Why Duncan Hunter needs to be our Next President

I am publicly stating who I support for the 2008 Republican nominee for President, California Representative, Duncan Hunter. Why? The reasons are many but the primary underlying reason is, he better than any other candidate, be they Republican or Democrat, at understand the world landscape both economically and politically. His over all goal is a stronger more protected America.

Hunter, more than any other name on the ballot, is a student of history, not just recent history, he, as they say, sees the big picture. Unlike politicians of the past who have given away the American Dream as a good faith gesture to the world, Hunter wants to protect what is ours. On a regular basis, we always seems to be the ones extending the olive branch to the world only to have it stepped on.

In recent weeks he has spoken out harshly about the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) as it gives US sovereignty of the sea to (gulp) the UN. Hunter stated that:

“It is imperative that our nation does not surrender decision making power for military navigation or resource extraction, especially in this age of terrorism with technology and weapons proliferation. And adding a new set of UN bureaucrats with license to tax and adjudicate disputes is the last thing this country needs.” … ”Rest assured no treaty that infringes on the sovereignty of the United States, or further empowers the United Nations, will get anything but a trip to the waste basket in a Hunter Administration.”

See what I mean? This guy “gets it”!

He is the only candidate who consistently sees China as someone we should be cautious of, while everyone else sees China as a former Communist nation on the brink of democracy. Other see their exploding market as a potential for American big business to blossom, while Hunter sees the same thing, he is thinking of America first, the business executives second.

Just today he released a press release in which he publicly calls on Mitt Romney, founder of Bain Capital and Republican presidential candidate, to put an end to a business deal with a Chinese company who is negociating for the acquisition of US defense conractor 3COM. The kicker here is that the founder of this company is an officer of the Peoples Liberation Army of Communist China and is being accused of providing Saddam Hussein with the technology to target US aircraft and helping the Taliban develop surveillance equipment.

Hunter said to Romney in writing;

“I am extremely concerned that Governor Romney’s company would tout a highly suspect Chinese corporation as a strategic partner,” stated Hunter. “Forming a business partnership with a corporation known to have direct ties with terrorists and dictators while, at the same time, openly seeking to acquire a major U.S. corporation that performs vital cyber security work for the Department of Defense, can only be characterized as irresponsible.”

What other candidate would step out and do the right thing like this? Duncan Hunter does his homework, that is what will make him a very effective POTUS. This wasn’t a political ploy, this was Hunter looking out for America, for you and me.

The more you read about him, the more, I am sure, you will realize that he sees things the way most Amiercans do.

As do I.

I wish he got more attention. He is the RR in the group. The only one who still thinks there is a Evil Empire(China).

[EveningStar]

Hunter is a second tier candidate. He has no chance of winning. Ditto Huckabee, Tancredo, and Paul.

The title is garbage. I think the author means something else:

Why We Need Hunter to Be Our Next President

Not many people would (or should) care why “Hunter needs to be our next president.”

HUNTER CALLS ON ROMNEY TO OPPOSE BAIN PARTNERSHIP WITH CHINESE COMPANY

You and the media would just love it to stay that way too, so you can get your favorite RINO elected. It ain't over yet....

[blackie]

Duncan Hunter is the man!

[nmh]

For me it’s between Fred or Mike.

Hunter and the others are not a consideration.

I’ve already ruled them out after considering them.

[upsdriver]

“Hunter is a second tier candidate. He has no chance of winning. Ditto Huckabee, Tancredo, and Paul.”

So says the MSM and a dutifully compliant wing of the Republican party.

B4DH!!

Get him to rev up his campaign.

Screw the media. They're for the Democrats. I just want someone who can keep the Ass Party out of the White House.

“I wish he got more attention.”

Please write a letter to the editor to get his name out.

[EveningStar]

I don’t care what the media says. They don’t pick my candidate. I’ll vote for whoever I wish.

Well, well! Look who’s here!

More properly stated: Why America needs Duncan Hunter as her next President.

It isn't over 'till the fat lady sings.

