Duncan Hunter's Long-Shot Conservative Bid

RealClearPolitics ^ | George Will

[Paul Ross]

Well, if it is your turn, you better find a candidate. Duncan Hunter ain't it.

Yes he is.

His record proves it. He is rock-solid on national security, (including defense procurement and troop funding) Border security, and liberty, tax reform, He espouses the Big Issues. Unlike every single RINO running with the MSM blessing...he could comfortably give "The Speech".

He was there from the beginning.

And that brings to mind an old favorite...the Time for Choosing speech. It bears re-reading..think how much it reflects negatively on the defensive apologia's about "prosperity" being our security ...made so brashly and zealously by the Clintonites...and now their successors...?

However, you and other Hunter supporters won't do the same for any other GOP candidate.

Not true. I'd support Newt. I'd support Huckabee. I'd support Brownback. I'd support Cox. It just so happens that I think Hunter is superior to all of them and CAN win it. Thus, I'm pushing him at this point. If Hunter's campaign goes nowhere, then I'll switch my support to one of the others. But I reject Rudy McRomney (Media) out of hand. Those guys are unacceptable. Period.

But hey, as I said before, at least I won't endorse a Democrat instead. The same can not be said of Rudy Giuliani--he endorsed Mario Cuomo publicly against George Pataki. Why on Earth do I owe that liberal backstabber any allegience at all?

First of all, the US Constitution in Article 1 Section 8 gives Congress the power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations". This is done so we do not have enterprising capitalists who make a deal today and regret it tomorrow, or worse, become beholden to the countries they sell to.

Trade is a valid function of the Federal Government.

The fact remains that in spite of the best efforts US forces and their Blessed M1 Garand and help from our allies, the leading cause of death amongst the Communist forces in Korea was cold and hunger. Sometimes the term 'exposure' is used as a catchall to describe the casualties from these elements.

I think the Chinese through the help of our trading policies have now overcome this risk factor to their forces, plus.

Now if we lived in a perfect world where communism and greed were just memories of old men, that would be one thing.

But we seem to be the same humans with the same wants, needs and fears that we were in 1950.

If the destruction of the satellite by the Chinese didn't awaken America, then nothing will.
