Tell that to Duncan Hunter, who if you recall got applause from NALEO (the National Association of Latino Elected Officials) when he spoke of his ideas concerning border security and stopping illegal immigration. He got applause.
Duncan Hunter, who went to the Katrina HOPE Summit and told the people of New Orleans that more government entitlements were not the answer, but less government, and more individual responsibility. He got booed.
If he gets booed or applauded, at least we know that Hunter won’t be pandering.
I don’t think Hunter or Paul will have a single pandering word to say.
Good place to bump the thread for Duncan Hunter. He is definitely not a panderer.
Not only did Rep. Duncan Hunter receive applause for the NALEO, he received A STANDING OVATION! :)
Rep. Duncan Hunter can be counted on to stand solid on the policies he has always offered. He is a man who says what he means and does what he says. A promise from Rep. Hunter is a done deal. He will be everybody’s president.

Good post, Ultra Sonic 007.
Duncan Hunter is tough enough to tell the New Orleans folks that they need to take personal responsibility at this point in time, but yet was kind enough to roll up his sleeves and go to New Orleans and help them out when the Katrina natural disaster first happened.
And here’s the story of when Duncan Hunter was the ONLY Republican presidential candidate with the courage to show up at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials convention.
“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.”
btw, I read on the group’s website back then that this group supported the amnesty bill, which shows just how remarkable Duncan Hunter’s courage is.
