Duncan Hunter offers a return to Reaganism
Duncan Hunter Offers a Return to Reaganism
With Duncan Hunter’s appearance on Glenn Beck tonight, Mr. Madison gives us an additional treat.
Alexander J. Madison - November 9, 2007
Most rock ribbed conservatives have been either very disappointed or simply bewildered by the GOP and its leaders since Ronald Wilson Reagan returned to his beloved California ranch in 1989. The cowboy boots he left have not been filled since that time. There is no doubt that Reagan is a giant among Presidents in our great nation’s history. Polls of serious historians and citizens alike usually place the Gipper in the top 5 or 10, out of the 43 commanders in chief we have had over 220 years in this Constitutional Republic. I personally put him in the top 3.
Of course, we have since had some genuinely high moments as conservatives. The election euphoria of Bush 41 and Bush 43 over some truly repugnant socialists, the 1994 Contract with America with its historical gains for Republicans in Congress, and lightning quick victory over Saddam in both Gulf Wars I & II. But something went missing along the way. That something is Reaganism.
Congressman Hunter is a good man, and has been an excellent U.S. Representative. I don’t think that at this point he is a viable candidate anymore.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him at the Iowa Straw Poll, but his turnout was dismal. I’m personally endorsing Huckabee. I’m thinking Hunter will be on the short list for VP or Secretary of Defense (which I think he would be excellent at).
One note Sam,
Just two simple facts you need to understand:
1) Duncan Hunter has ZERO chance of being nominated.
2) Statistics clearly show abortion rates decreased more in developed countries where abortion is generally safe and legal.

William,
Thanks for your input. I prefer to fight for what I believe to be right as opposed to accepting the mandate from the media and the party elites which dictates that liberal or liberal-lite must be nominated in order to further their agenda. I choose to oppose the open borders, no morals, corporate officers’ interests first mind set that pushes Giuliani.
I believe in science, William, and so I am convinced that if no abortion would be necessary if those that receive them would abstain.
