He was on FNC today and Brian Wilson all but said as much when Hunter was on the show. I don't know much about him. If he's a true less government conservative, that would be a good start.

April 28, 2004. The sentiments of this Vietnam veteran, stopped in front of the Republican National Committee headquarters, are clear. When not riding his motorcyle with his furry friend, he helps Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) with events.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is escorted by Commander of Troops Col. Robert Pricone, U.S. Army, as he inspects the joint services honor guard at the Pentagon during the National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony on Sept. 16, 2005. Hunter, a Vietnam veteran, was the guest speaker for the event co-hosted by Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Richard B. Myers, U.S. Air Force. The ceremony was attended by many veterans of earlier wars and by representatives of all the nation's veteran service organizations

Mr Hunter has impressed me on TV and on the House floor. He seems a bread and butter conservative who would go to the top on my list and would consider becoming one of his pioneers. If national security is a central issue in 08 I think that he can beat Hillary, Obama or Edwards

Sounds like he'd be a decent candidate. Better than McLame and Rudy.

Help me out. When's the last time a House Rep was elected prez?

He is a great Congressman and I have long hoped that he would challenge Boxer or Fineswine for Senator but President would be even better....Go Duncan Hunter!!!I would work on his campaign in a heartbeat..

I can tell you that he is better than anyone who has been mentioned so far. I hope he can get a high enough profile to get traction.

Duncan Hunter is a quality person and congressman.
He has more experience including on real world issues.
Also being a VN Vet. and his son a Marine says a lot.

YES!!!... I like this guy. He seems tought and clean. He seems to have the "ba--s" in the right place. (but I don't know his positions on social issues and those are key for me)

I don't know I don't like what we have so far for 2008... Allen?... No. We need people

Where can I find a list of his positions on critical social and fiscal issues?

He's entering the game late, and it's going to be difficult for him to find 'good' staff in Iowa. I would imagine other early states have most of their key people aready alligned with an '08 Wannabe.

If you can direct me to further details I would be very appreciative.

Duncan Hunter has been a detriment to the defense of the Nation. He has been in the pocket of the specialty metals lobby. In short, for years what has been called the Berry Amendment requires all specialty metals purchased as part of weapons systems by DoD be smelted in the US. Sounds great. However, there are only three factories in the US and they are going 24/7 but yet cannot keep up with demand. The smelters do NOT have any plans to expand. Thus, the acquisition of vital weapsons systems is in jeopardy. There was a change recently to Title 10 of the United States Code which added section 2533b (if my memory serves me correctly.) That section did not help much. Hunter had proposed making the Berry Amendment more stringent but President Bush threatened to veto the bill. Bottom line: Hunter puts special interests ahead of the defense of the natio.

Wow,
I could enthusiastically support any of the potential Rep candidates for President except McCain (not enthusiastically anyway).

Duncan Hunter goes to the top of my list for President. I've always been an admirer from afar and think he'd make a great leader.
