Well, Mr. Brennan, we plan on changing that!!
***
I’ll bump to that!
Now, now... You’re sounding just like the Rudybots - “ONLY RUDY can fight the WOT!” despite him, like Thompson, lacking any military experience at either the field or policy level.
I happen to believe that any Republican running could beat Hillary. Her negatives are high (half of voters won’t vote for her under any circumstance), and if the past is any guide more Hsu-like scandals are inevitable. I think you and many others are confusing the media drumbeat with popular sentiment. Have a little faith in your fellow Americans, FRiend!
“Get some guts people and vote for Duncan Hunter. After all, isn’t this what we have been trying to do? Elect a person who believes what we believe and is already doing the job our President won’t even do?”
You tell ‘em! Duncan Hunter has the guts to do what’s right, so the least we can do it support him!
Today someone from the state Agriculture and Markets came to our house to pick up used dog food cans, because two of our dogs were very, very sick at once. We don’t know if it was the dog food, but we want to make sure.
Anyway, we got to talking about China poisoning pets and people, and I told the worker that Duncan Hunter is the only presidential candidate speaking out against China.
Every chance I get, I get his name out, in addition to editor’s letters.

That’s what I’m always saying. People don’t like Hillary!! No reason for conservatives to PANIC!!!!
Isn't that special? Those who point out Duncan's flaws are paid political hacks, or part of the faceless borg.
LOL ! No doubt . I was an early Romney supporter until Fred got in . I was accused of being a paid hack when I supported Romney too ... LOL
Somebody please tell me where to go to get paid to do this , i’ll sign up in a heartbeat !
And yet you look at history........MA, in some ways THE most liberal socialist state in the union, went to Reagan! Interesting how many other so called blue states did as well. I wouldn’t put my money on your above post if I were you!
Twenty-four years is a long time ago. California, and even New Jersey, used to elect Republicans, too. But now look at them - - hopeless toilets.
Good post! That is my point, and I would like to add the following question, who here, or on FR in general for that matter, would NOT support Hunter should he get the nomination? There is nothing there to NOT support.
He would be doing much better if the activist base supported him. They don’t and it isn’t because of the “MSM”. He simply doesn’t inspire people, apart from some very loyal people on this forum.
If he can’t generate significant support from the base, what possible chance does he have with the general electorate?
Good post , you are exactly right .
Were he able to generate tons of money and blitz the TV sets all across the country, things might be different. He might become well enough known to prevail.
My thought is that we should make a strong effort to retake the House, and then (a bone to you) if he is not nominated for President, make him Speaker.
Think for a minute if you will, about what conservative goals could be accomplished with any Republican President and a good solid Conservative like Duncan Hunter as Speaker.
“Thompson is the only Conservative candidate that can bring the whole party to the general election.”
Most Americans OPPOSE ANY amnesty for ANY illegal aliens. Fred Thompson will NOT get their Republican vote.

Nothing odd about Bush 41 being “followed by” (as you put it) Clinton.
Bush 41 was running for reelection and he lost to Bill Clinton. People like Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot helped that happen, and Bush 41 himself did not run a good campaign.
However, no matter what he or others did or didn’t do, the country fell for the flim flam man Bill Clinton, and they would do so if he ran again.
We are a country of smucks. Quite a few Republicans have been smitten by Huckabee. Another Bill Clinton-like schmooze artist with a silver tongue.
The party will align behind Thompson when he takes the nomination. Like it or not .
Duncan is leaving his House seat. His son, Duncan Dwayne Hunter, right now in Afghanistan, is running for that seat. Or did you not know that?
Probably did not know that.
I hold the man in very high regard.
That chumminess seems to have happened after the two agreed to work together to raise money for the tsunami victims. Both men do dearly love golf and both are members of the very small ex-President club. As far as Clinton succeeding Bush 41, there wasn’t anything odd about it at all. Bush 41 lost an election to Clinton, with help from people like Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, for instance, and from the fact that Bush 41 could not mount a good reelection effort. However, the main reason it happened is that this country stupidly fell for Bill Clinton and it would elect him again today if he ran.
I do as well. I wish he would stay in the House but I understand his decision. He’s been there a long, long time. He’s not getting any younger and I don’t think he wanted to be Speaker. He never ran for it far as I know. There has to be something good in store for him, surely, at least I want to believe there is. Someone like him, a rarity, has got to count for something in these perilous times.
