Amen, Mr. Hunter!
It's about time somebody stood up to the EnvironMENTALists.
They won't let us dig in our oil-rich country, and the endangered species law went into effect in 1973, the same year as Roe.
>...the guy kinda reminds me of Bob Dole (ie.war hero....)without Bob's charisma and sense of humor.<
There is no comparison between the two men. Bob Dole was, in my book, a total bore. Duncan Hunter. rather than trading on wartime experiences, concentrates on issues important to all Americans with the strength, vision, determination and good sense seldom found in one person. You don't have to be a standup comic to have charisma (the above qualities are very attractive to me), though he certainly is not lacking in that department either.
Hunter is hilarious sometimes even when he is serious.
Every politician does what is best for the people who vote for him.
Every one of them. Governors, Mayors, Senators and Congressmen. That's politics.
Now, who do when was the last time a new President was elected in the middle of a war?
Who do you want to be the person to step into that role?
I know who I want. A combat tested, Airborne Ranger.
Somebody who has a vested interest in the outcome. Like a son in combat.
A man who says what he means, means what he says and is smart enough to convey his position in unmistakable terms.
DUNCAN HUNTER!
That quote is absolutely incredible. Great post!
I bet arguing with your dad as a kid was not a fruitful experience. LOL
Hunter calls the environmental portion of the bill the "Freedom to Train Act," and said it strikes a reasonable balance between nature and national security.
"We went at this with the viewpoint that the most important endangered creature is the 19-year-old Marine rifleman,"
***Excellent quote. Bookmark.
Hunter for president bump!
Great job letting people know what Duncan Hunter is like. Get to know the candidates people! There is no one better.
Charisma transplant? No thank you. I don't like pretty boys. It's nice to have a manly man whom shows he clearly has a military background. Hunter knows what to say and says it well. The other turkeys the GOP offers up cannot say the same!
It's quite easy when calling attention to the absurdity of liberals and their policies. Not many Republicans do that.
Your Dad has the best quotes! Simple and right to the point with a great wit.
It seems every election year, some liberal politician dons an NRA cap and grabs a shotgun for a hunting photo-op, as if that means they support our right as Americans to keep and bear arms. I, myself, thoroughly enjoy hunting, having just recently spent a great weekend hunting elk in Arizona. But, the second amendment is not about hunting. It is about the right of you and me to be secure in our homes. We must vigorously defend against all attempts to chip away at the Second Amendment. You know as well as I do that there is one thing criminals prefer over any other: unarmed victims.
Yes, he makes a mark. Just what the GOP needs for a candidate. No one says it better.
I'd leave the lawsuit provision in, but make it much harder for people to acquire standing to sue. Apart from that, the house bill is fine with me.
