I am pleased that Duncan Hunter has a conservative voting record. However, it takes no special skill to vote 100% conservative. Were my Aunt Myrtle were a Congresswoman, she could do it too. Duncan Hunter managed to become Chairman of Armed Services, which is to his credit. However, we now know that an ignoramus made it to Intelligence Committee Chairman for the Democrats, and doubtless neither are all GOP Committee Chairmen latter day Daniel Websters.

If Rep. Hunter is qualified to be President, he needs prove that he is capable, intelligent and qualified. One such qualification is his legal training. There we have a problem. He bio claims he attended the obscure and undistinguished Western State University College of Law, but the California State Bar states Hunter graduated from the equally obscure and undistinguished Thomas Jefferson School of Law. So there are two problems, (1) Hunters' bio has a discrepancy and (2) his law school is an inconsistent choice for someone with ambition and intelligence sufficient to eventually become President.

Hillary Yale Law Clinton and her MSM minions will make sure everyone knows about Hunter's dubious legal education, and it will become fodder for the obligatory Dem stupid charge, which Hunter will only be able to shake if he is obviously brilliant on T.V. and in debates.

"his law school is an inconsistent choice for someone with ambition and intelligence sufficient to eventually become President."

The average voter couldn't care less about what law school he went to, only snobbish elites would care and only those elites who won't admit to themselves that our "prestige" schools are considerably less than institutions with rigorous academic standards. Kerry almost won and his academic record was pitiful. Does anyone remember, or care what schools Ronald Reagan went to? John Kennedy? No.
This is a typical argument put up by those who think the public is looking for someone to "rule" them. They're not.
They're looking for someone who is honest and who believes that the politicians work for the people, not the other way around.
I don't believe Hunter will have any problem with his academic background.

Thanks for this. Better this information comes out now. That said, I think this criticism is weak and those who attempt to tar Hunter with it will appear to be elitist snobs by the general public.
