Duncan Hunter on CNN(transcript

CNN ^ | June 17, 2007

[rob21]

Duncan did awesome as usual, even with that Blitzer idiot interrupting him. There's A LOT more at the link.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I would like to see a debate between Thompson and Hunter. Not that I want them to be enemies (I am hoping they are on the same side), but I would like to examine the differences between them.

[cripplecreek]

Hunter is a man who says what he really believes. The rest of the top tier say what they think we want to hear.

[JoanneSD]

Mr. Hunter needs to call a press conference every chance he can, and get his opposition to this illegal forgiveness bill, and point out where Jorge is wrong.. every chance he can get, We need Duncan for President...

[Old_Mil]

Just read the transcript of the interview...Hunter did spectacularly well, even in the face of a hostile interviewer on a hostile TV network.

Wolf, that's nothing. And Mr. Chertoff needs to answer a question. He was given a law on October 26 of last year, seven months ago, a mandate by the president of the United States and the U.S. Congress, both houses voting in overwhelming fashion, to build 854 miles of border fence.

And if you ask him today how much he's built, he's built precisely 13 miles of one layer of a double fence, meaning it's going to take him 40 years, at that rate, to build the border face.

Mr. Chertoff is charged with securing the border. And the one thing he's not doing -- he's appearing on lots of talk shows. He is not securing the border.

We need to secure that border. And let me tell you, Wolf. There's no reason not to do it. You just did a major special on the terrorist acts that are taking place around the world. We've got a 2,000-mile open border. And for some reason, this administration does not want to secure that border in a very simple way.

Got video?

[ClearCase_guy]

Blitzer is a piece of work.

The president says this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Well, Sen. Cornyn says this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Well 63% of the people we polled think this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Say, how about we talk about the war ...

[johnny7]

BLITZER: What do you do with 12 million people? Can you deport them?

Geez' Wolfie... you sound stymied. Do you talk at all with Dobbs?

[pissant]

Hunter smacked all the questions out of the ballpark. Again.

"And if you ask him today how much he's built, he's built precisely 13 miles of one layer of a double fence, meaning it's going to take him 40 years, at that rate, to build the border face.

"Mr. Chertoff is charged with securing the border. And the one thing he's not doing -- he's appearing on lots of talk shows. He is not securing the border."

Great DH interview PING

BTT!!

“”Mr. Chertoff is charged with securing the border. And the one thing he’s not doing — he’s appearing on lots of talk shows. He is not securing the border.” “

“You’re going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”. Fred Thompson, 2006

I can’t see Duncan Hunter making that statement.

The difference is, Thompson sounds just like Bush.

[pissant]

You nailed it. Unfortunately for Wolfie, his game of gotchya crumbles when Hunter answers in no uncertain terms.

[pissant]

The differences are stark, but not as stark as between Hunter and the other “big three”

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The difference is, Thompson sounds just like Bush.

I'm not willing to go that far. I think one big difference between Thompson and Bush is that Thompson thinks in terms of premises and structure, which leaves good outcomes well rooted. Bush thinks in terms of outcome only, so he loses (gives away) a lot of important ground without even knowing he did it. If it works today then he is for it.

Still, Hunter is very very interesting to me and if Thompson (or Hunter for that matter) is weak somewhere, we need to know it before election day.

“You’re going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”. Fred Thompson, 2006

Yeah, it's called, "return to your country of origin and get at the end of the line."

[RasterMaster]

“You’re going to have to [give illegals] aspirations of citizenship” F. Thompson, 2006

[cripplecreek]

I don’t think Hunter would vote to OK allowing American firms to fire American employees to replace them with foreign workers.

[Calpernia]

[rob21]

It’s amazing how so many of the fredbots are willing to overlook his positions on illegal alien amnesty. There are only 2 candidates who are serious about securing the border, and only one of them has gotten any results. That man is Duncan Hunter.
