Take me off the Ping List. I’m done with him. Thanks

Removed as requested.

(Eaglet, thank you for the FReepMail adding 3 new names to the Great Ron Paul Ping List. I'll add them as requested, and we can compare notes later this week).

Just as a point of personal info, Lynx -- while I have nothing personal against Duncan Hunter, if I were going to abandon Ron Paul (and I'm not, but "what if?"), my second choice would be Tom Tancredo.

Like Ron Paul, Tancredo has outraised Duncan Hunter by a factor of 2-to-1 in early fundraising; and like Ron Paul, Tancredo has generally scored higher than Hunter in Name Recognition and GOP Primary Preference. Tancredo can match Hunter point for point on Abortion, National Defense, Gun Rights, and obviously there's no-one better than Tancredo on Illegal Immigration (not even Paul or Hunter).
UNLIKE Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo IS rated a "Taxpayer's Friend" by the National TaxPayer's Union. Out of 435 Congressman, Tancredo's lowest rating ever has been as the 13th most Fiscally-Conservative Congressman in the entire House -- and his best rating ever was 4th out of 435, almost right behind Ron Paul! IMHO, this compares very favorably with Duncan Hunter's ratings on Tax-and-Spending issues -- which have been so atrocious (even deducting out National Defense; just looking at Pork Barrel project spending) that Hunter has been bringing the "Conservative" rating of the rest of the GOP Congress DOWN!

Ron Paul is my first choice. Ron Paul will continue to be my first choice. I intend to support Ron Paul all the way through the Republican Primaries.

But that said, if another Conservative can be Nominated, my second choice would be Tom Tancredo: Pro-Life, Pro-Defense, Pro-Guns, Anti-Illegal Immigration, and he's a genuine Fiscal Conservative (unlike Hunter).

Just My Humble Opinion.

(Full Disclosure: I also like Tom Tancredo because he's the only declared Presbyterian in the race. But then again, didn't I just say that he is a a true Fiscal Conservative? Perhaps I repeat myself...)
