I’ve never understand the Hunter fans. He seems like a nice man but also something of an authoritarian and statist. His backers never mention, for example, that he voted for BOTH the prescription drugs boondogle and No Child Left Behind. His ranking from the National Taxpayers Union was also quite low.

Yes, he did. And he’s regretted not bucking Bush more...but then he was the only one bucking Bush in the GOP on several things....did you support Bush??? Or Ron Paul..the only one who didn’t support the GOP position on those issues???
Duncan Hunter’s conservative record is still better than any you can name, but then most people here could care less about that.
Authoritarian and statist??? Surely you are joking? The guy that wants to get rid of entire departments, who has fought the EPA his entire career, was the man standing between Clinton and his f’d up Crime bill as other republicans wilted, the guy who laid waste to Slick’s socialized medicine proposal, the guy who has valiently fought to cut every single benefit from illegal aliens - not to mention deport them, the guy who gets a fat ZERO rating from environmental groups, the guy with a perfect record on the 2nd amendment and property rights? That statist?
