I have had enough of 0bama with his out and out lies and the media repeating them and not challenging the facts with the government 'healthcare' debate. It has been good to see the 'angry mobs' challenging those trying to hoodwink the people with this disaster and calling attention to how bad this will be, but we need a KO and no one to remain ignorant and confused on who is playing politics in this matter and the GOP needs to read SPECIFIC passages from this bill to point out the lies being spewed on a daily basis by those...

There will undoubtedly be Demonrats and their criminal cohorts checking in here and reveling in Republicans/conservatives upset about this 'election'. I would like to tell them exactly what this 'election' means and what THEY can expect.

We keep hearing about 'experience' to run for President and run the country, naturally only used against Gov. Sarah Palin. I am curious as to what you all find the proper experience to be nominated and elected?

Considering that this election is the most important thus far in our nation's history and that there is a media love affair with Obama and Demonrats by an obviously biased media, it is important that the Republican party/conservatives give their all and not be intimidated by the typical stereotypes and lies that the left will inevitably throw at our candidates this election. What should the strategy be for Republican candidates this election?

Considering this election has left us with less than desirable 'choices' for President and the GOP has gone more and more to the left, there is a strong possibility that come November we will be stuck with a Clintoon or Obama presidency. Now I ask what happens when they are in office and what conservatives should do in response to them and if it is really healthy to prevent them from being exposed as the danger they are to this country?

Now that it is pretty much official that John McCain is going to be the nominee, what does everyone plan to do for the November election? Do you plan to vote for McCain to keep Shrillary out or are you going to vote third party or not vote at all? I haven't been on this board much since Duncan Hunter dropped out and am really done with the GOP, but considering now is not the time where another party is in place to challenge I will vote for the 'lesser of the evils' in McCain just to keep the old...

KEENE – Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., tapped into the heart of the conservative base by addressing concerns of a lagging economy due to Chinese trade and his hopes of building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border during a campaign stop yesterday. "Right now there is a small green line between that border," said Hunter of the current border patrol. Hunter, who has represented San Diego in Congress since 1980 and is a ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, told Cheshire County Republicans yesterday he fought to build a fence on the California border and saw human and narcotic...

Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter's insistent warnings about China's military buildup have stamped him as the Paul Revere of the fast-developing 2008 campaign. China is picking America's pocket and using its ill-gotten gains to acquire ships, planes and missiles in a challenge to U.S. national interests, Hunter said. By cheating at trade, China also has been able to pirate many U.S. industries and high-paying manufacturing jobs, said Hunter, a 14-term congressman. AdvertisementSome experts say the Alpine Republican's relentless focus on Beijing's trade tactics is overwrought and ignores important economic benefits to the United States, including hundreds of billions of dollars'...

Just want to let you all know that you can watch GOP nominee Duncan Hunter's CPAC speech tonight at 8pm EST on C-Span. Chance to see and hear him for yourself.

They say it is rare for someone to announce a presidential candidacy in the state of South Carolina. Unless of course, the candidate comes from the Palmetto State. Duncan Hunter doesn't. His home is 2,288 miles to the west, where palm trees make us think of the natural beauty of the desert, not swamps. They also say it makes more sense, if you're a White House hopeful, to focus your early money and energy on the two states that hold the nation's first presidential contests for both political parties – Iowa and New Hampshire. The idea is to visit so...

Presidential candidates such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain have been campaigning in South Carolina, but only one has stopped into Greenwood so far. Duncan Hunter, a Republican congressman from California and presidential candidate, visited Calvary Chapel in Greenwood Friday morning. Students from nearby Greenwood Christian School and well-wishers from the Upstate came to hear Hunter talk about what he thinks are the important issues, including trade with China, illegal immigrants and the war in Iraq. Hunter came to Greenwood after John McCravy, chairman of the board of directors for Greenwood Christian School, saw him announce his candidacy...

Pressing for tougher national defense and updated trade deals, presidential candidate Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., spoke to students and community members in the basement of the Haldeman Center Monday night in an event sponsored by the Rockefeller Center and the College Republicans.

Hunter is the second of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates to speak at Dartmouth -- former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney spoke at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center earlier this...

Veterans from World War II through the current conflict in Iraq led off debate yesterday as the House of Representatives took up a resolution to oppose President Bush's troop increase for Iraq. "Walking in my own combat boots, I saw firsthand this administration's failed policy in Iraq," said Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., a 33-year-old freshman and the first Iraq combat veteran to serve in Congress. Rep. Duncan Hunter, 58, a California Republican and Vietnam veteran, argued a widely held opposing view, that the resolution signals "the first sound of retreat in the world battle against extremists and terrorists." With the...

Mel Martinez, R-Fla., the general chairman of the Republican National Committee, Saturday in Orlando as he continues a four-day swing through Florida in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Hunter is also scheduled to attend a cookout in the Panhandle town of Lamont, near Tallahassee. “We've invited him because we think he would be a remarkable presidential candidate and we want to introduce him to those people who can make a difference and get behind him,” former Florida state Rep. Randy Johnson, one of the cookout's hosts, told City...

There is a nice new Hunter article entitled "Hunter out to capture White House" at http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-02-01-duncan-hunter_x.htm

Republican leaders on the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday launched a push for more spending on classified space programs, stating that China's recent anti-satellite missile test ushered in a "new era of military competition." House Armed Services ranking member Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told reporters that the military needs a "new dimension" in its space capabilities after China successfully destroyed a low-orbit weather satellite in a test earlier this month. "That should sharpen our focus and redouble our efforts," Hunter said. Neither Hunter nor House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee ranking member Terry Everett, R-Ala., would discuss specific programs that...

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina (AP) -- Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter, best known for his advocacy on behalf of the military, launched a longshot bid for the presidency Thursday in this early voting state. "Let's begin this race for the American presidency and let's win," Hunter, said, wrapping up 25 minute speech. The 14-term conservative from California, who has made no secret of his White House aspirations, set up a presidential exploratory committee last week. He initially announced his intentions in October, becoming the first GOP candidate to declare, and then began making stops in early primary and caucus states, including Iowa,...

Is it possible that Duncan Hunter's presidential campaign strategy – to win his party's nomination by painting himself as the most conservative of the Republican primary contenders – is already paying off? Certainly those promoting the Alpine congressman think so, as they trumpet a straw poll this month showing that GOP officials in Arizona's most populous county prefer Hunter to big-name Republicans such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich. Advertisement That poll, conducted at the yearly gathering of Maricopa County Republican officials, took the pulse of 458 precinct committee members. About 21 percent chose Hunter, with...

Considering the dangerous time we are in and the Iraq war and continual threats we are facing from terrorists and with the American people forgetting 9/11 and the consequences more and more I just wanted to know everyone's opinion on the upcoming election and if it would be more helpful for the nominee to have military experience?
