		<description>[...] Listen to Your Gut, not the talking Heads. Your candidate should be forthright, honest, reliable and free from scandal. To vote for someone without these qualities is a terrible disservice to your country. Your candidate should not be expected to know everything about every issue – no one does. However, your candidate should be able to demonstrate the ability to get good information and make rational decisions. [...]</description>

		<description>Anyone who listens to the pundits has to be brain dead.  Even on Fox the Brit Hume panel is so out of step with the ordinary American.  I know what's going to come out of their mouths before they do.

		<description>To Eli (good to hear from a loyal radio listener) and Terry,

By all means vote for Hunter in the primary.  He would make a wonderful nominee for the Republican Party.  Remember, you are not voting for president, you are voting for the nominee.  Once the nominees are chosen, there will be plenty of money -- and time for those chosen to make their case to the American people.  The cream will rise to the top and the blemishes will be exposed.  Hunter would not beat Hillary or Obama in a direct match up today because most people do not know who he is --- they should but they don't.  Therefore, match ups this early are meaningless. 

More importantly, vote with your dollars -- even if you have only a few dollars.  Ron Paul supporters understood that -- early on -- dollars are the only real votes that count in the early going.  

Good job in Iowa Joe!

Go to the category of "Presidential Race" and read "How You can Pick the Next President and look at the math.

Bear in mind, even if Hunter isn't the nominee, if he gets a lot of votes it will send a strong message.  It will empower other good candidates and the party will be stronger for it.

Don't listen to the pundits or the pollsters early on.  That is why the Republican Party is leaning so far left.</description>

		<description>Hi, Jane!  Was just thinking about you today!  Wow--haven't read anthing by you in a coon's age! Good to see you're still going strong.  Am living in San Diego now--a sanctuary city...so Illgl. Immigration is on the top of my list.  Ron Paul doesn't quite cut it; so Duncan Hunter is my pick--he "built the fence" so does not just "stand on" the fence!  God bless, and happy New Year!--Love in Him,     Eli Rector   Rom.8:28-37*</description>

		<description>Dear Jane,

Very wise head's-up to the populace!

What I am so concerned about is that the candidate I would vote for in a heartbeat
isn't a front-runner and probably due to lack of funds; Duncan Hunter!

Incorporating what you see as your most important considerations, I see
Duncan Hunter as the ONLY candidate --failing that,  Ron Paul -- and yet not only some Conservatives, but also the Liberals who are subliminally pushing duplicitous candidates like Huckabee so that they can milk the "separation of Church and State" LIE that they have disseminated, in convincing people that Christian tenets will be forced on them. 

Happily as I write, Rush just replied positively to a caller who asked, "Rush, do you think there will be a movement to draft Duncan Hunter?"  I surely hope and pray so!

In the end people will vote for a Liberal rather than a loser cause they don't really know what devious losers Liberals really are.

I was pleased that I had long ago chosen Duncan Hunter and learned that he was also Ann Coulter's choice, after the fact.  She chastised Hannity for rarely giving Duncan more than a token mention.

All the best,
Terry</description>

		<description>Jane,

Good article on how important these primaries are! They are actually more important than the general election as this point. I am an Iowa Caucus goer and I would like to see this system scrapped because an absentee ballot is not allowed and it is outright discriminatory to those who can't make the caucus. It is after all...a joke! I have been fighting with bias and discrimination against my candidate out here because of his strong stance on the Constitution. Take Care!
