A border bonfire smolders.
There are two obvious ways to save the bankrupt liberal talk-radio network Air America: Get Al Franken some new, funny material, and hire a Lou Dobbs. I say “a Lou Dobbs” because the CNN host himself is probably too expensive, but his limousine populism is pretty easy to rip off: “Blah, blah, blah. Corporations are out to get you, Washington has sold you out, the fat cats have declared war on the little guy,” and so on.
The only hitch for liberals is that the “and so on” deals with illegal immigration, the issue that serves as the glue for American populist anger today. But liberals and Democrats won’t say anything serious on the topic. And in fairness, conservative Republicans have a hitch of their own: The leadership of their own party doesn’t want them to do anything about it

I'd vote for him. In a heartbeat.
I don't know much about Duncan Hunter but from what I have seen lately he seems like a pretty good guy. But I will need more information before I can support him for President.
I'm not ready to commit yet, but he does interest me.
From what I've seen and heard so far, he has the credentials and the conservative mindset missing in most other 2008 Presidential candidates.
Time will tell.
I'd vote for him. In a heartbeat.
Me too. He's a Vietnam vet and was a heavy-equipment operator in San Diego before running for Congress.
He's worked for a living.
Duncan Hunter for President....ditto!
He might be able to force the party to embrase issues that are important to him (and many others) but it's doubtful that he'd get the nomination or get elected.
Query: Name the only serving house member who was elected President?
He's a strong conservative.
He's plain spoken, after Sept 11th, he simply said that Al Qaeda needed to be destroyed.
I know Bush mangles the language. But please spare us from a nuanced guy like John Kerry. I would go for Hunter for president.
Again this week with Kerry, as during the 2004 election, we were told how nuanced his positions are and his statements are nuanced. I guess too many of us just aren't smart enough to figure out what he's saying.
Is the House member elected President James Garfield?
2nd guess is John Qunicy Adams.
Duncan Hunter in 2008 is kind of like John Kasich was to me in 2000. In my heart, it's who I most support and would want to win. But, my brain tells me he can't win. I do like the prospect of Hunter as a V.P. pick though.
Duncan would get my support and vote
That’s why I hope the GOP will succeed at heading off the slide into demagoguery.
Jonah and his "not in my back yard, but yours is okay." illegal appologists can go dig a hole. Not wanting to have to deal with third world illegals and the rich pagent of problems they bring with them isn't demogoguery.
Just. Enforce. The Law.
That's all we ask.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
He's the man.
Conservative, patriotic and possibly capable of pulling in California electoral votes in the general election.
From what I know of Duncan Hunter, he is much better than McCain
Was it John F. Kennedy? Or was he in the Senate by then?

And the winner is!!!!
Actually, he's the only one. Ergo, as there has been only one in 220+ years:
A) The oods are not good
B) The chances of it happening again get better
I sorta go w/ "A"
The dems ran Kerry, the hero anti-war hero.
How about Duncan Hunter, an Army Ranger.
No cowards allowed in that group!
