Totally Appalled
I realize that we are still 21 months away from the 2008 elections, but it seems the presidential cycle has started early. This is the first election in more than a generation that doesn't have a sitting president or vice-president on the ballot, so it seems natural that we have had almost a dozen people already announce their intentions to run for president.
Without running down the list of announced candidates and why I wouldn't vote for them, or would for that matter, the purpose of this publication is to throw my support behind the only man in the race so far who is a true conservative, not a RINO republican who is trying to convince the Conservative base that he is something he is not. That candidate is Duncan Hunter.
Duncan Hunter is the only conservative in the list of announced candidates. He is the only candidate who supports the reduction of the size of government while staying in the fight against Islamic Fascism. He is also the only announced candidate that wants to do something about the illegal alien invasion we face on our borders that doesn't come with a compromise of a guest worker program and/or amnesty.
Unfortunately, Mr. Hunter has a strike against him. That strike is in the name of radio talk show host Sean Hannity. Mr. Hannity likes to call himself a "Reagan Conservative". He does so so much that Hannity has coined the phrase "What Would Reagan Do?" It seems though that so far in the '08 campaign, Mr. Hannity has chosen to not really care about what Reagan would do, and has given his air time to the likes of John McCain and Rudy Guiliani. I realize that Hannity is king of his airtime, but please, Sean, put the hypocracy aside for just a minute. If you actually believe you are a Reagan Conservative, instead of telling your audience of 15 million people that you don't think Duncan Hunter, a true Reagan Conservative, has the name recognition to win, while giving McCain and Guiliani the campaign contribution that you accuse the main stream media of giving to Hillary Clinton, read up on Mr. Hunter, and give him the same consideration you are giving the RINO candidates.
In this early stage of a campaign season which is not only being accelerated by the main stream media, but also you, Mr. Hannity, to cast off Duncan Hunter because of his lack of name recognition, while you have a voice, a platform, and the ability to make Duncan Hunter the rock star you have made McCain, is hypocritical at its best. With your constant blather about how you first and foremost always ask "What would Reagan Do?", you have a chance to really show that you believe that and do your research on Duncan Hunter. The dance culminates some 21 months from now Mr. Hannity. Don't cast off the only real conservative in the race so far because his "Name Recognition" doesn't translate to ratings in your book. Prove the many in your audience that don't really believe you are a Reagan Conservative that they are wrong. Research Duncan Hunter's record and give him the same consideration you are giving those with that name recognition. Yes, Those RINOs in the race.
I'll give you a hand, Mr. Hannity...
Start here:
I aim to make Duncan a household name by the time the primaries hit, in spite of what the man with an audience of 15 million has for an opinion.
