To members of Free Republic and friends, I would like to introduce a candidate for President of the United States and the current congressman from the 52nd district of California, Duncan Hunter!! To Americans who value the patriotism and missions of our Armed Forces, to those who want to put fear into the hearts of our adversaries from Beijing to Tehran, to those who value the rule of law when it comes to illegal immigration, to those who realize that the unborn deserve full legal protection beginning at conception, to those who believe Peace through Strength is far more than a motto, to those who do not like giving communist China unfettered access to our markets while they cheat at every turn, to those who want to halt and reverse losses of US sovereignty to global entities, and to those who want the GOP to return to Reaganism, Mr. Hunter is the Best choice.
Congressman Hunter currently is the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee, after spending the previous 4 years as its chair. He is an original co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill and he is the author of the Secure Borders bill, signed by President Bush in 2006, which mandates 800+ miles of double fence across the smuggling corridors of the SW. He also is the man who has led the fight against NAFTA’s Mexican truckers having free reign on our roads, has forced congressional oversight of the executive branch’s ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership’ with Canada and Mexico, and was instrumental in saving our military intelligence officers from having to jump through bureaucratic hoops unrelated to combat.
A Vietnam combat Veteran himself, he currently has a son in the Marine Corps, Capt. Duncan Duane Hunter who is busy hunting jihadis in Afghanistan after two tours in Iraq. Congressman Hunter has been the anti-dote to the liberals in Congress doing their damndest to cut and run from the battlefield. Mr. Hunter knows that this war is our generation’s calling, and “the only way we can leave is to WIN”.
Below are 15 questions we compiled last month on Free Republic, which we sent to Congressman Hunter a few weeks ago. They are followed by his answers. This is the springboard we will use to kick off Mr. Hunter’s live “virtual press conference” on FR today.
Please stop by and say hello and you may post additional questions. HOWEVER, Please realize that time limitations will prevent him from answering all the questions you may have. Though he may get time later to forward answers to many left unaddressed during this session.
Please drop Jim Robinson a note of thanks as well. For not only hosting this event, but for having the best conservative website in the country!
Also, no disruptors allowed. Your posts will be removed.
The following is our Kickoff Q&A session:
Welcome to our home, Congressman. Thank you for visiting and giving an ear/eye to concerns of the people that Mr. Robinson has brought together. (Thanks, too, PA - I hate typing your screen name!)
Don’t get lost in the volume of posts, in here. Some days, it’s hard to get any work done. However, you’ll find the pulse of the conservative Republicans on this site.
Just let us know if you need any advice!
Again, thanks for your time and to all three of you, thank you for standing for the right.
“I’ll tell you why. Start a thread about TR and I will shoot your boat full of holes. This in not the purpose of this thread.”
I agree. Duncan Hunter is the only presidential candidate who visited us, and ESPECIALLY this live thread should not be hijacked.
Peace.
I’m not adverse to defending TR, just not here.
Oh I understand that historical context perhaps better than you realize. But instead of attacking the root causes of the trusts, particularly corporate exploitation of a deliberate loophole in the Fourteenth Amendment via Southern Pacific v. Santa Clara County (which you can read about here), TR was adding layers of Federal control instead of removing them. Effectively, what he SAID he was trying to do was break up the trusts. What he accomplished was to help cement their standing.
When government socializes control, whether by direct or regulatory means, that control accrues to the politically dominant. TR may not have understood that, but it is what he accomplished.
I have been contributing to many campaigns for many years, and NEVER have I received OR expected a reply for it. Perhaps you have no idea how time consuming and expensive it is to wage a campaign or you wouldn’t either.
If you want bumper stickers or brochures, ask for them when you contribute the next time to: Hunter for President

Welcome to FreeRepublic!
And you can quit asking questions now. The time limit has expired. LOL
Dang,sorry I missed this thread.
Great job, Pissant and welcome President Hunter!
My question is: Will Pissant make your short list for VP?
Thank you Mr. Hunter and everyone!
Although I missed it yesterday.
Is so wonderful to be able to read the great questions and answers.
I can’t wait to see Mr. Hunter speak tomorrow night.
He’ll be right down the street at our local Church and Republican polling place.
... I see people who receive Duncan Hunters email updates are also receiving a link to this thread. :^)
Thanks again Jim and pissant and everyone who contributes to make this site the greatest!
One more question -
Boxers or briefs?
You need to get on the list!
We missed you too. Good to see yer smiling face though. :o)
Alright! Tell him we are spreading his message far and wide!
LOL. My guess is that Hunter will not be doing an MTV appearance.
I am with you Mr. Hunter!!! I only wish I was a billionaire, I would have you as the front runner. I am disappointed more Americans don’t know who you are. Me and my family sure do!!! I will do everything I can as a pround Conservative Republican to get your name out there in my city of Las Vegas!!! You are the only TRUE conservative we have running for office who is concerned with getting our country back on track, and protecting the soverignty of this wonderful nation.
I would like to know what is your stand on the possibility of the NAU????? Thank you...and good luck!!
