When elected, if Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are still incarcerated, what would you do, if anything?

In my opinion, a politician must seize political opportunity in order to win...which might be more difficult than it sounds.

However, I can identify at least one political opportunity currently ripe for plucking: the news media isn’t asking Senator Hillary Clinton “the hard questions.”

Now, people may disagree with my examples below of hard questions, but the principle stands even if the true “hard questions” are different from the following examples.

If I was a political advisor for Mr. Hunter, I would suggest asking these questions that “the news media won’t ask” in order to shock the news establishment as well as become “newsworthy” on a regular basis...hitting her with a new “hard question” on a regular basis.

My own examples of what the news media won’t ask her:
1. Should U.S. or UN food aid be given to Zimbabwe
2. Should China and India keep their Kyoto emission compliance exemptions
3. Should Chinese firms be required to carry product liability insurance in the U.S.
4. Should the U.S. go to war over Kosovo (again)
5. Should the Senate filibuster SCOTUS nominees
6. Should Hollywood movies be taxed based upon the number of guns shown therein
7. Should new nuclear power plants be built in the U.S.
8. Should government always grow larger
9. Should a sales tax replace our income tax
10.Would you nominate a practicing Christian to the SCOTUS
11.Should Wall Street be bailed out by the Fed
12.Should all doctors be government employees
13.Should guns be banned
14.Should immigration and borders be open and unlimited
15.Should inner-city parents have school-choice vouchers for their children

Rather than base a Presidency on the satisfaction of interest groups, I will work to shape an America where our citizens are more independent of government the day I leave the White House than when I take office.

Thank you Congressman Hunter for your valuable time!

Would you ever consider decriminalizing marijuana or eliminating the “war on drugs” completely? Such a stance would be welcomed by many voters from both sides of the aisle.

Congressman Hunter, It is truly an honor to be on a forum with you especially here in the best truly conservative forum there is. It was a deep thrill of appreciation to many of us here when you showed the honor of standing up for Terri Schiavo during that debate.

I am doubly glad that we have in you a candidate anthentic in the mold of Ronald Reagan and a veteran of those days.

I have no question, only a deeply heartfelt request. Please win.

God bless you.

Ping to warriors on Terri's List and prolifers.

Mr. Hunter, you’ve got my vote first chance I get and have already recieved a campaign contribution. I’m praying for your success.

Can you say anything regarding the campaign and how you see a breakout happening for you? You don’t have debt but didn’t take the “shot” that some did by focusing on the Iowa straw poll.

Congressman,

Many of us in the PetroChem and refining engineering field have watched aghast as critical skills are shipped oversees. (Not to mention all the plans and details of refineries which are pretty much bombs the size of a small city.)

Therefore I applaud you when you recognize that some limits on trade are good and are a strategically important both to our security and economy.

Is it fair or accurate for detractors to call you a “protectionist” in general or an “isolationist”?

I hope to be in Pennsylvania within the next six weeks! I was last there speaking in support of the great Congressman Joe Pitts (Air Force Pilot, Conservative, Patriot).

Do you believe in creating term limits for all of Congress?

Supporter in WA State. Just going over the thread now to read your answers. One worrisome problem - wish ALL candidates had the same time to answer questions. I have never seen such a disgraceful manipulation of these so called “debates.” The left has made a sham of them.

I LOVE this. I hope that it helps to get him the attention that he deserves.

Coulter likes him, and so does George Will. That just about runs the gamut on the right.

Hunter ‘08

If my husband loved me, he’d win the lottery. Then I’d write a big, fat check to the Hunter campaign.
