Interview with Presidential Candidate: Congressman Duncan Hunter
Family Security Matters ^ | 7/17/07 | Tom McLaughlin

Posted on 07/29/2007 1:40:37 PM PDT by captjanaway

Telephone interview recorded on Friday, July 13, 2007 at 2:30 pm EST by Tom McLaughlin for Family Security Matters.

Hello. This is Duncan Hunter.

Thank you for calling, Congressmen. I’ll be recording this conversation. Is that all right with you?

It is.

Okay. Let’s get started. I have twelve basic questions for all the presidential candidates, but I have one especially for you given your background. You served your country as a soldier in Vietnam. You must be having some thoughts about what happened in 1975 when the Democrats were in the majority in the United States Congress, and what is being threatened today for Iraq now that Democrats have taken control of Congress again.

Somehow it didn’t sound as if the questioner had his heart in his work. But Duncan Hunter provided him with solid answers.

Hunter is clear on all the issues.The rinos in charge do not want anything to do with him.True conservatives need to get behind Hunter and send some money to the campaign.

Certainly. Last question: How would you handle efforts as president to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine?

Well, I think the attempt to muzzle talk radio under the so-called Fairness Doctrine is a reflection of the fact that liberals don’t like that most Americans are conservative. Talk radio is generally conservative because it reflects the views of the American people. The idea that you have to inject liberal views on talk radio [broadcast] to a community that is not liberal is, I think, an invalid concept. I think we’re going to have to protect the free speech of talk radio from the objects of its criticism, and that is - liberal politicians.



Talk show hosts, take note! you won't hear any other presidential candidates coming out, and saying it like it is! When it comes to the "Bill of Rights" Duncan Hunter appears to be the only one who gets it.


Read the article for his take on the 2nd amendment, then consider Romney's phoney hunting comment,or Rudy's flip flop performance.

Duncan Hunter - Airborne Ranger and his son is currently in Afghanistan, after two tours in Iraq, You won't see him wobbling on the 3rd! Could go on, but you all check it out! This is the only conservative republican of the bunch. We need this man for president!

True conservatives will respond! Please write your most generous check to: Hunter for President 08, and send to:

Also, with your check, ask for bumper stickers, too.

Thank you. He’s on Fox News in just a minute! God bless!

ABC is going to have a Republican presidential debate, I think next Sunday, and are asking for questions to ask the candidates.

Great interview. The guy knows what he is talking about, no matter what the question. No hesitations, pauses, or uh uh uh’s, like most of the candidates. Smart man, with integrity, the right frame of mind and views, AND very articulate!

Something for Rudy to think about:
HUNTER: I’m also a big hunter but I think hunting is not the reason you’ve got a right to keep and bear arms.

Hunting is not the reason? More personal security.

HUNTER: Personal security and the security of our community and our country.

Um-hmm.

HUNTER: You know, especially when we’ve been invaded recently with the attack on 9-11, if there had been a ground attack that had accompanied the aerial attack in a city like New York where all the good people had been disarmed, it would have been devastating.
