Washington, D.C. Republican presidential candidate Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) criticized fellow GOP contenders Thompson and Romney after they released position papers on illegal immigration apparently discovering only just recently the policy he has been advocating for years.
Both the Romney and Thompson plans talk tough on border security and cracking down on illegal immigration, but the plans beg the question as to why their records dont reflect such rhetoric.
Rep. Hunter explained, I can tell you that my proposals to significantly increase and strengthen deportations, penalties, interior and border enforcement, and to curtail the incentives for illegal aliens generally had few vocal allies in the US Senate
Mr. Thompson certainly was not among them.
He continued, As for Mr. Romney, the fact that many cities in Massachusetts were, and remain, protected sanctuaries for illegal aliens, makes one wonder if this is just one more of the those I saw the light moments.
While Congressman Hunter is pleased to see the GOP candidates move towards the positions he has been advocating for decades, he stated, watching Senator Thompson, Governor Romney, Mayor Giuliani and now even Governor Huckabee attempting to outflank one another on this issue is, frankly, amusing; after long careers where the problem was either ignored, or in some cases, exacerbated.
Rep. Hunter authored and shepherded legislation that built a two-layer border fence outside of San Diego leading to a 53% drop in crime and 90% decrease in drug trafficking along that corridor. Hunters message of a stronger national defense, tighter border security, and fair trade with China is resonating with voters across the nation.

Well, give us all a call when Hunter stops pretending to be an opponent and starts acting like he’s actually running for something.

The one thing about Hunter, I haven’t heard him flip-flop on illegal immigration.
And, doesn’t Mitt want Universal healthcare? That’s a no-no on my books.

For the seven days ending October 21, 2007 show that Rudy Giuliani earns 25% of the vote while
Fred Thompson attracts 19%. Mitt Romney is at 15%, John McCain is the favorite for 12% and Mike Huckabee is at 8%.
Ron Paul is at 2%, Tom Tancredo at 1% and
Duncan Hunters support rounds up to 1%. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided (review history of weekly results). Sam Brownback was included as a candidate for the first four days of the poll, but not the final three days. His support, less than 1% of the full weeks total, was added to the undecided total.

When Hunter wins, there won’t be any need. With hell having frozen over, the ensuing ice creeping up through the ground will cause one heck of a flood. So, I’ll be swamped with cleaning that up, all the while, ducking to avoid flying pigs on top of that. I won’t even have time to thank you.

It’s about time! I look for the supporters of other candidates to start calling for Duncan to bow out. They are getting nervous and they are discovering a NE flip-flopper and a moderate Senator actor they rolled out of mothballs just don’t look quite so promising standing next to a real conservative who has done the things they can only talk about.

Free Republic Opinion Poll: (10/23) Who would you vote for if you were not afraid that your candidate might not win?
If’n you’d have been around back in 2000 you’d know that we would now have President Buchanan or Keyes based upon FR polling. National polling won’t give you a Hunter lead much less a win. With something like 72 days until the votes are being cast in Iowa I’m not sure what the man can do to even become a blip on the national political scene. The question becomes can we keep Rudy from being the nominee and further splits among the party voters don’t help.

Yeah, but think about the methane footprint of all of those flying pigs. It’ll probably be a wash.

You should have thought of that before you and yours “drafted” Fred and further split the vote.

"Fred Thompson: Longtime member of the Senate Centrist Coalition. Enough said." Say what you will: Fred is by far the most conservative of the four front-runners (you know, those most likely to be nominated?)
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, longtime member of the anti-America, loathe-the-military, pro-NARAL, Chinese Communist financed, high-taxes, dirty tricks crowd (and we get Bill again for free! Whoopee!)'Nuff said!!

Good idea! We could have the presidential candidates duke it out in Thunderdome.

1%ers don’t win elections. This guy has been running for President since last year and can’t break out. The public is telling him something but he’s not listening. The man has done good things in the Congress but the people are saying no to his request for a promotion. Now whose fault is that?.....
