I wish he had answered the questions I sent him previously.

[mkjessup]

Well what questions were they? Let's hear them again ok?

[pissant]

Re-ask it.

Here is mine: What does Duncan Hunter recommend in dealing with Iran. Is he willing to use Military force to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons?

[airborne]

I'll go back and find them.

Here is mine: What does Duncan Hunter recommend in dealing with Iran. Is he willing to use Military force to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons?

Pissant my FRiend, I would never pretend to speak for Congressman Hunter, or for his son Sam, but my guess about how he might respond to a question like that (being an Army Ranger Veteran himself) is that he would never rule in, or rule out ANY option when dealing with Iran, including the use of military force. It is sometimes best not to telegraph our intentions, but to keep our enemies guessing as to how we're going to respond. Let them fear the worst, I say.

I think that based on my own knowledge of the Congressman's positions, that when the Iranians wake up on a very cold 20th of January 2009 to hear the words "I, Duncan Lee Hunter, do solemnly swear..." that they would know the kind of apprehension that their terrorist ancestors knew on the morning of January 20th, 1981. America under the leadership of President Hunter will live by the Reagan philosophy that in order to preserve the peace, one must be prepared for war, i.e. 'peace through strength'.

That is why Iran chose not to test President Reagan because they knew he was made of sterner stuff than his abysmal and impotent predecessor.

Just my .02 cents, I defer to Sam and his Dad for the 'official position'! ;)

[pissant]

I like it. I'm sure Hunter would too.

Cuba is drilling in the Gulf where we should be drilling.

ANWR is sitting there idle, while gas prices approach $3.00 a gallon.

Venezuela and Iran threaten us and we still buy their oil.

There hasn't been a new nuclear plant built in decades, and our oil refinery production is nearly maxed out.

What is your father's policies on all of these issues?

[airborne]

Would your father please stand up for the Boy Scouts of America?

Would a President Hunter reverse the trend towards tossing aside all of the great volunteer work the BSA has done and is doing across America?

[navyguy]

Where does Duncan stand on the Fair Tax? Or for that matter, tax reform in general?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I have been reading the FairTax book by Neal Boortz and Congressman Linder. I really like the ideas presented in the book (except, perhaps, for the prebate welfare system). Would your father sign such a bill into law if it is passed by Congress? Would he think that it violated the Constitutional rule of uniform taxation, since it uses a percentage of price, rather than pre-set flat amounts?

[mkjessup]

Those are good questions Airborne, and I'm sure you'll get answers, and more importantly - answers that you'll like.

Just a hunch on my part. ;)

[A1 Southern Man]

I like what Hunter stands for. I am hoping Fred Thompson gets in but Duncan Hunter is on my very short list. I kind of wish I could vote for both of them in Nov. '08. As long as there is no one named Rudy on the ticket.

[Carry_Okie]

Let me know when Mr. Hunter needs someone to teach him how to crush environmentalists in debate on environmental grounds alone, never mind the resource racketeering of their sponsors.

It isn't that hard to do.

"These are the people who tried to kill us. It includes the guy -- the 20th hijacker, that was Mr. Qahtani who was caught coming in -- who didn't make it to the planes that drove into New York. Here you have a guy who was on his way to kill 5,000 Americans, and we have people complaining because he had a dog bark at him in Guantanamo."
***I sure like that quote. Thanks for posting this thread.

What is the situation with the wall on our border?

It was signed into law,and signed by our President.

What has Duncan Hunter done to make sure this wall will be built?

[Ultra Sonic 007]
