Duncan Hunter Endorses Mike Huckabee
National Review Online ^ | 1-23-08 | Byron York

Posted on 01/23/2008 12:29:02 PM PST by TitansAFC

This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:

"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base."

"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.

Maybe Hunter picked Huckabee because Hunter feels Huckabee is the strongest pro-lifer.

Also, this might give you another clue as to why:

Here’s something from Romney’s website:

“It is my hope that the Supreme Court will reaffirm the individual right to keep and bear arms as enshrined in the Bill of Rights and protect law abiding gun owners everywhere. To further guard this fundamental liberty, as President, I will take care to appoint judges who will not legislate from the bench but will instead strictly interpret the Constitution.”

Nice to see he’s pandering a bit over my concerns as well as other ones. Maybe he’ll even do as he says....

I would have preferred he had not supported any of candidates that are still standing.

HA HA HA HA HA!

Where’s pissant and his righteous indignation now? Where’s pissant and his fierce lectures on how we were all traitors for not backing Hunter?

“I think I just lost all respect for Mr. Hunter.”

Better than picking pro-abortion, sanctuary city Giuliani, or McCain, who voted for the International Criminal Court, and is WEAK on the life issue, and then there’s McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, etc.

I don't think this is the thread to get into your points.

Suffice to say that I feel American troops will have to be in Iraq for the next 50 years or more. Just like we're still in Germany and Korea.

Here's what Republican consultant Brett Doster said:

“With Thompson out of the race and with [former Arkansas Gov. Mike] Huckabee focused on other Southern states, Romney is being viewed as the only viable conservative in a three-way race between Romney, McCain and [former New York Mayor Rudy] Giuliani,” said Brett Doster, who ran President Bush’s reelection in the state in 2004. He added that Giuliani and McCain are likely to split the moderate vote in the Republican-only primary.

“Why he endorsed the one candidate who is most likely to lose and can’t really do any favors. I am not sure if I agree with Rep. Hunters endorsement but it was clearly based on principle and not on politics.

Good point.

I agree, we must win back the Senate. That doesn’t change the fact that if a Rat becomes President you won’t ever even have a chance at a conservative or even moderate nomination. Hillary or B. Hussein Obama will certainly nominate uber liberals that will destroy what is left of our Constitution. That risk is present with the current crop of Republican candidates as well, but less so.

We have to play the odds as dealt to us. Do you want to fold or take a hit? There is far too much at stake. We must face the prospect of pulling the lever for an undesirable Republican simply for a chance, just a chance, that we will get serviceable nominees.

This entire election cycle has been unbelievable and disgusting. I can’t believe the choices we are forced to make.

“we need to move away from the Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party”
Duncan Hunter June 5,2007

This was my tagline for several months... Now Mr. Hunter has gone and endorsed a candidate from the Kennedy wing!

I’m convinced that McCain is the absolute worst man in the field. And in this field, that’s quite an accomplishment.
