Comments on: Hunter stays in GOP presidential race http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/03/hunter-stays-in-gop-presidential-race/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mike http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/03/hunter-stays-in-gop-presidential-race/#comment-224386 Mike Sun, 06 Jan 2008 22:14:53 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/03/hunter-stays-in-gop-presidential-race/#comment-224386 theroy and lets go with the obvious, of the two parties people have seen that the republican party has really dropped the ball and the democrats acting as if " when they get the chance things will be better" have not got much done but that is because democrats could not get enough republicans to jump on the band wagon to get enough power to over ride the presidents veto. That being said the democrats have at least tried to make a change and thats a big reason why i am and have stayed with the democratic party. So of the democratic hopefuls we have primarily three front runners edwards, obama, clinton two of the three are runnning on the principle of change which leaves Hillary Clinton. As a country we have had politicians constantly balk about change and what they are going to do this has gone on forever. Fact is i would rather have a person who has had years of experience doing what the others can only wish they that they could say the same. Im voteing for Hillary. theroy and lets go with the obvious, of the two parties people have seen that the republican party has really dropped the ball and the democrats acting as if " when they get the chance things will be better" have not got much done but that is because democrats could not get enough republicans to jump on the band wagon to get enough power to over ride the presidents veto.

Its going to take years if not decades just to fix the mess bush has left us in. If we get to that point then we can start to work on what to do to fix the political monster we face. If we have not destroyed ourselves when this change comes about and im not talking about big broad steps because its going to have to be a little at a time. Its like this giant tree in your path and there is no way to get around it and the only thing you have to whittle away at it is a hand saw. Anyway being the political choices are what they are and everybody has their arguments about which party and which candidate to chose.

I think weak men are so scared of stong women that the only way they can stand themselves is to critisize women. Hillary Clinton is one of the hardest working women in US Senate. Compare (if you can bear it ) her record with Barak Obama's record. Hillary's work ethic would put most of us to shame. I want someone who can GET IT DONE. We need health care, more jobs, less discrimination, better education. etc. etc. I am so incensed when I read about how Barak Obama is going to change things. That's exactly what our current President mouthed before he stole the Election with some help from Daddy and the Power Brokers in the GOP. Barak Obama may be sincere and well meaning, however he knows zilch about how things get changed in DC. Please, for God's sake are we going to elect another "pretty face with little experience" again? Look what a wonderful mess we are in now due to George Bush's mistakes too numerous to count.

Please do your homework. High taxes, state paid for tuition for illegal aliens! He isn't even supported by his own home state. (they endorsed Thompson) He asked for embargoes to end against Cuba. The fact that he is a Christian is great, but he doesn't even have his degree in Theology (he dropped out). Don't be duped. Even the Dems want him to get nominated, because they feel he is easy to pick off. He is selling "Jimmy Carter" folksey. Iowa doesn't set the tone for the Nation (ask President Kerry, Dean and Gore). South Carolina is a much better gage. Romney, same (changed his mind on abortion, come on!) McCain-one word "Amnesty", please! The only real conservative candidates are Duncan and Thompson. Now ask yourself, who do think the Democrats ( the press) and our enemies, don't want, who worries Clinton (who will get the nom.) because he would tear her apart.

Since it looks as if Dems are hungry to steal this one this year then expect to see Hunter again in 2012. Right now though, he is naive thinking he can stick to his guns and still play ball with the neocons. Go home, brush up on your Constitution and check in on us in a few years.

Also, the GOP claims to be the party that is suited to win the War on Terror, yet they ignore Hunter who has actually fought in a war, and whose son has served 3 tours in the WOT.

I do have to wonder how is he going to do all the necessary campaigning without money or support. I doubt that he could even make the short list of possible V.P. candidates no matter who is nominated. This guy has one subject that he really focuses on -- China and their trade practices with a side of illegal immigration. There was little that I could note in the debates that really went beyond that. I'd be surprised if there was any more mention of him in the most of the media outlets.

He has less than 5 percent in polls and has been campaigning for literally years. It's time to give up, Duncan. Go home and tell your grandkids about your days of shooting racoons with bb guns. You might strike more interest with them than you did with voters nationwide, and especially in Iowa.

The others will have a hard time overcoming the outcome in Iowa. Iowa is only one state. But, like minds think alike. Huckabee seems more presidential than Hunter who should bow out gracefully now. The Republicans should quickly get behind a single candidate. I think the field is narrowing to Huckabee and Romney for the Republicans.
