There is simply no one on the scen calling things as clearly as Duncan Hunter. I hope the momentum he has gained continues to grow to a steam roller.

Come on Hunter fans. After leading in the poll by tremendous margins "Non-member Votes" have pushed another candidate to just ahead of Hunter.

Because he is solid on:
Life
Borders
Immigration
War On Terror
Strong Military
American Economy
Lower Taxes

FREEPERS WANT DUNCAN HUNTER FOR THE 2008 GOP NOMINEE - SO PLEASE VOTE IN THIS POLL.

Duncan Hunter, a long-shot Republican candidate for president in 2008

Sounds to me like he's the only viable Republican candidate for President to appear on the scene.

The rest of the so-called "hopefuls"?
Forget it.
RINOs all.

The "yellow peril" again. Pluueeze, get used to a problem if you want to make it. The Chinese are not going away, they won't stop producing things and they gradually are developing an economic system that works. Presently, they sell cheap labor but soon they will have hi tech goods and services. As they increase the number of the middle class, they will become more, rather than less, like us and the other Western powers.

They still have a closed society with currency controls. When they do loosen these, watch their currency drop not increase. There are many rich people in China that would love to put some of their assets elsewhere.

The world economy is now so interrelated that it is impossible to tell who benefits from what. Cheap goods from China mean fewer manufacturing jobs here but the goods increase the living standards of those who purchase them.

Duncan Hunter may excite some but he will not change economic course no matter what job he is in.

MSM is calling for punitive action against Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela--so CNN, [p]MSNBC, FOX et al won't give this guy the time of day, outside of scandals...

Now, now, Duncan, must not anger our trade partners. We have humongous plans to build toll roads and railroads all over the country to transport their goods. We need to supply jobs to millions of illegals for future taxes. We need to compete with the European market economy or go belly-up. We need to continue to give China our latest weapons technology so they will be on par with us and not feel militarily threatened. Where is your spirit of multi-nationalism and homeland security?

Whats wrong with Chinese goods? My ipoc still works...now if I could only figure out what it does!

[Thunder90]

We should also slap punitave sanctions on the Russians, Kazahs, and the Belarussians.

China is a different country than the Soviet Union. It may generations but it is possible that China may in the distant future become a democracy on its own. As the last adherents of Mao, Dung Xia Ping (I don't know how to spell his name so forgive me) die off. Doesn't any believe that 3rd and 4th generation leaders are going to be even a fraction of the believer in Socialist Doctrine as their predecessors. Not to Mr. Hunter, put punitive sanctions on China, and they will call in there 800 billion dollar marker. They have been buying are Treasuries for years, and then they will stop and start putting their enormous cash reserves into Euro Treasuries and investment vehicles. They might start charging more for exported goods and slap tariffs on any imports from the US. Oh, yeah they might start actively egging on the Iranians, giving them even more sophisticated weapons for which they can kill Americans. Even if they didn't the economic effect of really picking a fight with China would be devastating. Do you think that the Treasury has 800 billion to make good on those notes.

I would prefer that we require they have all the business 'adjunts' we have in America:

Taxes
Workers unions
Taxes
EPA
Taxes
OSHA
Taxes
Workers Comp.
Taxes
HHS
Taxes
ADA
Taxes
DOT
Taxes
Trial Lawyers
Taxes
Product liability
Taxes
Minimum wage
Taxes
Sexual harassment laws
Taxes

That'll take care of 'em.

As far as I'm concerned, Hunter doesn't have a chance. His record shows him to be another free-spending, big-government, RINO. CAGW rated him a 71%, two points lower than the already miserable average rating for Republicans. NTU rated him 51%, three points below the Republican average. The American Conservative Union rated him 92% which puts him tied for 103rd place among Republicans in the House. Despite his cheerleaders here on FR, there are many others in the GOP that have much better records as conservatives. He may not be among the worst, but he's sure not among the best.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Hunter is the man. I will vote for him. Time to tarrif all chinese goods.

[Calpernia]

Go Hunter bump!


(Kissinger won't be happy with this one!)
