Hunter: The American people have a right to have border security. They have a right to know who's coming into this country. They have a right to know that when people come in, they have to knock on their front door and they have to let us know who they are and what they're bringing with them. AND THE IDEA THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SECURE BORDER UNLESS WE EXTRACT MONEY FROM ILLEGAL ALIENS IS NOT A VALID PROPOSITION.

And incidentally, the House and Senate passed -- at my urging and the urging of a number of other members -- we passed an empowerment to the Department of Homeland Security to waive EVERY EXISTING STATUTE AND REGULATION that would -- that the border fence construction would come into contact with so that we can get the -- we don't have to wait for years of environmental lawsuits.

Now, you've got individual ranchers in this country who have built more fence than the entire government of the United States of America.

QUESTION: So there's nothing more the president can offer in this negotiation to get you to support comprehensive immigration reform?

HUNTER: To support amnesty? No!

Wow. Guns a blaziing. No wonder the MSM did not cover this. He's leap in the polls instantly.

[pissant]

MUST READ PING.

This man needs to be president.

[Laptop_Ron]

No, sadly, he won’t see much of a jump in the polls. I wish. He needs to get OUT THERE somehow. Wish I knew how. He’s got very little traction evidently, but he’s got promise.

[bboop]

He’s good. Maybe he’ll be snapped up for VP.

[pissant]

He holds a press conference and the MSM does not bother reporting it, despite being at the presser. He’s getting blacked out, for all intents and purposes.

Its starting to change. Levin had him on today.

[Laptop_Ron]

Keep your fingers crossed. He needs lots more visibility.

[pissant]

And money. Toos him a few sheckels.

Why is Hunter NOT doing any better in th polling? He is right on target on any of the issues that I’ve read anything about him on.
Instead we get spoon fed Gulianni and McCain in large doses daily by the “talking heads”.

[Laptop_Ron]

From what I’ve heard from him, I’d rather he was president, but that’s not very likely. If that RINO Guiliani gets the nod, he’ll have to take someone like Hunter just so he can pretend he’d have a conservative administration.

[mdittmar]

It’s early;)

[pissant]

toos = toss. ooops

[pissant]

I know. He’s in it to win it too.

[FlashBack]

I just “toosed” him a few more bucks the other day!!!

[nicmarlo]

according to the Appropriations Committee yesterday, there's $864 million cash on hand in the Department of Homeland Security right now for building the border fence. Now, in seven months since the president signed this bill -- that's October 26 -- they've only built, according to the schedule we got yesterday, 13 miles

[pissant]

I will reply in kind soon. LOL.

In fact if you see the fred “abortion” thread, you will see I gave him some kudos after you left.

[pissant]

LOL.. Many thanks.

[Pelham]

It’s also little wonder that certain “conservative” radio hosts give Hunter little coverage. They’d lose their special relationship with RNC elites.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

This man needs to be president.

Yup I think he'd be a good one. He needs to keep hammering away on secure borders and bringing law and order back to the immigration process.
