Good of Hunter to presume the best about his audience, and if it turns out he held them in overly high esteem, they can correct him by their response. One hopes he isn't disillusioned.
An encouraging item: on yesterday's This Week with George Stephanopolous, Duncan Hunter received some attention during George S.'s interview with Sen. Kennedy: George S. showed the clip of Hunter at the debate describing the few GOP'frontrunners' as being of the 'Kennedy wing of the party' and advising GOP voters to move away from it. Hunter looked good in the clip, and Kennedy didn't seem to have a response as apparently none had been scripted for him by his staff/caretakers.
Hunter will get national press because he’s the only Republican there. He will be receive some boos and will be gracious. I’m guessing the MSM will only show the boos.
Walking into the lion’s den.
Should make for some interesting quotes!
And even better film footage!
I can’t believe none of the others are going. Whether the media shows the boos or not, he will get a lot of positive press just for showing up.
“Hispanic communities in other states are made up of more residents from Central and South America and Puerto Rico, and leaders are more likely to be Democrats.”
Double the reasoning for DEPORTING them!
There is a one way street on ethnic identification - whites need not apply. How much credibility would a National Association of White Elected Officials
get? It would be considered a racist organization, right?
So how should we treat this organization then?
How can this double-standard point be raised without firing up the dragons of political correctness?
Ann Coulter just did a GREAT job on GMA...mentioning Duncan Hunter as her FAV!
Maybe he’s figured out that most legal “Hispanics” are against illegal immigration, too!
how much does mnesty play into this agenda ...
“Empowering Immigrant Communities through U.S. Citizenship”
bttt
Looks like there is a Saturday session, so it is possible.
To tell the truth and be honest.
I wouldn't recommend going there for him, from a public perspective point of view, it looks desperate, but I know he won't pander, and I know he won't coddle, or waver.
Maybe they'll appreciate his honesty, but more likely, they'll jut boo him.
Never let it be said he lacks guts, but campaign wise, this isn't a good move for him.
I hope that Mel is fired from the RNC. Then the GOP can start to rebuild what they once were.
Interesting. So Mel Martinez is all that stands between the Republican party and "what they once were"?
In Vietnam, this guy would walk point on patrols with the 173rd and later a Ranger outfit. These people offer no danger to him.
Hunter isn’t planning anything, I would bet. The man has courage.

Correct; there a millions of “Hispanics” who think of themselves only as Americans. The hyphen was thrown out a long time ago; those are the folks we need to go after. Let the hyphenated Americans vote liberal.
Sorry for the double play.
“Especially considering that none of the other Republicans accepted an invitation, while all of the Dems are coming...”
I don’t think, other than Tancredo, that there is another Republican candidate as tough on this issue as Hunter...maybe the others just didn’t want to get caught pandering, like the dems. Even if they could get away with ‘blaming’ the need for border security on terrorism, these candidates KNOW where the American public stand. Answering questions about what they would do with the illegals already here, would be tough...and very telling.
good point.
