Hunter for SecDef!
Nope.
Hunter 2012? If so, it needs to start in January of ‘09 to build up enough momentum to get him noticed next time.
Ditto...it took great effort to get Hunter on the ballot here, and I will cast my primary vote for him. Beyond that, I cannot promise anything else for the RINO party.
There’s certainly nothing else left to vote FOR...just voting AGAINST from here on out for the remainder of the year.
100% behind Duncan Hunter in 2012! The Republicans are going to lose this election so we better start thinking ahead.
The new anthem of the republicrat party!
What’s good for the Great Wall Mart of China
is what’s good for the U.S.A.
And by Dow Jones and all their little averages,
Don’t you forget it! Right, boys?
Right!
Three rousing rahs and a few hussahs
And a hip-hip-hip hooray
What’s good for Great Wall Mart of China
Is good for the U.S.A.
It’s the end of the world as we know it. Let’s look at the bright side...I think Hunter DID get 2% in Nevada...isn’t that twice as much as he got anywhere else?
These campaigns are rarely focused on the national issues about which we care so much, but they are still important. If you can help a good person win a lower office, that person may be running for higher office in the future. That run sometimes starts with that first city council race.
Even if the candidate isn't important, your help in the race will cause people to notice you. The local party will appreciate your help. That doesn't mean that you can dictate policy to anyone after having helped in one campaign. However, you will develop influence over time. Someday, if you want to take a shot at an office yourself, you will have built some support. Maybe you will be the person who runs someday to do the things that you wanted Duncan Hunter to be able to do.
Bill
Thanks for the blog, Ink, and for your stalwart support here on FR. I am glad you are here, FRiend :)
Grass revolt? As in “you put your weed in it”?
I had hope with Duncan Hunter. Gained respect with Glenn Beck. Lost respect for Fox, Hannity, Rush, O’Riley, not because they didn’t back him but because they deliberately refused to even mention him in the lineup. Never had respect for the rest of MSM, but have a new founded hate for them.
I’m done with the Republican party and many conservatives need to be ashamed of themselves. Duncan Hunter was the best opportunity to come around in 20 yrs. and exactly what the United States needed at this time. There is no one who is better prepared to lead this country on the tending liberal population of our country or with the threats we are facing from China, Russia and the terrorists. But the GOP chose to condone the despicable treatment of Duncan Hunter and many ‘conservatives’ as well. All for polls, empty ‘names’. Now it’s too late. We are in for a bad yr. and more and more bleak yrs. to come.
And please, unless you want to sound like some paranoid asshat from DU, lay off the conspiracy nonsense. It’s really gotten old. I'm tired of hearing how the MSM "conspired" against Duncan, how Fox "conspired" again him , etc. I haven't seen this many conspiract theories since the heyday of the John Birch Society.
Just change to “Democrat Haters Grass Revolt.”
Let’s turn our attention to Congress because the Presidency is already lost. Not one candidate remaining is worth your endorsement. You’re either going to get Hillary or Hillary Lite.
I’ll just go down the list:
Hunter is now out, then it’s Fred, then Ron Paul, who will most likely go third party.
Quite frankly, I'm appalled at the late behavior of many supposedly Conservatives posters on this board who unabashedly trashed and helped pull down an honest-to-goodness, dyed-in-the-wool Conservative candidate. Their attacks on Hunter brought great discredit to FR, and when the inevitable complaints and whining come down next year (regardless of whoever wins the general election) about how we never have any more Conservative leaders, I'll remember with a wry smile all the arguments recently made here about "electability" and having to accept the "lesser of evils."
To use a quaint analogy that I picked up last years during a business visit to an Indian reservation, the GOP (and FR to a certain extent) has become like a bucket of crabs, in which all the crabs fight and claw with one another and only work together to pull down those crabs smart enough to try and escape from the bucket.
At this point, it looks like my second choice, Fred Thompson is finished as well. So, when the rubber finally meets the road in November, I MIGHT be able to bring myself to vote for Romney, but under no circumstances will I vote for McCain or Giuliani. In fact, I'll vote for that nutcase Paul before I ever consider voting for those two charlatans.
I've said my piece, so now I'm going to let it go. But, I will continue to follow Hunter for the rest of his post-Congressional career, in the hope that he might become SecDef or even run again in 2012 should either Hillary or Obama win.
For many of the Fred-heads with whom we have battled over the past three months and were actually dancing on Hunter's grave last night, all I have to say is, you will soon reap what you sew, and ultimately inherit the wind.
Probably not.
Duncan who???
