Conservatives ought to be frustrated and angry with the current top tier candidates for the Republican nomination. Giuliani, Thompson, and McCain all seem to be unreliable conservatives on important social and policy issues. Mitt Romney, the one seemingly reliable conservative has flip-flopped on a number of important social issues. This is exactly why the conservative movement should be looking more closely at Congressman Duncan Hunter from California's 52nd district. Congressman Hunter is a staunch supporter of winning the war against radical Islam, border security, and is friendly to religious and socially conservative voters.
Duncan Hunter has been a staunch supporter of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hunter served in Vietnam and earned a bronze star. His son, Duncan D. Hunter has served two tours of duty in Iraq. What is most admirable about Hunter's position on the war is his consistency. Unlike the entire Democratic Party and a few of his Republican colleagues, Congressman Hunter realizes that Iraq policy should not be swayed by public opinion and public pressure has not swayed his position on Iraq. Furthermore, with over two decades of service on the House Armed Services Committee, Duncan Hunter has "walked the walk" in terms of supporting the military. Republicans know the importance of stopping unfiltered illegal immigration and
Duncan Hunter has helped to defeat recent efforts to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. The congressman from California has also built a border fence between San Diego County and Tijuana, Mexico and helped write the "Secure Fence Act." Hunter silenced border fence critics by cutting crime and drug trafficking drastically with the San Diego border wall. No other Republican candidate (besides Tom Tancredo) has such a conservative and effective record on immigration.
With a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 92, Duncan Hunter has proved a reliable conservative. Hunter is also a family man with no personal baggage (i.e. Giuliani) and lots of experience in politics. With an extensive pro-life, pro-family message, Duncan Hunter can please the socially conservative wing of the Republican Party. GOP voters need to wake up and realize that this next election is pivotal to the future of the war on radical Islam. Duncan Hunter is an authentic conservative (of the Reagan mold), a hawk on defense and immigration, and would be wildly popular with conservative and evangelical voters.
The next election is first and foremost about standing up to Islamic thugs and fanatics murdering our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Electing a hawkish Republican would send a powerful message to the mullahs in Tehran. Duncan Hunter is not only electable to the GOP base but would be a boon to our efforts at defeating Al Qaeda in Iraq, Afghanistan, and across the world.
B4DH!
Hunter is a John Wayne in a sea of Leonardo diCaprios

Good one!
I’m getting some conversions too, both from democrats....

Wow! Rats?! Is it the immigration issue?
Immigration and China
pissant, Glenn Beck talked about his interview with Duncan Hunter. He said that PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MAN! He’s giving Duncan Hunter an hour on his TV show. Not sure, but I believe tonight. He sounded very impressed with DH!
In fact, Beck’s show repeats later on some stations. When it comes on, I’ll supply several links. You really need to hear the comments he made about Hunter!
Duncan Hunter is the man who will fight the WOT, and is the most qualified and gets things done!
Hunter got us ABS deployed in Alaska, and Hunter built up the defense that Bill Clinton tore down, and he got equipment and weapons to protect our troops, and our country, when he Chaired the House Armed Services Committee (when the Republicans had the majority), and Hunter went to Iraq FIVE times, and Hunter did some tough fighting duty in ‘Nam and won a medal, and HUNTER has a son who did two tours in Iraq, including Fallujah, and is now doing a 3rd tour in Afghanistan, so he has a lot a stake personally, as well.
Hunter says that border security is national security and he had a fence built which stopped drug trafficking and crime in San Diego, and Hunter authored the bill for a fence from California thru Texas, which was signed into law.
Excellent!!! No need to convince me though, the only two candidates I could vote for without any hesitation are Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo. Thompson? Possibly. Romney? A long drawn out maybe. Julie Annie, Huckleberry, McPain? No way.
This just came in EMAIL!

I heard that call and thought the same thing! We are in desperate need for a nominee that is willing to tell it like it is, and not be so NICE to the Dims.
Thanks.
Here’s one showing Fred at 6%, and discussing why.
