As many of you know, Duncan Hunter was one of only 32 Republicans who voted in favor of the automaker bailout. Even 20 Democrats voted against it. While some folks may be surprised by that, it's actually fairly consistent with Hunter's overall track record on federal spending:
"Given many, many chances to restrain the size and scope of the federal behemoth, Duncan Hunter all-too-often went the other direction."
"Case in point : Duncan Hunter's 2007 Club for Growth rating was 26%."
"He did receive an 82% rating from Citizens Against Government Waste in 2003, but the rest of the years, Duncan Hunter has failed to live up even to that mediocre standard. His 2004 CAGW rating was a dismal 51%. Overall, Hunter has a lifetime average of 65% from these two groups--which places him in the LOWER HALF of the California Republican delegation...Hunter's ratings from the National Taxpayers' Union echo the numbers from Club for Growth and CAGW, with Hunter's NTU ratings hovering around the 50% level in most years..."

Why the dozen threads on Hunter tonight? 2012?
Naw, it’s called PAYBACK, and it’s a bitch.
The irony is delicious....
Don’t worry about it. Duncan Hunter has zero chance of becoming POTUS.
Because pissant is pissing in everyone’s Wheaties with his anti-Palin threads...about things she had to say as McCain’s VEEP.
But what is funny is his guy from 2008 (Hunter) has the exact same problems, except he didn’t have to shill for McCain, he did it on his own.
Good work Josh...we’ll all learn how to spell hypocrisy soon!
Zero percent chance of becoming President? Nothing has changed since 2008.
lol
Hey who is the 2%er pissant is backing this time around?
I’m sure their is some obscure unelectable congressman somewhere that meets his high standards...
