He's on my short list.
I did. First time I'v had on tv news in sooooo long.
It was great. Some of what he said was after 9-11 our borders should be about national security not immigration.
Finally, we have a voice on the national scene.
The question is whether he would get any RNC money or support. It was reported, during the past November election, that RNC support was noticeably absent in the cases of some conservative Repubican incumbents...
???
Yes we do. He gets my vote.
If he doesn't get RNC money, it's further proof that the RNC has been hijacked.
Duncan Hunter for President!
I agree, Wolfe did his best to set Duncan Hunter up. Give me a break. Wolfe didn't dig up comments made by his other guest that were three years old. Unlucky for him Duncan has a pair.
Duncan needs to get several small donations behind him. If he does, he can win
That is encouaging. Thanks.
They add up quickly.
Great to have you. The Duncan Hunter supporters are a fine mix of social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, religious conservatives, infidels, and right-wing extremists. I really have benefited greatly from being on these threads daily.
Excellent!
Thanks

"Rudy McRomney" will will probably raise $100 million. $6-8 million is chump change. That's not enough to make a dent.
All Hunter really needs is to have people know his name, see and hear him and learn about his stances and he will continue to gain support.
Just some background info on Hunter and his outspoken nature to go where not many(I don't think any) Republicans go with their spineless nature.

Probably the single loudest obstructionist voice in the House of Representatives in support of the Cheneyac "Beastman" policy in Iraq has been Armed Services Committee chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Hunter has been able to use his position to block any meaningful inquiry into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and at every public opportunity, has railed against those who are demanding such an investigation. He even went after his GOP counterpart in the Senate, John Warner (Va.), for holding three hearings in two weeks on the scandal, practically accusing Warner of treason.
Under great public pressure, Hunter has since held one hearing, for part of one day, and has no intention of having any more. During debate on the Fiscal Year 2005 Defense Authorization bill, on May 19, Hunter declared, "We have had enormous publicity the last number of days about the mess at Abu Ghraib. I estimated we have probably devoted as much media attention to that mess involving now, as identified, some seven personnel, as we did to the Normandy invasion. And that is an imbalance. It is time to refocus." What did he want to refocus on? "The 135,000 great personnel doing their job in Iraq."
On June 14, when the committee took up a resolution of inquiry sponsored by some 40 Democrats, demanding the Pentagon be more forthcoming with documents relating to the prison scandal, Hunter placed the 6,000 pages of the report on the abuse and torture of prisoners filed by U.S. Army General Anthony Taguba (the Taguba Report) on a table at the head of the hearing room and railed at the Democrats, "Isn't that enough for you?"

California Republican Duncan Hunter held a press conference to discuss the treatment of detainees at the island jail, and spent his opening statement going over a daily menu for prisoners that included oven-fried chicken and fresh fruit.
"This is what Osama bin Laden's bodyguards will eat several times a week. Lemon chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, bread and two types of fruit," Hunter said, inviting a reporter to come eat with him.
Hunter was digging himself out of small hole he got into over the weekend when he said on a news program that the White House is divided over whether to close the jail.
"I think they've come to the conclusion, some members of the White House have come to the conclusion that the legend now, that the legend is different than the fact, and when that's the case you go with the legend that somehow Guantanamo has been a place of abuse and you close it down and you shorten the stories, you shorten the heated debate and you get it off the table and you move on," he said.
