In our first poll of the 2008 political season, Rep. Duncan Hunter has moved in front of former Senator Fred Thompson, 46-33 percent. In third place is a tie between former Speaker Newt Gingrich and former NY Mayor Rudy Guiliani. Our poll is open through Sunday, March 18, with the top 3 vote getters headed towards to 'playoff' in April. Our goal of this poll is to gange conservative leanings for president. If you haven't done so, kindly vote today!
Just added to DH's lead. By far, THE best man for the job today.
We are for Duncan Hunter. Fred Thompson would also be a good candidate.
Hunter up to 47%...
48% Hunter
32% Thompson
Thankfully, no votes for S yet.
It wouldn't let me vote, saying I'd already voted. The fact that I've never been to the site before apparently wasn't convincing.
I've been disenfranchised!

Wait and see with Fred Thompson. I just remember he seems to be rather sedate when it comes to confronting Demonrats and the media, like he tended to be with the Clintoons. More of the new tone pushover. Conservatives have to get behind a candidate and hopefully they'll realize that candidate is Duncan Hunter.
Great to know! I just want to say to Duncan Hunter's son that I have been an admirer of your father since 2003 and seeing his work as Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. I'm from NY state! But I have to say he is the finest of the Republican party and when I thought about the lack of great candidates in 2008 I always hoped for Duncan Hunter but have to say I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Hunter in fact got in the race and it is a good thing because he will make the most amazing President. He's a great man and he's going to gain more and more support once the GOP sees and hears from him. All the best to you and we'll continue to help get the word out. Go Hunter!
It's amazing that McCain gets zero in this poll, and no one on FR seems to want him, yet somehow he is one of the top 3 in those national polls. Who can be voting for him in the MSM polls, and why do so many big name Republican pols endorse him? A great mystery. Makes me wonder if the high standing of Rudy in MSM polls is also inflated.

My answer each time: not a chance. Then on Sunday, there was Mr. Thompson on Fox saying he's open to the possibility and will consider it. Whoops. What happened? I wasn't making stuff up when I expressed doubt. I spoke with the former senator in New York six months ago as various broadcasters gathered for the fifth anniversary of 9/11. |

If you support Duncan Hunter make sure you check out his campaign site at http://www.gohunter08.com
Hunter shows no fear against the treasonous Demonrats and their media minions. That's just part of the reason why he will make the strongest possible GOP nominee.
Just some background info on Hunter and his outspoken nature to go where not many(I don't think any) Republicans go with their spineless nature.
Hunter on Abu Ghraib(courtesyhttp://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3128goss_hunter_block.html : )
Probably the single loudest obstructionist voice in the House of Representatives in support of the Cheneyac "Beastman" policy in Iraq has been Armed Services Committee chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Hunter has been able to use his position to block any meaningful inquiry into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and at every public opportunity, has railed against those who are demanding such an investigation. He even went after his GOP counterpart in the Senate, John Warner (Va.), for holding three hearings in two weeks on the scandal, practically accusing Warner of treason.
Under great public pressure, Hunter has since held one hearing, for part of one day, and has no intention of having any more. During debate on the Fiscal Year 2005 Defense Authorization bill, on May 19, Hunter declared, "We have had enormous publicity the last number of days about the mess at Abu Ghraib. I estimated we have probably devoted as much media attention to that mess involving now, as identified, some seven personnel, as we did to the Normandy invasion. And that is an imbalance. It is time to refocus." What did he want to refocus on? "The 135,000 great personnel doing their job in Iraq."
On June 14, when the committee took up a resolution of inquiry sponsored by some 40 Democrats, demanding the Pentagon be more forthcoming with documents relating to the prison scandal, Hunter placed the 6,000 pages of the report on the abuse and torture of prisoners filed by U.S. Army General Anthony Taguba (the Taguba Report) on a table at the head of the hearing room and railed at the Democrats, "Isn't that enough for you?"
Hunter on Guantanamo(courtesy http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050613-033125-4935r.htm:)
California Republican Duncan Hunter held a press conference to discuss the treatment of detainees at the island jail, and spent his opening statement going over a daily menu for prisoners that included oven-fried chicken and fresh fruit.
"This is what Osama bin Laden's bodyguards will eat several times a week. Lemon chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, bread and two types of fruit," Hunter said, inviting a reporter to come eat with him.
Hunter was digging himself out of small hole he got into over the weekend when he said on a news program that the White House is divided over whether to close the jail.
"I think they've come to the conclusion, some members of the White House have come to the conclusion that the legend now, that the legend is different than the fact, and when that's the case you go with the legend that somehow Guantanamo has been a place of abuse and you close it down and you shorten the stories, you shorten the heated debate and you get it off the table and you move on," he said.
Ping! Make sure you vote!
Some well known web sites which allow folks to "vote" for the candidate they would most want to see nominated for President don't even have Hunter on their list of candidates. Of course this means that certain people in high places greatly fear him.
