Duncan Hunter is what a Republican should be. He is also the type of President we need now and he will continue to show that he IS the best. 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.

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?"

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!
Why would we spend $137.2 million to build a building to destroy liquid propellant when at the same time we are working jointly with the Russians on the international space station and Russia keeps having funding issues with doing their share.
It sounds like the continued government stupidity of doing something worthless or counterproductive, just so they can say they did something.
The Russians on the other hand are just sucking in US tax dollars to build provide jobs in their bad economy.
...but later the Energy and State Departments launched associated nonproliferation initiatives to tackle fissile material control, scientific “brain drain,” and the safe shutdown of production facilities for the weapons.
In other words we are funding Russian weapons research in order to keep their weapons scientists from leaving Russia to work in another country. However, since Russia keeps selling weapons to our enemies, we are in truth funding development of the weapons that are used against us.
There have been very few in congress to call the dems to the carpet for wanting to demonize the USA and our military for how we treat terrorist captives. Hunter almost singlehandedly shoved this manure back down their throats, while so many GOPers cowered in the shadows and other retarded ones (John McCain) joined the democrat slanders.
Not any more, thanks to Hunter and a few others.
His soul may not be lost, but it is not hanging out in the Reagan wing of the party.
Yes, that is a Hunter mainstay. The GOP needs a leader like him. No one gets it and says it better. He is onto the threats we are facing from China and Russia along with the terrorists. With our national security being the main issue in the forseeable future and with the public being influenced by the propaganda we had better have a strong messenger who can get through to the people and Duncan Hunter is the man. He also has the strong credentials to take on national security in the election and as President. I would love nothing better than for Hunter to put Hillary or Obama or whomever the Demonrats put up and just show them for what they are and with Hunter you would get it. There is no doubt he is the man.
Yes, and he was on Laura Ingraham's show again this AM, though I missed it.
Do either of you know if Laura does transcripts?
Once again: is there anyone more qualifed to be our next COMMANDER-in-Chief?
Lugar is a pathetic RINO who sold his conservative soul (assuming he ever had one) many moons ago. He once fancied himself running for president, but had all the charisma of a mashed potato sandwich. But he's still trying to crate a legacy for himself by pouring billions of dollars into this CTR boondoggle.
BIG bravo for Congressman Duncan Hunter who has the cajones to not only put the spotlight on this farce, but to fight to put a stop to it.
THAT is the kind of patriot we need in the White House!
Unclear why you're posting a 2003 article. Pro-Duncan Hunter?
Yup. It may have made sense to help the ruskies in 1993, but not now.
With all the whining "Who is he?" it is to show Hunter has been an active, no nonsense, influential member of Congress even though his face may not always be plastered on your tv like the media lovefests with McCain and Rudy. It's to show his positions and his nature. And it just so happens people should be aware there is FINALLY a Republican up that will take on the Demonrats and media. Not since Reagan!
Don't know but we'll have to find out! Great to know at least Laura is giving him a chance and letting people know what he has to offer, unlike some of the other 'conservative voices'.
Umm, unlike Rudy and McCain, there are not 20 writers each day in the MSM or the CMSM (that's conservative MSM) writing about Hunter's history. They are too busy putting perfume on the turds known as the frontrunners to pay attention to conservative man who should be president.
FR will soon become a real treasure trove of info on this guy. Beats the hell out of reading 5 Rasmussen/CNN/Time polls each day here telling us a year before the primaries that Rudy can beat Hillary in Pennsylvania, doesn't it?
I know Levin likes him. Bennet has had him on twice in the last month. Now we need to work on el Rushbo. Hunter is Rush's kind of guy.
That sounds like a big sucking money draining hole.
Although I voted for him many years ago, he's been in the beltway way too long. It's way past time for Dick to retire to his Marion County farm.
