Attention Duncan Hunter Fans: Free Republic "Virtual Press Conference" to be Monday 8-13

Sam Hunter | 8/9/07 | Pissant

[pissant]

Finally! It is set. Congressman and Presidential Candidate Duncan Lee Hunter will join us on Free Republic on Monday, August 13, around lunchtime, Pacific Time.

He will be with his son Sam (Duncan Hunter Ambassador) in San Diego. He will log onto Free Republic as a new member. I will post the 16 questions we gave him last month AND the answers he has provided to those questions in a "live thread". Mr. Hunter will come onto FR and answer a few follow up questions and rub elbows with the "folks" for an hour or so.

Please understand that he will not be able to answer multitudes of follow up questions in the limited time he has, but he will get some answered and make a statement or two.

Please set aside time to participate if you are interested in "meeting" this stellar conservative candidate for President of the USA.

The exact time will be confirmed on monday morning (sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM) by Sam Hunter.

Be sure to thank Jimrob for allowing this virtual press conference!

“around lunchtime, Pacific Time.”

Planning a fishing trip that morning, I hope to limit out in plenty of time to catch this important event.

[pissant]

No worries. Fishing is more important than politics. At least in my book. LOL

[Joann37]

Thanks for the info., and thanks to JimRob for allowing the presentation!

[4CJ]

Thanks, looking forward to it.

[Cindy]

Bump.

[pissant]

You bet!

[Pistolshot]

Awesome!!!! It will be great to see our future Vice-President online. I hope to be available.

[pissant]

I hope so too, but don’t ask him about a VP slot, please. He just told Medved he won’t even contemplate it now and that he thinks he will win this thing.

[Califreak]

Hooray! Thank you!

B4DH!

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!! Go Hunter!!

[Califreak]

If I lived in Iowa, I would have been there, but I did mail in a donation to his campaign.

[pissant]

*applause* for Jim Robinson and Free Republic. The best website in the country!!

[Pistolshot]

As I've said before, I like Duncan, but he is not in a position, at this time, to instill a lot of confidence in winning the whole thing.

Moving from the House to the White House is a HUGE step, and rarely occurs. I would hope he looks at the VP slot as time goes on and IF his position doesn't improve. It would be his stepping stone to the top spot, and give him the pulpit he needs to be nationally recognized.

And just a bit of information here for you. I donate to both Duncan and Thompson. But my preference at the top is for Fred.

[pissant]

I talked to Sam Hunter this AM. they are working their tails off courting the Iowegians. Gotta play catchup, since he has a very demanding day job on the Armed Services Committee.

[DejaJude]

I’ll be there.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you, thank you very much. No applause please. LOL

[Califreak]

Fair enough, but we’ve still got another year or so. It ain’t over yet.

[pissant]

Well, thanks for your support. I much prefer the reverse order. But we all win if Rudy is knocked out like a cold mackerel.

[Paperdoll]

Thanks! You guys are wonderful! Marked my calendar.

[Califreak]

Duncan Hunter’s day job: Fighting for America, not promising to!

[pissant]

Hey, I’m trying to get out of your doghouse. I’m giving you a standing O! LOL

[Paperdoll]

Speaking of Rudy, he’s on Sean Hannity right now.

[Grunthor]

“Fishing is more important than politics. At least in my book. LOL”

Yeah it is when you’re catching them, Been a good week so far hoping it continues all month. I will read the Hunter thread wether I get back in time to participate or not. I don’t know if it is possible but maybe you could ask a question for me? I would like the candidate to expound on when we might see upward movement in the polls. At this stage, that equals encouragement for some of us.

[pissant]

Actually, we only have about 6 months before the primaries get rolling!

[SoCalPol]

Thanks Jim.

I saw Hunter at the Freedom Concert here in San Diego
the other week. His knowledge on National Security, Military, Border issues, etc. exceeds all other candidates.
Not to mention his Marine Capt. son on his third tour.

[Paperdoll]

?If I lived in Iowa, I would have been there, but I did mail in a donation to his campaign.<

Thank you for your support! God bless! :)

[Lexinom]

Michael Medved had Hunter on his show for a full hour today. Hunter cleaned up. He did not attack his rivals, despite Medved's attempt, and emphasized his prescience: He moved on the border fence in the early 90's before it was popular. He introduced free, fair trade legislation first in 1982, before IT was popular.

Today, both issues are "hugh" and "series" -- and DH was well ahead of the curve. He might be the ONLY candidate with that kind of long-term vision.

Looking forward to Monday!

[Fire_on_High]

Can you add me to a ping list for this please?

[johnny7]

I have a presentation to deliver @1:00 on Monday. I’ll check the thread out when I get back.

[pissant]

Yes sir.

[007girl]

Thanks, can’t wait!

[tumblindice]

There’s Duncan Hunter, contender. And the rest: the pretenders.

Thanks Jim.

[Califreak]

A lot can happen in six months too.

If our side wins, I hope we don’t have to do a 50 state recount. We will surely be witness to the mother of all hissy fits.

[Larry Lucido]

I’ll be at work but I’ll try to monitor the thread.

[Just another Joe]

bump for a reminder.

Would it be worth it to compile a ping list and have someone bump it Monday morning as a reminder?

[Beagle8U]

I may not be here at that time because there is a weekend long event at the sportsmans club, but can you ask him a question for me?

I think he should be talking to autoworkers in the rustbelt states to get his message out about fair-trade.

Can you ask him why he isn’t having townhall type meetings with labor groups like the UAW?

I think he would go over well with them if he would just set up some meetings to explain his ideas.

A good reception from labor would make news and get him some media exposure.

[CAluvdubya]

Looks good, pissant. Way to go in making this happen

Thank you, JR in helping Hunter spread his ideas!

I'm so excited that I get to hear DH in person at the San Diego Republicans dinner that Monday evening!

[GitmoSailor]

Thanks for all the good work you both do to make this country Great!!!!!!!..............

[showme_the_Glory]

Thanks Jim and Duncan. Oh, you too pissant :-)

[TheBattman]

AAAAarrrgghhhh... Will be in meetings all day. Will have to come back and check out the finished thread that night.

[showme_the_Glory]

I am looking forward to seeing him next week in Rockwall, TX.

[TheBattman]

Awesome!!!! It will be great to see our future Vice-President online. I hope to be available.

There - corrected to reflect optimism.

[ishabibble]

I have nothing to wear!! Monday noon? Great, major shopping and beauty weekend!

[David Isaac]

Just notified my state Duncan Hunter chairman. He is not a member. I told him I could walk him through the press conference. Sounds like a ood time to me.

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

Thank you.
Hope to be here.
