Good catch.

Yep, the powers that be are defining our campaign for us as they have the GOP. They don’t want us voting a conservative in office; and they don’t want us to even think about it. They want to keep us divided to keep us under control so they can choose the next POS.

I don’t know about you; but I am really angry.

Just about everyone on FR likes and agrees with Hunter, and that probably also goes for Republicans and conservatives generally.

But he doesn’t have that certain something, call it charisma or whatever.

Not to mention that I’ve heard his campaign press manager being interviewed in a broadcast forum with honchos from other campaigns, and he is flat-out dull as donuts, and not terribly articulate. 95 percent of the press/PR people I’ve ever known (in a previous professional life) are outgoing, fun, smart, responsive, and ..... relentless. Hunter’s flak seems like the opposite.

I am more than angry....I am scared because they are getting away with it.

Just this morning on CNN..( gives a fair coverage of Hunter, more so than FOX)...

they listed the six candidates (no Hunter)

..but when it came to displaying who had actual delegates, they HAD to include Hunter, even with his ONE he has more than Giuliani or Paul...

..but Giuliani still gets face time, news bits, cute stories, etc.
Paul too.

I'm in this with Hunter because someone or something is diabolically keeping him out of this race and I'm mad as heck and not going to take it anymore!

What is really really telling about this whole thing is, those who bash Duncan Hunter or take issue with his campaign, maybe 95% of them do it on the "handicapping issue", i.e. as if the race were a horse race. "Oh, this one is behind, so I don't like him".

That tells you something when you can have all kinds of deep arguments and discussions here on FR over the philosophies and track records of Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, Thompson, Paul, Romney. So many objectionable things have arisen about all six of these men.

But when it comes to DUNCAN HUNTER, just about all they have is "He Cannot Win!"

What kind of country have we turned into? What kind of conservatives have we turned into?

I swear, sometimes I think those supposedly on The Right have balls made of marshmallows rather than steel. The MSM did a pretty good job, this year.

Maybe it is payback for "Buckhead" four years ago.

“If fighting terrorism and securing the border really are priorities of the GOP, then what credentials do Romney, Huckabee and Giuliani have?”

Credentials? The Kennedy wing of the Gop don’t need no steenkin’ credentials!
