I prefer a man more in the mold of John Wayne with actual military experience and the strength of character and leadership like Hunter.

Not to be nit-picky, but John Wayne, one of my favorite actors and Americans, was never in the military.

I understand what you are trying to say, but you picked the wrong man for comparison. Fred Thompson is much more Waynelike than Duncan Hunter. I can assure you that if I didn't know any of these men at all and walked into a room full of people that included these gentlemen, John Wayne & Fred Thompson would garner my attention, Duncan wouldn't.

The slovenly look that someone mentioned earlier fits Hunter. I mentioned to my son just a few days ago that the guy always looks like he just stepped off of a long flight.

People should consider that it's not a matter of voting for someone with talking points to their liking. The trick is getting your talking points into the Republican National Platform, then putting forth a Republican that is electable.

My point is that there was criticism of the way Duncan Hunter comes across. I answered that he comes across in a John Wayne way manly way, but unlike John Wayne-being in reality-he actually has military experience.

I have to laugh when you say Fred Thompson is more comparable to John Wayne. Hell no! Duncan Hunter is a bear of a man who clearly comes across as the Army Airborne Ranger he is! And when it is compared an 'actor' to someone who has actually served and been an influential member of Congress on defense issues as Chairman and now ranking member, with a son who has done duty in Iraq, THE ACTOR WILL NOT MATTER. People are FAR more impressed with that. Hunter is presidential with the ability to communicate and cut through Demonrat propaganda. Not many Republicans venture to take on the PC cr*p like Hunter does. He has continued to be at the forefront. The GOP needs a leader like Hunter. NO MORE new tone.

Point is, Hunter retains the conservative principles that is(or was) the bedrock of the GOP and is the best possible candidate. To hell with the argument of electability because there is no sure thing and it matters how well the candidate campaigns. Hunter is the best possible choice. And he will make the best President. America needs Duncan Hunter.

Oh yes, how could I forget this 'slovenly' argument??!! Like I said about Fred. He is not good looking. He is not Mr. Smiley Face. His hair is a mess, what he has of it. Hunter beats him there, too. I'm a 30 yr. old female and I think Hunter is nice looking and commands respect and the type women will look to as keeping our country safe. That's where I compare Hunter to John Wayne, appearance wise. He's that type.
