Hunter for President
What are our choices in 08? Ron Paul?, generally I like him, but he's wrong on the war, Mike Huckabee? Another big government Republican, Mitt Romney? Photogenic, smooth and polished, but will he be reliably pro-life? Rudy? Don't even go there, McCain? Don't think so. Alan Keyes? Heck yes, but already committed to Duncan Hunter. Give me a Hunter/Keyes ticket!!!!
Mr. Huckabee? I'd prefer Duncan Hunter
Despite recent surges in poll numbers, I remain skeptical about Mike Huckabee. One reason is that just two months ago, Mr. Huckabee struggled to gain a voice at the GOP debates, now he's among the top tier candidates? Something strange there. Also, from what I've gathered about his time as Governor of Arkansas, it appears that Mike Huckabee is a big government Republican (and frankly, I'm sick of those). There is good news, there is a conservative in the field with verifiable experience in national security, immigration AND is solidly pro-life. That candidate is Duncan Hunter. I've posted these before, but thanks to the Hunter campaign, I'll do so again. Here are some very compelling reasons to vote for Duncan Hunter.
1) He is the most conservative candidate in the race. He has a 92% lifetime rating, American Conservative Union.
2) He is the "National Security" candidate. He served with the 173rd Airborne and the 75th Army Rangers in Vietnam, and was, most recently, the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives. Duncan Hunter knows defense.
3) He is a strong supporter of missile defense.
4) He's a strong supporter of Israel.
5) He was responsible for building the fence along the Mexico-U.S. border in San Diego. That double fence cut smuggling (people and drugs) over 90%.
6) He opposes the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty bill in the Senate.
7) He is a co-sponsor of the Fair Tax.
8) He was the co-sponsor of a bill that would require a 2/3 majority in Congress to raise taxes.
9) He is a strong proponent of fair trade and will fix some of the bad trade deals that have been made by previous administrations in order to keep high paying jobs in America.
10) He pledges to appoint originalist judges like Antonin Scalia.
11) He has a 100% Pro-Life rating from National Right to Life.
12) He believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. He supports a Constitutional Amendment to protect marriage.
13) He is a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment who has an A+ National Rifle Association rating.
14) He supports school choice.

Sign of Manhood
Yes, I know the title of this post is going to drive the feminists wild. I know that the liberals are going to say, there is no need for true masculine attributes in the post-modern world. I utterly refute that thinking. To the contrary, what the post-modern world needs is the model of masculinity, Jesus Christ. After that, we need men willing to say what they mean and mean what they say, forget the political expediency.
What is a sign of true manhood? It means when you say you are going to do something, you do it. Jim Gilmore has done that in the years that he has served the Commonwealth of Virginia. He has kept his word. Are we going to agree on every issue? Of course not. However, I would trust a man who gives his word and keeps it than one who says the right things, but goes back on them like Mark Warner. Who would you trust?
Friends, we have such a man running for the United States Senate. His name is Jim Gilmore. Check out his campaign website and see for yourself.

Update: Good Sense supports Jim Gilmore
Friends in the ODBA and the few readers of this blog. I'm feeling better with each day that passes. My arm is healing and Physical Therapy is going well. During my leave of absence, I've been pondering a few things that I will blog about in the coming weeks. However, the first issue that I've been thinking about is the 08 Senate race. I'm pleased to announce that I'm supporting Jim Gilmore for the GOP nomination. I admit that I was an early supporter of an Eric Cantor draft movement, but that has fizzled.
I believe that whatever shortcomings Mr. Gilmore has on issues, he makes up for in political and personal courage. When the pundits and the tax and spenders said cutting the car tax would sink the Commonwealth, Governor Gilmore withstood the pressure and fought for the cuts. I sincerely hope that Governor Gilmore will stand with those who are dedicated to the preservation of human life from conception. Mr. Gilmore, you have my support. I trust you with my most sacred civic posession, my vote.

I'm back
Just in time for the Christmas and Thanksgiving (yes, I called it Christmas) seasons, I'm still recovering from surgery to my arm, but am well enough to post lightly over the next few months. Things are going well, feeling better each day, but still a long way to go. Thanks to everyone who mentioned a prayer for me during this time. Also, thanks to my brothers and sisters in the ODBA, you guys are the best!!!!
