan Hunter criticizing defense companies that sell to Iran and Syria.
Hunter tries to stop offsets, and a few years later, things have turned to this. And let's not forget the Swiss cthat stopped selling us satellite guidance components for our smart bombs. So it's no wonder Hunter trusts American military technology with...AMERICANS! (Shocking!)
Why does no one see things the way he does?
To my knowledge, he doesn't have any. But so what? I'm not one of these yahoos who thinks someone has to have been in the military to be President. Frankly, military service is no indicator that a person is more moral, more qualified, or even a better leader, than those who haven't served. Quite frankly, I've known a lot of guys who were in the service who I wouldn't trust to wash my car, much less lead my country.
Why does no one see things the way he does?
***So that he can distinguish himself and become president!
When Hunter breaks out of single digits in a primary, someone wake me up.
I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he isn’t going anywhere in the primaries. Some of us deal with reality before others apparently. Wishing don’t make it so.
Exactly. I like Hunter too. I wish he had a shot. But he doesn't.
Look folks, I know there are some Freepers who have convinced themselves that things like "national appeal" and "name recognition" are just shibboleths for compromising RINOs (here defined as "anyone who doesn't think Hunter is going to be the next President of these here Yooooo-nited States). But for those of us grounded in reality, these things not only increase a candidate's electability, but they also go a long way towards demonstrating that a candidate has the capacity to make a name for his or herself. Duncan hasn't shown that, on a national level. It takes more to be electable than just voting for defence appropriations.
And doing nothing to promote him or spread the word certainly don’t make it so. If he does become a 1st tier candidate, and there are many indication that will happen, it will because folks you dismiss are doing alot of hard work to make it happen.
That dismissive nonsense is what drives me nuts, by conservatives who should know better.
Just voting for “defense appropriations” includes bare knuckle brawls to keep the libs and RINOS from neutering our military spooks and putting them under the CIA/Homeland Security depts.
It includes stopping Dubai from getting control of port terminals.
It includes preventing the Clinton Admin from gutting Reagan’s missile defense programs.
It includes preventing the libs from closing down Gitmo and giving them a day in US civilian courts.
It includes forcing the Pentagon to buy B2 bombers and C17 cargo planes when they did not “want” them. Only to find out how badly we needed them later.
It includes taking Murtha’s 2006 “cut and run” proposal and forcing to the house floor for a vote where it got trounced.
It includes preventing fighting the libs wet dreams to get Don’t ask Don’t tell lifted.
It includes ramrodding legislation through to prevent any satellite technology sales to China.
It includes 100s of more things that this country would be in dire straights for if Hunter had not been standing and fighting, often alone.
Add to that, he ramrodded the border fence bill through congress in 2006 with NO cosponsors. It is being built as we speak (slowly, mind you). No one else could have done that.
Hunter singlehandedly fought and overturned the Airforce to get them to lift their recent PC policy that did not allow chaplains to mention Jesus Christ.
Hunter led the charge to save the Mount Soledad Cross war memorial from the ACLU. It was about to be removed.
Hunter is currently sponsoring, as he has in the past, the Right to Life bill, HR618, that defines the right to constitutional protection as beginning at concepttion. He has been an unaplogetic pro-life leader since he came to DC.
Hunter is the ONLY one talking about the dangers and malfeasance of China’s communist regime. He’s been sounding the alarm bells for 20 years.
There are scores of other examples you can see if you keyword search Duncan Hunter here on FR.
This is no Ron Paul fringe candidate. This man is a leader. A rock ribbed, conservative Reaganite.
Same Reason no one saw it Reagans way until he forced his way into the national consciousness.
...graduated from Memphis State University 1964; received J.D. degree from Vanderbilt University 1967; admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1967 and commenced the practice of law; assistant U.S. attorney 1969-1972;
Probably got a deferment. There's still a lot I have to learnabout him,but he seems like a good possibility.
Quite frankly, I've known a lot of guys who were in the service who I wouldn't trust to wash my car, much less lead my country.
LOL! Same here. Being retired Army, it's one of the things I look for in a leader.
