Don’t confuse prty trimming with personal belief.
There are a great many places where I'm sure Duncan Hunter would love for the US to trade with, including your beautiful Iceland. Icelandinc Vodka for Chevys sounds good to me....
Merry Christmas all!!
Merry Christmas back at you! And you have a great home page, too.
Tell me - are Icelandic women all that they're cracked up to be? I might need to make a ski trip the FR Iceland chapter if so....
(And how is the skiing there, by the way?)
RAGE Boy!!!
Thank you very much! :)
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

I agree more with Thompson than any other candidate. Unfortunately, leadership qualities are of utmost importance. During the above-mentioned hearings, Fred allowed himself to be completely rolled by Sen John Glenn (who sold out his country for another ride in space) and the Dem's lawyer, who may have been Richard Ben Venista IIRC. Thompson was the chairman, but did not have control. It was infuriating how often he was outwitted. Clinton's anti-American-interest behavior re the Chicoms should have been exposed to the world.
I can see Rudy or Romney standing up to offensive and lying dems or heads of state, but not Thompson. We simply do not have one candidate who has all the qualities we want in a President. Hopefully, we do not keep having infighting for so long that a 'rat gets into the White House.
I agree but I just wish he could get some traction. As Rush says, it is up to them to make themselves stand out. So far, not much from Hunter, sorry to say. Get that man a good campaign manger!!
Third party is doomed to failure. The Democrat/socialists/communists are united and will vote in a block--about 43-49% of the vote based on the last few elections. Just read a portion of Whittaker Chambers book "Witness" about the devotion of most communists. They stick together.
It's like the guy said, "Huckabee's lying about that was a mistake. He just thought he could get away with it."
yitbos
However, if presented with a situation where the GOP nominee has no chance, as we would be if Huckabee somehow got the nomination, then I would consider using this as the opportunity to send the message. There would be no damage from my vote, and maybe it would help reform the party for a better run the next time.
I think Huckabee's chances of getting the nomination are very slim, though, so it is merely a hypothetical. I am a Hunter 1st Fred 2nd no one else third voter. If Hunter can't do it, then I sure hope Fred pulls it out in South Carolina. I would accept and vote for Romney or Giuliani in the general election, but not gladly. They have a shot at winning, so I would not support a third party candidate against them, as it would only ensure the election of Hillary or the Obamanation.
Pretty much the way I think Defiant. Thanks.
Thanks, I didn’t think Bolton and Gaffney were tied into the Huckester.
Bolton and Gaffney have to much self respect to get involved with such a dufus like the Huckester.
Yes, not only do their views vastly differ from Huck’s, but they have their reputations to consider.
:o)
They would be ruined for life, both going back over the years and looking forward. Sort of like Roger Clemens being accused of using steriods. Only they would be volunteering their own demise, instead of, like Roger, being harmed by another...
As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).
&&&&
And after his committee had identified connections with the Clinton admin, it turned into a big “oh, well” as John Glenn, the ranking member for the dems, talked rings around Fred. It was excruciatingly painful to watch day after day. I have no confidence in his ability to stand up to dems, nevermind foreign enemies.
I will not vote for this man. He's a fake and he's from Arkansas, he'll only protect Hillary and Bill.
Duncan Hunter has been on interview after interview, and imo, Rush should help Hunter out.
As a congressperson Hunter isn’t that well known, so could use some help from the conservative media. And it wouldn’t hurt if Hunter was a multi millionaire, and could use his own money like some, but he’s not.
We the People aren’t Rush, but we can help Hunter out by calling talk shows, donating to his campaign, and/or calling conservative talks shows.
Here’s one of the things that I did:

A pre-9/11 Presidential candidate
Who would have thought that we would see
A choice as weak as Huckabee?
Another Clinton, who when pressed,
Will not defend the brave, free West.
“Fools rush in,” it’s often said.
But wimpy men can make us dead.
