I have one

What, if anything, would President Hunter do to eradicate unconstitutional Beuracracies (sp) in the Federal Government.

i.e. Dept of Education, FBI, ATF just to name a few.

I feel getting rid of these organizations can not only save alot of money, it also would put us back on a more Constitutional footing as to the original intent of the framers of our National Constituation.

Nothing in the Constitution gives the Feds Law enforcement power. That authority is reserved to the states and to the people. Same goes for the DOE.

That was a very clever post U.S.007.

Duncan Hunter Bump!

[Leatherneck_MT]

ugh, National Constitution, not constituation :(

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Thank you for this thread and Sam Hunter did well!

[Calpernia]

THAT would be nice. I think we (USA) are going to have our hands full though, staying out of the UN 2010 treaties. We have really fallen down a rabbit hole :(

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Well, ask Sam.

Sam, Leatherneck_MT has a question. What would President Hunter to do to dismantle unconstitutional bureaucracies in the Federal Government (the Department of Education, for example, or the FBI, and so on)? After all, nothing in the Constitution gave the Federal government law enforcement powers. Same for the Department of Education.

To be more specific, what does Duncan Hunter think of the 10th Amendment? What would he do to make it prominent in American politics again? I mean, how many elected politicians focus more on D.C. than their own constituents these days...you know?

Savage Nation ping!

I talk to a lot of seniors here locally about Duncan Hunter. Mostly they like what he has to say but they worry about their issues as well. Things like affordability of medicines are a concern.

[Leatherneck_MT]

lol thanks bud, he's going to have that question 3 times. I freepmailed it to him once I saw your link :P

Hope he doesn't ignore it thinking I'm spamming him.

I would like to suggest that Duncan Hunter go on Matt Drudge's radio show to talk about the China trade imbalance, and the China threat.

I think Matt Drudge would be a good ally, especially when it comes to China.

[pogo101]

bump for later

[Sun]

A $804.9 BILLION dollar U.S. trade deficit in one year!!

It boggles the mind.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Nope. No questions, just a BTTT!!!!!!!!

[TigersEye]

No questions. Just best wishes for his candidacy.

[b4its2late]

Thanks for the ping. Hunter has my vote, though I don't know how good a vote from a conservative in NY will be.... Hope he does well.

Your dad made a great comment about not needing 100 million dollars to make people believe he's a conservative. I'd suggest your rank and file types add "plus he only has one wife to support". Its a great quip thats sure to get a blurb in the MSM and at this point he needs to get his name out there more.

Many conservatives are desperate for someone to take on Rudy and McCain and we don't trust the newly converted Romney. Newt is smart but carries too much negative baggage. Tell your dad he has a big following at FR and we'd love for him to come here one day just to say Hi! It would really fire up the troops! BTW-Getting "RINO HUNTER" T-Shirts made for the college kids to wear at rallies would be AWESOME!!!!

Illegal immigration is a major issue for your father and one of the chief reasons I and many others here on FR support him. Immigration reform is coming down the pipe in this congress once again. If, God forbid, congress does something stupid on immigration (amnesty, guest workers, etc.) and President Bush signs it into law, how does that affect your father's candidacy?
