But that was three days ago. As of Friday Rudith's 6 point lead is now down to 3 points.
I’m voting for my favorite conservative who can win.
GO, FRED!!
I lived in California for most of my life, am highly politically aware, and had never heard of Duncan Hunter.
My parents still live there, and they had never heard of him until I mentioned him.
Hunter is the “invisible candidate”. I think he would make a good VP, or head of Homeland Security, though. I’m backing Thompson, and I think he will win.
I don’t see him as an asset for the VP slot.
Many of his supporters appear to be completely unreasonable, and probably won’t support Fred. Fred won’t take CA. Hunter’s not a strategic benefit as VP.
Hunter’d be lovely as head of Homeland Security. THAT might engender more support for Fred than putting Hunter in the VP slot.
Any GOP candidate in kalifornia who polls anything showing strong popularity is a rarity.
UNLESS they are a RINO like Ahnold Swastikanegger.
We saaaaaaay we want someone with character and conservative values...who REALLY works hard and doesn't take "crap" from anyone/country.
We saaaay we want to support those that don't have the money people behind them, because they tend to tell the candidates how they SHOULD breathe, and yet....Duncan Hunter doesn't get the votes....very sad.
I just know how hard Duncan Hunter works for the right things for our country. I just haven't seen that in Fred. I have heard him speak, and he says the right things...I just haven't heard any of the "he's done this, and he's done that," that I know to be the case with HUNTER.
You're probably right though...many would wonder if you had a guy that's rumored to not work so hard combined with someone who's DEFINITELY got a fire under his behind and makes good use of every minute of the day...could be trouble in the White House. Secretary of Defense - Head of Homeland Security - all solid citizen, "action" type positions would fit HUNTER to a tee.
That's why all that support him, don't understand why POTUS isn't everyone's first choice for Hunter.
Down here, in "America's Finest City" Hunter's well known...he and his his serving in Iraq son, that is.
Again, I'm not trying to be one of those people you say are the "many" that follow Hunter, I just want to point certain truths out to those reading this thread.
I lived in Saratoga most of my life. Never heard of him.
My parents visit San Diego frequently, as they have family and friends down there. Never heard of him.
Fred did a lot toward improving fiscal responsibility and in the foreign relations area while in the Senate. Just because he didn’t choose YOUR pet projects doesn’t mean his work didn’t have value.
You kind of sound like a hard liner.
And today, I agree with you for the same reasons. Yet, I also understand those that feel "gun shy" to do it again and not vote super Conservative this time.
I really hope Thompson can do all the right things and have the all the abilities to FRY Hillary in the debates. I do. I also think Guiliani could debate the wench REALLY well, even with "one hand tied behind his back," yet I have my problems with him. I've heard him speak and he says many of the things I want to hear, too.
Okay, that's the not so good news. The good news is...we have some great choices in our "pool" and the Left is left with "the wench."
The MSM is scared to death of Hunter, and won’t give him airtime......never have.