[lilylangtree]

Some days ago circulating on FR there was an article about Patty “Moron” Murray supporting the Navy building a boat that the Navy didn’t want (I posted it). In the several postings were some references to Duncan Hunter supporting a $63 million plane that doesn’t fly. Now, I like Duncan Hunter but these references concern me especially when I’m telling others to take a look at him since he’s a viable candidate. Do you know of anyone that explain this? See below for the references posted about the airplane:

It’s clear to me that free-thinking, rational, honest conservatives will side with Hunter. Everyone else is either compromising their principles based on the false premise that only a liberal Republican can win, giving their support based on fear, or are simply liberals pretending to be conservatives.

*rolls eyes* There’s always one who likes to throw a dead skunk in a room filled with people.

[pissant]

Yes, that has been discussed ad naseum in a couple of older threads. I’ll try to find the links for you when I get time. It’s nonsensical.

[Antoninus]

Screw the media. They're for the Democrats. I just want someone who can keep the Ass Party out of the White House.

Trouble is, if you elect Rudy McRomney, you're getting the "Ass Party" by default. All three of those guys would be more than happy to work with Ted Kennedy...

[Fred]

Here is a good reason

Loyal to Kerik, Giuliani Missed Warning Signs

Just say NO to the SOPRANOS bid for the Whitehouse... Clinton, Rudy , take your pick...

[sneakers]

"I don’t care what the media says. They don’t pick my candidate. I’ll vote for whoever I wish."

Exactly. The media has already decided who the Republican front-runners are. I'm voting for whomever best represents what I believe in, and who I believe is the best man for the job. That man is Duncan Hunter. The other Republicans do not impress me. If the media would stop shoving them down our throats and give fair airtime to Hunter, he could beat the pants off of the 'rats.

[upsdriver]

“I’ll vote for whoever I wish.”

Yes, you should. But you used the media created spin of “second tier” in describing Duncan Hunter. No longer will I accept that characterization of Hunter. Not as long as the “first tier” can’t even move beyond the twentysome percentile in polling.

[Clara Lou]

Everyone else is either compromising their principles based ...
Ah, it must be incredibly satisfying believing so much in your own moral superiority. And in doing so, you put yourself in quite a select group, what with Hunter's poll standing.

I have no objection to Mr. Hunter (other than his poor campaign management). Some of his supporters, though, are laughable.

Well said.

[WildcatClan]

Thanks for dropping by and letting us know.

[nmh]

No problem.

You’re not going to harass people into voting for someone that they’ve already researched and aren’t go to vote for.

[Paperdoll]

>Can you explain this?<

Sure! Anyone who is about to break into high gear in this presidential race is fair game as far as our moderate or worse (RINO) FR members are concerned.

Conservatives offer absolutely no argument that Duncan Hunter is the Statesman they want to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[Logical me]

Totally agree. Hunter must win the primary.

[Paperdoll]

>I just want someone who can keep the Ass Party out of the White House.<

You obviously either have little regard for the intelligence of the American people, or you harbor nefarious intentions of keeping a good man down.

[GOPBlonde]

I admire your passion. If I could wave a magic wand, Duncan Hunter would be our next president. But I'm a pragmatist. The bottom line is that Hunter is a second tier candidate. I will vote for the GOP nominee.

You would be foolish to throw your vote away once the Republican candidate is selected. Otherwise, you'll be helping the Dems gain control of the oval office. Any of the first tier candidates would be preferable to a Dem.

.....for your own purposes.

[Antoninus]

Ah, it must be incredibly satisfying believing so much in your own moral superiority. And in doing so, you put yourself in quite a select group, what with Hunter's poll standing.

Poll standing is a media-manipulated perceived reality that I reject.

As for my "moral superiority"--if you don't think you're right about something, what's the point of offering your opinion in the first place. On those issues I'm unsure of, I keep quiet.

I'm sure that Duncan Hunter would make the best president of any of the candidates running, poll standing be d@mned.

