He's got a 100% rating from FAIR on immigration (illegal alien) issues
http://www.ontheissues.org/CA/Duncan_Hunter.htm

Young patriot, real war hero, straight-talking, pure conservative, worked for a living as a heavy equipment operator, b-4 becoming a critter.
And I don't think he's ever put on women's clothing or hung around bars, prolly won't pal around with Klintons.
But the RINOs, Weakly Standardneos and ChofComm OBLs will want someone like BobDole, MRomney or McCain. (see tagline)

Duncan Hunter is one of our 5 congressmen here in San Diego
Hunter is the real deal. Also his Marine son has done 2 tours in Iraq.

[8thChild]

that's ginormous

"and what we need is for him to get front and center asap,"

What we need is for grass roots conservatives to get off their duffs and start building momentum for a conservative candidate. I think Hunter is the best (only) one. The party will not push a conservative so the people must.

[Paul Ross]

I think the whole idea that "a senator can't win", or in this case a congressman, will mean nothing in 2008. Heck, Giuliani WAS a mayor and Newt Was a congressman and the rest are Senators (except Romney). So, maybe Hunter will make a better show than expected, especially in such a broken field.

Bump!

[RockinRight]

Also let's consider that it may be a Repub Senator (or Congressman) vs. a Dem Senator, so that voids the whole idea. Since both parties' candidates are members of Congress...

[Kimberly GG]

lol...thanks...like minds and all!

Prokopton is right! If we don't prove we have some power, '08 will be the last election we'll get a chance to.

"what we need is for him to get front and center asap"


I agree! It's going to take some doing to get past MSM's love affair with Hitlery and McCain.
I believe the illegal immigration issue is much more on people's minds than most would like to admit. Duncan and Tancredo can bring the issue to the forefront if they lead the charge soon.

[kalee]

Nothing in there about amnesty for illegals. Where does he stand on that?

[Paul Ross]

We need to freep the polls on this. To get the ball rolling in the right direction.

[Plutarch]

I posted this last week, and so far no Duncan Hunter fans have answered. From what law school did Duncan Hunter graduate? If Rep. Hunter actually becomes a serious candidate, it will come under scrutiny.

On the Congressman's website he claims he attended Western State University Law School, and further states that he practiced Law. It doesn't indicate from which law school he graduated.

The State Bar website lists Thomas Jefferson University School of Law as the law school..

Just as we know that GW attended Yale and Harvard Business School, so too would we know about the somewhat less illustrious institutions at which Rep. Hunter is an alumnus. If Hunter graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, he should correct his bio before he gets accused of hiding it.

[WatchingInAmazement]

I'm not sure if I'm clear on this. Are you saying he says he attended W. State U and Jefferson SOL is part of that? I don't see what you see, sorry. I'll look again. Why not contact his website and ask?

[BARLF]

bump for clarification

[Plutarch]

I'm not sure if I'm clear on this.

I'm not clear on it either. Every Hunter bio has him attending Western States University for law school, but the California Bar lists Thomas Jefferson School of Law . These are two different institutions as far as I can tell. Since neither of these institutions has ever been heard of, I don't see any reason to hide one for the other. It is a problem that a candidate for President attended obscure for-profit schools above which Harriet Miers qualifications tower. The Dems will trot out their tried and true stupid charge that Hunter will need fight the whole way.

Cutting was the District Chief of Staff to Congressman Duncan Hunter; he was responsible for district offices and staff and was the Congressman’s representative and
spokesperson when the Congressman was in Washington.

Thought you might enjoy reading this.

It also lists Western States University, so there isn't a contradiction, more of a distinction. I think you're splitting a hair that isn't there.

Are you saying they aren't great "law" schools? Well, GOOD! Enough Ivy league lawyers.

[FastCoyote]

"Also let's consider that it may be a Repub Senator (or Congressman) vs. a Dem Senator, so that voids the whole idea. Since both parties' candidates are members of Congress..."

Thanks, I forgot to put that line in is all.

[Plutarch]

It also lists Western States University, so there isn't a contradiction...

The California Bar lists Western States as his undergrad school, and Thos Jefferson as his law school. Hunter's bio doesn't mention Thos. Jefferson. If that is his law school, it is an important part of his bio and that it isn't mentioned is a resume red flag.

Are you saying they aren't great "law" schools? Well, GOOD! Enough Ivy league lawyers.

Uh, Thomas Jefferson is far from "great". It is inconsequentional, so much so that Hunter neglected to mention it in his bio. If Hunter had graduated from an Ivy League law school (e.g. ala Romney), you best believe it would have been on his bio. If Hunter actually makes headway in the Republican primaries, or is nominated, mark my words, this will come up again and be used against him.
