Tribute video for Congressman Duncan Hunter, who ended his candidacy for president today.

A Quick Interview With The Duncan Hunter Campaign     Over the weekend, after this last debate in South Carolina I was running through the republican candidates in my head and it just occurred to me.  Where has Duncan Hunter been?  I’ve watched three debates, and he wasn’t in any of them. So I went to his campaign website and decided to find out.    I asked the campaign 5 questions.  Duncan Hunter’s campaign managers were terrific and very fast to respond.  Here’s our conversation: 1. What is the reason Duncan Hunter wasn't in the debate last night (1/10/2008) in South Carolina?  What has...

Why should Iowa have all the fun tonight--take that New Hampshire! Alexander J. Madison - December 31, 2007 Dear New Hampshire Republicans, Every presidential election season, your state, by virtue of its early primary vote, has the opportunity to help shape the election going forward. At times, you were the antidote to the Iowa Caucuses. In 1980, Iowa chose moderate GHW Bush, New Hampshire chose Ronald Reagan, giving the Gipper a much needed boost. For that, we are eternally grateful. In 1996, you bucked the polls and chose Pat Buchanan over the milquetoast Bob Dole. Though Buchanan had and has...

New FR poll indicates that support for Duncan Hunter of FR is fading away.. is it true or not? I have always said that the support of FR members is critical to a grassroots campaign... Over the past several weeks FReepers have been split on Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter.. it appears by the current poll that many of those FReepers that were leaning toward Duncan Hunter are drifting toward Fred Thompson... Is this an accurate assessment or are there still Duncan Hunter supporters on FR? TOWARD VICTORY !! http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=205

Will Congress Sell Out the American People at "U.S." multinational CEOs' Request? William R. Hawkins Tuesday, November 20, 2007 On November 14, the CEOs of 105 major transnational corporations sent a letter organized by the U.S.-China Business Council to the Democratic and Republican leaders of both houses of Congress. The letter argued against enacting any legislation “targeting the U.S.-China trading relationship.” These corporations are heavily involved financially in this ‘relationship,” helping China rise to become the next great rival to the United States. They provide Beijing with capital and technology, and place the orders that keep Chinese factories open while...

The author posits these as the necessary 6 conservative principles: A preference for limited government A desire to means-test or otherwise target government benefits A concern about the behavioral consequences of assistance. Conservatives believe that no-strings-attached assistance has often been a catastrophe -- creating even more dependency and a fertile ground for social problems A deference to mediating institutions. Everyone seems eager to harness family, church and other voluntary associations Respect for private choice, often in the form of markets. Humility bred from disappointing experiences -- and the likelihood of unintended consequences. ...When a problem seems bad enough, people often...

WASHINGTON -- Raw emotions will out. Civility has its limits. A woman bluntly asked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at a GOP rally in South Carolina, "How do we beat the bitch?" She went right to the heart of the Republican problem this year, without all the customary polite niceties. McCain chuckled and revealed his own true feelings, too. "Excellent question," he said. It would have been nicer politics had he shown a little more gentlemanly courtesy and objected to the questioner's crude demeaning of a U.S. senator. Ultimately, he recognized his Dukakis-like blunder and told the audience that he respected...

[snip] There is only one candidate vying for the 2008 presidency who will do all of these things and much more. His name is Duncan Hunter - California Congressman from the 52nd District. He is not only fearless, disdainful of politically correct niceties, a constitutionalist, a social conservative to the core, and defense hawk’s hawk, he also has a long record to match his conservative rhetoric. No other candidate in the race for the GOP nomination even comes close. [snip]
