Thank you!!!

Seems like Duncan Hunter might be the one I'll be supporting in the primaries.

[MHGinTN]

What's a good site to visit for a bio on Rep. Hunter?

[samm1148]

It is stuff like this that gives me a good feeling about Hunter. He is out doing conservative things, pushing conservative ideas. He is not defending a liberal record and explaining why he had liberal views x and y last year but has since changed his mind.

[rbookward]

The advantage of an imcumbent (or office holder) is that he can demonstrate through action where he stands on the issues.

Actions speak louder than words.

You're about 365 days late, there Johnnie-conservative-lately. If you wanted this to pass, why not last year? Or the year before? Or the year before?

[alicewonders]

So far the only negative thing I've heard people say about Hunter is that he has no name recognition. I'm doing my part to change that. I've forwarded his website www.gohunter08.com to everyone on my email list & I've gotten several positive feedbacks back, plus they're forwarding it on to their friends.

When people hear about him - they like him.

GO DUNCAN HUNTER!

[Candor7]

Remember when Pelosi brought out the children for her swearing in as speaker ceremony. Then later she glibs on about making America for the children?

What you see here is the Duncan Hunter answer to Pelosi. And notice that Pelosi has not signed as a sponsor to the bill? Is she really for the children?

Nice move Duncan, keep ON IT!

A bump for life!

St. Clement of Alexandria, Christ the Educator, 2:10, 202 A.D.

"If we should but control our lusts at the start and if we would not kill off the human race born and developing according to the divine plan, then our whole lives would be lived according to nature."

"Women who resort to some sort of deadly abortion drug kill not only the embryo, but, along with it, all human kindness." Ibid, 23:174

Bump.

BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!

[texastoo]

D. Hunter is still looking good. This scares the RINOs.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I'm sorry, but this all sounds like a stunt to gain attention. This is NOT the issue that will decide the next election. Hunter seems to be sounding more and more like a protest candidate than a real alternative.

[Corin Stormhands]

With all due respect, how many times did he introduce this legislation when the Republicans held the majority?

I'm not being snarky, I honestly don't know.

But if this is the firs time he's introduced this legilsation, I'd have to wonder.

[zbigreddogz]

Can you say "shameless grandstanding?"

This bill has no chance to pass, and he knows it, and even if it did, until one of the 4 liberals or Kennedy kicks the bucket, the court would strike it down, and he knows it.

I don't really have a problem with Hunter, but this is so clearly a shameless pander with 0 substance it's sickening.
