Of Pragmatism and Principles
Contributed by The Gray Dog The Gray Dog’s Note: Some of my friends are for this candidate, while some of my friends are not. I am for my friends! Can one be pragmatic without abandoning one’s principles? Pragmatism versus Principles: In politics, must one always supersede the other? In recent days I’ve begun to see a number of vets, including friends and colleagues, forming up to support a candidate based upon shared beliefs and principles. Their support is going to a former Vietnam veteran who is a strong conservative, pro troops, pro vets, pro gun, and pro life, with a strong record against illegal immigration. The movement is on, the game is afoot, and my fellow vets, my friends, my colleagues are advocating for Duncan Hunter. Duncan who? |

That doesn't by any means mean we can't make our thoughts known as individuals. I agree with you (and Larry and Pete) that Duncan Hunter would make a good, possibly great, President. I also agree with you that it isn't going to happen, for reasons you've explained well. I'm personally hoping at this point for a Giuliani/Hunter ticket. You can't beat New York/San Diego for geographic balance and Duncan could offset some of Rudy's more liberal leanings on immigration and 2nd Amendment issues. The main thing, above all, is to keep the White House out of Dhimmicrat hands. Posted by: | Feb 8, 2007 12:14:59 AM |
