The Strong Quiet Man Presidential Candidate
Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 09/12/2007 9:25:50 AM PDT by Lloyd Marcus

While sexy celebrities and media darling candidates suck up all the airtime, Duncan Hunter is the strong, honorable, character driven true conservative presidential candidate. It appears that a gentleman who says what he means and means what he says without dancing the political two step isn’t stimulating enough for the over stimulated drive by media.

Keynote at a Lincoln dinner, Hunter did not give the typical ‘vote for me because I’m wonderful and will give you stuff’ speech. Recently back from Iraq, Hunter’s humility, love for his country and respect for our troops compelled him to enthusiastically share numerous stories of bravery and honor by our troops.

Hunter also spoke prideful and lovingly about his family. Talking about himself almost seemed a chore for Hunter. Most presidential wannabee super size egos prevent them from speaking about anything else.

Though he is not the flashiest guy in the running, Hunter is obviously a candidate of character, honesty and wisdom. Years ago, he fought for, won and began building the border fence. Like Gary Cooper in the classic movie, High Noon, Hunter stands alone remaining steadfast and unwavering in his firm commitment to defend our borders. In an ever increasingly dangerous world, with a prayer and Duncan Hunter in the White House, I could sleep well at night.

DH is the best guy out there. He also has the work ethic to defeat the Hildebeast. So far, I can’t say the same about Fred Thompson, the annoited conservative.

Fred Thompson is the best candidate we conservatives have to beat both liberals, Rooty and Hillary. Fred`s been gaining momentum and support for months and since his official announcement last week he’s knocked down Rooty`s own support. Fred`s closing in on Rooty for the kill.

Duncan Hunter is a good conservative, just not a good presidential candidate. His campaign is stuck in neutral and going nowhere.

I watched O’Reilly just to see Mr. Hunter and he is quite handsome. He looked great. I just wished BOR would’ve let him talk more.

It’s very frustrating that he is not discussed more in the media. We still have a while to go before the election. Maybe something will happen.

I just watched him on Glenn Beck. He’s going to be on Glenn’s radio show tomorrow discussing a pissed off Michael Chertoff. Mr. Hunter said it was “Good” that Chertoff was pissed. It’s regarding comments made by Glenn, I think.

FYI anyone, Glenn’s show repeats at 6pm and 2am pacific time on CNN’s Headline News channel.

Yes, it would be great if the media would discuss him more. Lately he’s been getting more interviews, and hopefully it will snowball.

And yes, he sure DID look handsome!!

CaliGirl-R and Lloyd Marcus—

Very well said!

I just returned from a (I guess its is a) RINO site newsbusters.org, and all they could do (save for 2 out of the 40-odd posters) is fall over themselves scurrying about in a desperate attempt to prop up FT as “the conservative who can win”. Then I received (7:10 pm PDT) a cold call from “Friends of Fred Thompson” back in the “(615)” area...in Tennessee. The FT hordes are pulling out the stops.

It’s time we Hunterites did the same thing.

Fred keeps neglecting to mention his involvement with the Reagan campaigns or conservative causes. I’d like to know more about them. As a guy who worked in the 76 and 80 Reagan campaigns, I remember a vigorous 69 year old whose record indicated precisely what he wanted to do. In 2007 I’m seeing a tired old man.
