“I’m leaning for Fred Thompson, but I really admire Duncan Hunter!”

Not bashing Fred here, but he was (not sure if he still is) a member of The Council on Foreign Relations. This organization is pro-globalism and for North American integration.

This is what the Council posted regarding Duncan Hunter. In contrast with other candidates they wrote about....they do not support Hunter because of his Pro-America First views.

Duncan Hunter

Rep. Hunter (R-CA) has long been one of the most vocal China critics in Congress. He voted against the U.S.-China Trade Relations Act of 2000, which normalized trade relations with China. In 2001, Hunter sponsored a resolution to end those normalized trade relations, though that bill did not pass. Hunter has said that China is “cheating on trade and they’re buying ships, planes, and missiles with our money, as well as taking millions of jobs.”

Hunter cosponsored the Political Freedom in China Act of 1997. He cosponsored the 2001 Taiwan Security Enhancement Act, which increased military ties between the United States and Taiwan. That bill passed.

He also cosponsored a 2005 House Resolution opposing the potential takeover of Unocal Corporation by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation.
