Okay...now you've crossed the line...and now you know why a lot of us hate...yes hate...Duncan Hunter people for ruining Free Republic.
This used to be a great site...you folks have ruined it forever. A lot of us have left. I have stopped supporting financially. Duncan Hunter is a loser politician who stayed in his "safe" Congressional seat for 30 years without accomplishing anything more. He will NEVER be MY President.
I'm kicking myself for being nice to you for so long.
Wow. I’m not sure what I’ve done, so I can’t apologize for it, but I am sorry you feel that way. Have a good night.
Just for the heck of it, I will add that I haven’t been around much in a few months, but when I was here I didn’t realize that anyone actually hated Hunter. Some were supporters and some didn’t care about him, but I never came across anyone who actually hated him. First time for everything, I guess.

Wow, where did that come from?
Congressman Hunter is a good guy - its natural that Freepers would be taking a look at him.
I don’t think he’s quite The Guy, though.
When I see Congressman Hunter, I think - “Secretary of Defense” rather than “Commander in Chief.”
But even if he’s not The Guy that doesn’t make Freepers who disagree into bad people.
I wonder just whether to believe you ever did. Since you are so busy "hating" other freepers who are conservative.
Sheesh.
Actually he is a conservative. And he has been a winner. From Day One when he came in with Reagan.
... who stayed in his "safe" Congressional seat for 30 years
Safe? What do you know about it? Honestly. And it was 27 years so far. Do you know how Democrat-oriented his particular District is? How often the Democrats in Sacramento kept gerry-mandering his District to oust him? And how he kept confounding them by appealing to Blue Collar Reagan Democrats...and winning by 70% ...in an UNSAFE district.
... without accomplishing anything more.
There are a huge number of accomplishments which you are apparently oblivious. Not the least is that people also serve who stand and wait. His role was to work for our legislation. And his fidelity thereto was dramatically superior to the last three Presidents. I will note just two of the many areas he has demonstrated that fidelity in:
(1) He has been watching our backs.
He helped pilot Reagan's Defense-Buildup through Congress...and kept an eye out for our military and tried to protect it ever since from the ravages of the Xlinton's, and sad to say of them (but it is undeniable), the Bushes. He has been instrumental at ensuring whatever degree of preparedness, readiness and strategic strength we still have. He was the one who helped keep the Tomahawks flying when Xlinton and Bush allowed its critical subcomponentry to be outsourced to Euroean nations. He helped the troops get their armor after Xlinton and Bush allowed the steel capability to wither here...and fought against the Xlinton Democrat-controlled GAO Reports which proclaimed we had "far more steel capacity" than we needed for defense. LOL! Idiots. But he was far more polite than most of us would be about it.
He is the institutional memory of our Defense needs.
(2) Border Guardian. He has been a stalwart thorn in the side of the OBL crowd. He would guard the border, and deal with the illegals, the drug trade, and terrorists.
His walk, not just his talk shows this. He tried mightily to keep Reagan from making the mistake at the end of '86 and signing the Amnesty Bill foisted on him by liberals (RINOS and RATS both). The proponents to induce his signature, had solemnly promised to ensure, and fund, border security and that this was going to be a "one time" fix. Reagan's diaries make clear he thought he was being given that result. That he could trust those proponents. Duncan knew better...and tried to warn Reagan. History has vindicated him. He was right with the San Diego Border Fence, and the National Border Fence with Mexico. His idea. Its worked for San Diego. We need it across the rest of the border as outlined by Duncan. And he has busted this President (a former Governor), who signed it, for his non-feasance and neglect. Who is the better administrator here? Who can mind the store better? Who is watching our backs? He will NEVER be MY President.
This strident adamancy sounds mighty suspiciously anti-conservative. I can just picture you saying that about Reagan, as today we hear the DU Lefties saying it of Bush.
I'm kicking myself for being nice to you for so long.
While this was not directed at me, or the rest of Free Republic, it might as well be. This was a bald-faced admission that all you are looking for, and really all you have ever looked for, is a flame-war, not reasonable discussion. I commend laptop_ron for having stayed so polite and engaged despite your simmering whatever "it" is.
Which is not what Free Republic is intended for.
