..yes, and I am starting to get a little ticked off at the FDT people who say we have to stand aside...
Amen.
If I hear Rooty or Mitt are the "only candidate who can beat Hellary" one more time.....
I’ll take the FENCE BUILDER over LAW & ORDER guy ANY DAY!
“If people don’t vote for him in the primaries, he won’t be the nominee.”
Yep, a lot less people vote in the primaries, as compared to the general election, so your vote has POWER! :)
Hunter would reassemble the Reagan coalition and trounce whatever dem patsie they put up.
As Rush would say, "Conservatism wins EVERY time it is tried!"
From my Duncan Hunter e-mail:
June 5, 2007
Rep. Duncan Hunter will participate in the Union Leader New Hampshire Debate.
Debate airs 7PM to 9 PM EST. Wolf Blitzer will moderate. Sponsored by CNN, WMUR
and Union Leader. The debate will take place at Anselem College in Manchester, NH.
Questioners are John DiStaso and WMUR Political Director Scott Spradling.
This is what most of our southern border looks like: there is no government-built fence at all. There is often just whatever is left over from some forgotten cattle fence, built privately to keep U.S. cattle from wandering freely into Mexico. For hundreds of miles there is not even a broken cattle fence, there is nothing at all.
For comparison, below the broken cattle fence photo is a sample of an inexpensive but highly effective double border fence system, with a plowed strip to reveal footprints. This type of system is very cheap and can be built with great speed.
Here is what some of San Diego County has: a wall made of rusty Viet Nam-era runway mats. The corrugations are even horizontal, (to make climbing easier?)
Here is what the border looks like where the runway mat wall exists. Mexico begins on the other side of the ineffective rusty wall, which actually helps the smugglers, by hiding their movements until the occasional USBP vehicle has driven out of sight.
This is how "the game" is played. Smugglers hide on the other side of the wall with their dope and/or their illegals, out of sight of the USBP. They wait for the highly visible white BP vehicle to drive over the distant hills. Lookouts with cell phones and walkie-talkies report on the current locations of the BP units. They know with certainty that "the coast is clear" for an hour or two, and the smugglers and illegals hop the fence and run into the scrub only 50 yards away. From there, they are out of sight, and they walk 1-2 miles to holding houses. Then they wait for nightfall, and are picked up and driven in vans to LA or San Diego.
Next, we see the Duncan Hunter 15' fence, which is already being built along a few "showplace" miles of San Diego, mainly near the ports of entry, where panderng politicians can conveniently show it off to gullible reporters. As you can see, the rusty runway wall is seen at the left side, Mexico begins on the other side. In areas with the 15 foot fence, dope smugglers and illegals will have to cross the open sand ("the government road" as it is called) before starting to try to get over the 15 foot fence.
This new fence is extremely tough, and resists cutting. Attacking the fence would have to be done right out in the open, in full view of cameras. This type of fence, on the U.S. side of the government road, will give the USBP a barrier to patrol, instead of forcing them to chase illegals around 100,000 square miles of wide-open frontier land, which is a fool's errand. Everywhere this modern multiple fence system has been built, crossings by illegals drop to almost nil.
This ain't rocket science, folks. We're not talking about something like the Hoover Dam project, (which we managed to build 70 years ago). The world's last superpower, which put a man on the moon 35 years ago, can build a couple thousand miles of simple and effective fencing.
This is how it's being built in San Diego county, along the last 14 miles out to the ocean. The total cost of the entire fence from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific would be about 5 billion dollars, or what we spend medicating, hospitalizing, educating, and incarcerating illegal aliens just about every month. In other words, the fence would pay for itself immediately.
Or, we can continue our current policy.
Hunter has been on top of this issue and is providing more than lip service, unlike most of the nominees.
And all for the fact he is an actor and they think that is going to go over well with the public! I just don’t like the dismissive lines about Hunter and you are basically fighting a stigma they are putting in trying to dismiss Hunter’s chance is that he isn’t known and, therefore, ‘can’t win’ which is a bunch of BS not based on how great the candidate is able to campaign and debate and sell themselves. I find it ironic that they don’t really have much to say against Hunter except he ‘can’t win’. I just am not willing to support Thompson and find it appalling these people who so quickly condemned McCain in 2000 for CFR are now so high on Thompson who was his strongest supporter and Thompson does not have much of a record as being a leader in the Senate and effective against Demonrat politics. I will not trust Thompson’s judgment with a Demonrat Congress as well.
Hunter also understands the China threat, China building up their military and China’s cheating on trade. The poisoned food from China was because of their cheating; they wanted to make it look like there was more protein in the food.
I just got this from Hunter’s automatic e-mail, and anyone who has not yet signed up might want to do so (includes China):

I recently read that the only conservative running is Duncan Hunter, which I already knew; that Duncan Hunter will have to find a way around the media and the establishment if he is going to have a chance in this election. When Ronald Reagan ran, conservative voters turned out in droves. Conservative Reagan won the R. primary in 1980, and the general in a landslide. I hope that Rep. Hunter continues with his no nonsense approach to the problems we face in the country, so that caring voters will see that he is the man to lead us now.

Don’t forget to sign Hunter’s petition!
As Duncan Hunter would say, “Let’s build that fence”.
