I'd also like to add that I don't doubt that Hunter asked the Pentagon to consider the contract from Wilkes because the company was headquartered in his district in San Diego. That doesn't mean that he put undue influence on them, as evidenced by the letters that he wrote the Pentagon telling them to use their own judgement.
I don't know about you, but when I vote for a Congressman I vote for a man that will try to bring jobs and help the economy in my community. Just because Duncan was House Chairman of the Armed Services committee doesn't mean that he didn't still have obligations to the community that elected him to office.
Yes, twenty some letters with the caveat to use their own judgement.
"I don't know about you, but when I vote for a Congressman I vote for a man that will try to bring jobs and help the economy in my community."
Then you will love Hunter. He's never met a spending bill he didn't like.
"Just because Duncan was House Chairman of the Armed Services committee doesn't mean that he didn't still have obligations to the community that elected him to office."
And I'm sure they appreciated the over $9,000,000 they received for doing a job that the Army didn't want done and which took funds away from important projects.
Vote Duncan Hunter...he delivers the pork!
Duncan Hunter has certainly been a good congressman for his district, but I'm quite sure that's all he'll ever be.
Has he announced that he won't be seeking re-election next year for his House seat?
No need to answer. I already know.
