His positives are VERY positive. I could actually get enthusiastic about Hunter.
Are there any skeletons?
Did he jokingly call anyone some sort of obscure primate recently? Did he use a racial term in jest sometime in the last 40 years? Did he serve in a military branch that is acceptable to liberals? Can he rise above a faked memo?
Because he's going to run against democrats that have only drowned young women, recruited members for the KKK, been impeached and removed from the bench for bribary and have connections to acts of sedition.
So he's gotta be clean.
I agree and if there is any negative, I want to know now, not in 2 years. There has only been one hint of something. Judge for yourself.
DOBBS: Well, we can also -- you -- talking to folks like me, you're also going to get asked questions like this one. You're accused of taking some $46,000 from the very same defense contractors that were turning money over to Duke Cunningham, who's now sitting in prison. How do you respond to those critics that suggest something more there?
HUNTER: Well, Lou, what always happens, you open up the doors to a fund-raiser, and -- and 1,000 folks come through it. There's nobody's sitting there with a crystal ball, saying, eight years from now, this guy that is contributing to you...will be in trouble. So, you open up those doors, and folks come in.
But I would also say this. General Dynamics was probably my biggest fund-raiser over the years, based in San Diego. I killed their biggest program at one time, the Seawolf program, because I thought it was too expensive for the taxpayers.
DOBBS: Right.
HUNTER: Boeing was probably my second biggest contributor, and I killed their biggest program at one time, got overridden by my colleagues from the Armed Services Committee.
But I do what I think is right for the country, Lou, and let the chips fall where they may.
