“Ok, lets look at Hunter WITHOUT the assessment of the Club for Growth or the National Taxpayers union. This is from my previous post:”

You just copyed and pasted from Club for Growth again.

"Wow thats a brilliant position. Instead of having perhaps 25 states outlaw abortion outright, saving the lives of millions, you are content on keeping RvW in tact. How do you think abortion will be outlawed and how do you think a President can even do that?I am beginning to think the pro life movement doesn’t really want to end abortion. Perhaps its become too big of a money making industry for them too." "the prolife moement?" Perhaps you have revealed more than you intended. We are not as gullible as you seem to think. It is very revealing to me that so many of you guys keep insisting that there are only 2 options toending this slaughter-the 2 you guys keep offering. There is at least one other way. Those of us who care about life, and have read Roe v. Wade (and the trash it is) see it as very glaring.

Yup, the ‘military industrial complex’ has become a political cliche which has negative feelings attached.

Cliches oughtn't shield any federal branch from scrutiny into its spending. Sorry.

Please tell me the solution then.

Over the last few weeks they have remained at 0.1%, with the volume staying put at 27778.

Nice understatement. It's been at 0.1 (dollars per share, not percent) since early July, not just "the last few weeks".

The volume looks to be total shares traded ever, not on a daily basis. Looking at the advanced graphing link, one can easily see that there has been no appreciable activity on the contract AT ALL since mid-October, and the trade price still remained constant at 0.1 even then.

I do note, however, that there now appear to be more (by about 7 to 8 percent) shares available today at 0.1 (the minimum trading price) than there were a couple of days ago, which means interest in Hunter is actually fading on the market, and that people are trying to dump shares if anyone will buy them.

Here is my source to debunk the liberal talking points that Military/Industrial complex is the evil pig of our societies spending. We are becoming a social state, not a military one. All the other graphs you will find only cover the last few years or give a comparison to US defense spending vs that of other countries...hmmmm.

Only here for a sec but have you seen any of Fred's anti-gun senate bills?

There are none. GOA's "analysis" is a crock and a deception.

I too am “trying to make a difference” a POSITIVE difference. And as far as I am concerned, Duncan Hunter, while a good man, and acceptable to me as a nominee, is far from the most conservative candidate in the field, and he is a terrible campaigner. He is going absolutely nowhere.

The same thing is true of another man I respect and admire, Tom Tancredo.

The sooner these men drop out and endorse someone with a chance of winning, the greater their influence will actually be in the party and in the race.

Now, I’d like to ask you, but I don’t think you would like to answer, and I respect that, but I’m curious. If Tancredo and Hunter should both drop out, who from among the remaining field whould you think they would or should endorse?

Your source just got deleted or it is the wrong page.

“You can even pull out the “no” vote on CAFTA, as I am against both NAFTA and CAFTA albeit for different reasons than those normally cited.”

Then Club for Growth will give your favorite boy a bad score too.

Is this all you can come up with?

NO on NAFTA
YES on No Child Left Behind
YES on Sarbanes-Oxley
YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
NO on CAFTA
YES on 2005 Highway Bill
YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted
NO on McCain-Feingold)

What is No Child Left Behind?
What is Sarbanes-Oxley?
What is 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit?
What is 2005 Highway Bill?
What is 527 bill?
Everyone knows what McCain Feingold is.

You cut and paste it, its up to you to get into the details. Fun details too, finance bills are so exciting to go through with a fine tooth comb.

“Your source just got deleted or it is the wrong page.”

National Taxpayers Union? Its working for me.

[Hunterite]

“Cliches oughtn’t shield any federal branch from scrutiny into its spending. Sorry.”

Fine, you want House Armed Services Committee to cut military spending? Take it up with them, and Code Pink.

That’s a big leap there. I too like the idea of smaller government, but I also know we need to be at the tables of power to get there. That takes winning elections.

Despite our best wishes, we have to deal with being a minority voice in a Federal Republic.

To change the game we have to be the winners. Otherwise we are just those crazy folks bitching a lot...

Thanks for bumping the thread. I’ll be answering pings in the order they came in.
