Hmmm. I heard Romney raised $6.5 million on his first day.

Michael Toner, chairman of the Federal Election Commission, said he believes presidential hopefuls would need to raise at least $100 million to mount a realistic candidacy.

That kind of entry fee doesn't daunt Hunter, whose own spokesman said last week that his effort had about "$999,999" to go to raise that kind of money.

Wouldn't that mean his campaign has 99 million dollars already? I think somebody needs to check their math.

Hunter really needs a Howard Dean-esque Internet grassroots campaign. The last time I looked at his site, it didn't appear this was happening...yet.

I live in Iowa and just a few minutes ago, there was an ad on a local TV station by Hunter. He was by the fence near San Diego claiming the fence works and says we need to build more fence. He was promoting a website. I don't remember the address. To me, the ad seemed effective.

"I will lead with a firm commitment to the ongoing war against terrorists, a policy of economic opportunity for all Americans and a reaffirmation of the principles and faith of our founding fathers," Hunter said

I like him already; especially the first part of his statement. Who is he?

I like this guy. I'm going to be frank with my fellow freepers. Never, in my life have I been more afraid of mine and my families future than today. There is an evil in Congress and the Senate that we joke about but the bottom line? We're all scared shi$$ess of the possibilities. Obama?! Hillary?! Unacceptable! I'm going to pledge $1,000 of non-tax deductible dollars to Duncan Hunter. I'm honestly considering donating up to 10% of my income over the next 18 months. (I'll replace my church donations. I believe God will understand) I call on all of you to make similar donations to Duncan Hunter!

Can Hunter be a ruthless SOB?

The only thing that matters in 08.

"I believe God will understand"


IMO, money well spent. He seems to be the ONLY candidate who listens to the voters.

Amen to that! I've stated before on this website, I am truly frightened for my childrens future. They will not have a United States of America. The change is happening so quickly and the corruption is so blatant, it's scary. My kids are not babies by the way, they are 16,15 and 10. I definately like what I hear about Duncan Hunter, so far he's the man I would vote for. Unfortunately the media loves McCain, Rudy and Romney. No mention of Hunter, yet.

Albie,

I agree and have already donated to Hunter's campaign. While there are no perfect candidates, Hunter, in my view is head and shoulders above McCain, Romney etc. I used to work on the "Hill" in the 80's and Hunter was one of those few people of integrity up there.

I will work very hard for this guy and believe very much that he's got what it takes to lead our country.

I'll be 65 soon and I am as worried as anyone with likes of RINOs and Commies. DH is the closest to my style.

ANYBODY but Brownback (R-La raza)

Its like Hunter said, Romney needs all that money to hire consultants to try and make him look conservative.

Thankfully its not working.

Note to the Media ---- A John McCain for President Yard Sign will NEVER cast it's shadow on the front lawns of American Republican voters, so get over it and pay some attention to some of our other fine candidates.
