“I love it. Just like at NALEO, Hunter carries his message to potentially hostile arenas...and doesn’t flinch. I LOVE it!”
I’ll never forget THIS:
“The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials invited all Republican presidential hopefuls to its annual convention at Disney World in Buena Vista, Fla.
Only one showed up — Rep. Duncan Hunter, of California.
A grateful audience gave Hunter a standing ovation Friday and some convention goers posed for snapshots with the congressman after his question and answer session.
Standing at the lone candidate podium which was decorated in red, white and blue, Hunter was asked about his plan to fix the nation’s immigration system.
“We need to build the fence and build it quickly,” he said.
An 854-foot fence would help national security, stop crime along the border, and protect the United States from terrorists, he said.
After the forum, he told reporters the fence would also keep people from dying in the desert of heat exhaustion.
“If 200 kids a year were dying in a canal the first thing you would do is fence it,” he said.
On Saturday, seven Democratic presidential candidates were slated to attend a forum at the NALEO conference, including Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Barack Obama of Illinois, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Joseph Biden of Delaware, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.”
I’m a cynic. I don’t get all twitterpated by politicians. They pull their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us (well, maybe except Larry Craig! LOL).
I’ve honestly tried to find enough reasons to kick Hunter to the curb. But he just seems to get better and better.
I haven’t read the entire thread, but don’t I remember him being one of the first down there (NOLA) and he actually helped?