[WildcatClan]

That 63 million was spread over quite a few years so in the world of Military R&D it’s a mere pittance. That’s the world of R&D, sometimes it doesn’t work. What the Navy does and doesn’t want is not always what is best. The brass at the pentagon say a lot of things. I take it all on a case by case basis.

[Paperdoll]

>The bottom line is that Hunter is a second tier candidate. I will vote for the GOP nominee.<

Typical Blonde! In order that he IS the nominee, you vote for him IN the primaries. Then he WILL BE the nominee, and you can VOTE for him in the general. Now do you get it? :)

Or do you intend to vote for whomever the Establishment shoves down your throat?

[no-to-illegals]

Thank you for this post!

I, as all Americans should be, concerned about the future for our children and grandchildren. The problems will not be easily solved. I have surveyed the field and recognize and realize that Mr. Duncan Hunter is the only person I can support in this race for President.

I crossed McCain off my list a long time ago.
Rudy is not a Conservative. Crossed off Rudy.
Mitt thinks America should emulate Hamas. Mitt is a liberal. Cross off Mitt.

Then there is Fred. I like Fred, I am listening to Fred, but Fred is a Johnny come Lately. When Fred could have taken out the Clintons on Chinagate, Fred didn't. When Fred could have done something to truly help this nation, while he was in the Senate on illegal immigration, he didn't. What more can I say about Fred....He didn't live up to expectations. America cannot afford people, in federal office, especially the Presidency to no longer live up to expectations.

Mr. Duncan Hunter has been a fighter and warrior, in every sense of the words, during his tenure in the House. His past reflects what Mr. Hunter will do FOR America in the future. The Past is always a reflection of what the future holds, and what a given individual will do. For this reason alone, Mr. Hunter's past efforts for America compel me to support the Man.

Join us....Join a Man.....Join the Hunter's Rangers....I can honestly say, There will be no surprises from this Man! Mr. Hunter will be another President in the image of Former President Ronald Reagan. Another Man (Mr. Hunter), Americans are proud of.

[WildcatClan]

I don’t recall ever having harassed you? The article wasn’t “harassing” as far as I can tell? The obvious question here is, “what are you talking about?”. Either I have missed something here, or you have blown a headpipe somewhere along the way.

[Clara Lou]

if you don't think you're right about something, what's the point of offering your opinion in the first place
There's no basis for your statement that others are compromising their principles because they don't support Hunter. That's an arrogant remark. Arrogance is not your friend, and lends you no credibility.

[Antoninus]

I admire your passion. If I could wave a magic wand, Duncan Hunter would be our next president. But I'm a pragmatist.

"Pragmatist" is another way of saying, "I'm willing to sell-out my principles to help someone who doesn't share my principles to win." Personally, I don't see how that's pragmatic at all. It strikes me as frighteningly stupid--the words of someone who's holding the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.

You would be foolish to throw your vote away once the Republican candidate is selected. Otherwise, you'll be helping the Dems gain control of the oval office. Any of the first tier candidates would be preferable to a Dem.

Really? So it would be better to elect a Republican who's going to act like a Democrat than the genuine article? LOL. After 8 years of Christie Whitman in NJ, I know what happens when conservatives help a liberal Republican get elected. They effectively hand their party over to liberals and put themselves on the political sidelines FOREVER.

No thanks. I don't vote for liberals, regardless of what party they're running for. If you're willing to vote for a liberal Republican out of fear of getting something "worse" in the Democrat, you are contributing to the New Jersification of the national GOP.

Enjoy the results.

[CindyDawg]

IMO it is foolish to throw away a primary vote on a person that conservatives can not support. Most just aren’t going to vote for a liberal, even if an R is tattooed all over his body.

[Antoninus]

There's no basis for your statement that others are compromising their principles because they don't support Hunter. That's an arrogant remark. Arrogance is not your friend, and lends you no credibility.

I gave three choices why people might not want to vote for Hunter. That was only one of them. If that particular one stuck in your craw, maybe you ought to look in the mirror before casting stones at me.

[Clara Lou]

LOL! You’re arrogant, and your solution is that I need to look in the mirror! Clown!
