Hunter was THE Conservative running in this race. He seems to know Huckabee on a personal level and seems to be convinced that he is the man for the job.
Personally, I will need a lot of convincing before I take that plunge, but Hunter was the top Congressman on Military matters and the leader in the immigration fight. For him to endorse Huckabee is very surprising.
I'm hoping that Hunter can explain his position clearly. I understand he is a freeper. Maybe he'll come here and start a thread to explain himself. I'd be very interested in hearing the whole story.
Mr National Security, John McCain, should be well known to Duncan Hunter. If Tom Delay holds McCain in such disdain, then I’m guessing Hunter didn’t endorse McCain for obvious reasons.
Mr 911 is an unrepentant radical liberal in just about every way imaginable. Other than being mayor of a bombed city, which really is NOT national security experience, Rudy is an inexperienced radical liberal. I can’t see Duncan Hunter endorsing Rudy.
The Gov of Massachusetts recently recanted a gazillion liberal positions he has held dearly up to this point. Something about style and substance must have NOT impressed Duncan Hunter regarding Romney. I’m guessing he has reason not to buy the conversion stories.
Huckabee, the baptist Governor of Arkansas, sings well, and doesn’t do amnesty issues well, but he has been consistently pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-gay agenda his entire career.
My guess is that compared to the other 3 Stooges, Huck at least had a few convictions that he’d held for more than just this campaign.
What is the bottom line?
There is only one direction a real pro-life candidate can go to get relief: strict constructionist, originalist judges.
In the long run, that’s the critical issue for this country.
