“Conservative” Hunter does NOT walk the walk when it comes to fiscal issues; in fact, he is an irresponsible big-spender. Duncan Hunter did NOT support House conservatives when they recently attempted to eliminate these earmarks:

Look at how Hunter protected the personal pork of Pelossi, Murtha, and Rangel. Shameful.
Nobody ever has a response to that.
I have posted at least 25 times about Hunter missing nearly 30% of the current House votes, and I have never had a response to that either.
Move along people. Nothing to see here.
