1) He is the most conservative candidate in the race. He has a 92% lifetime rating, American Conservative Union.

2) He is the "National Security" candidate. He served with the 173rd Airborne and the 75th Army Rangers in Vietnam, and was, most recently, the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives. Duncan Hunter knows defense.

3) He is a strong supporter of missile defense.

4) He's a strong supporter of Israel.

5) He was responsible for building the fence along the Mexico-U.S. border in San Diego. That double fence -- that fence cut smuggling (people and drugs) over 90%. 6) He opposes the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty bill in the Senate.

7) He is a co-sponsor of the Fair Tax.

8) He was the co-sponsor of a bill that would require a 2/3 majority in Congress to raise taxes.

9) He is a strong proponent of fair trade and will fix some of the bad trade deals that have been made by previous administrations in order to keep high paying jobs in America.

10) He pledges to appoint originalist judges like Antonin Scalia.

11) He has a 100% Pro-Life rating from National Right to Life.

12) He believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. He supports a Constitutional Amendment to protect marriage.

[pissant]

Another blogger for Hunter.

[pissant]

It’s OK, you can jump on the Hunter bandwagon later.

[xcamel]

As soon as you throw yourself under a bus.

[cripplecreek]

Even notice how he can verbally slap the democrats across the face and they don’t fight back? Guess they don’t want a fight with a republican with a backbone. LOL

[Petronski]

Airborne & Ranger (in wartime, no less)
100% Pro-life Rating
Strong 2nd Amendment
Strong friend of Israel
Firm on pursuit of missile defense

There’s five good reasons in my book.

92% Lifetime rating, American Conservative Union

Not good enough!! Where did the other 8% go??
If this RINO is nominated, I will sit out '08 and wait for a REAL conservative!

Recent additions....too new for the table created YESTERDAY!

Duncan Hunter on BIG STORY WEEKEND with Julie Bandaras

Hunter on Hardball 07-30-2007

[org.whodat]

2% in the polls.

Is that a minus are plus, anyway I thought he was below 1%.

[counterpunch]

His support is to low to accurately measure, but according to Rasmussen he shares 4% with 4 other candidates.
That puts each around 0.8%

[xcamel]

first the Rue Paul bunch, now the Dunkin Dough Nutz.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Note that John Kerry became the nominee, even though he had less than 4% in national polls in the days before the Iowa (IIRC) primary. He won, and immediately vaulted to over 50%.

Bill Clinton himself had less than 3% polling nationally in October of 91.

Poll numbers at this point in time are meaningless.

But I find it comforting that, in terms of policy, you don’t disagree with Hunter at all. ;)

[counterpunch]

No one disagrees with Duncan Hunter on policy (except for those who say that 92% rating isn’t conservative enough.)
The main disagreement with Duncan Hunter as the GOP standard bearer is no one wants to lose the election by Barry Goldwater proportions.

[Chi-townChief]

No argument here.

[WalterSkinner]

Dunkin Dough Nutz

..who are you directing that to?

[dschapin]

Great Post, those are very excellent reasons to support Hunter for President.

[GOP_Raider]

pissant, you know I like ya in a non-Gavin Newsom endorsed kind of way. But now I must ask you this...

Duncan looks like a great candidate on paper, and certainly in interviews, op-eds, and so on. But what could reassure me that should he be nominated that he won’t be the 21st Century version of Barry Goldwater—and by this I mean, could he get blown out if Obama or, God forbid, Hillary does indeed get nominated on the Rat side?

To put it another way, does Duncan truly have what it takes to overcome the slickness (and probably the cheating) of the Dims?
