Good for the 1st and 2nd tier candidates to not participate in these special interest group pander fests.
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.
