To members of Free Republic and friends, I would like to introduce a candidate for President of the United States and the current congressman from the 52nd district of California, Duncan Hunter!! To Americans who value the patriotism and missions of our Armed Forces, to those who want to put fear into the hearts of our adversaries from Beijing to Tehran, to those who value the rule of law when it comes to illegal immigration, to those who realize that the unborn deserve full legal protection beginning at conception, to those who believe Peace through Strength is far more than a motto, to those who do not like giving communist China unfettered access to our markets while they cheat at every turn, to those who want to halt and reverse losses of US sovereignty to global entities, and to those who want the GOP to return to Reaganism, Mr. Hunter is the Best choice.
Congressman Hunter currently is the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee, after spending the previous 4 years as its chair. He is an original co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill and he is the author of the Secure Borders bill, signed by President Bush in 2006, which mandates 800+ miles of double fence across the smuggling corridors of the SW. He also is the man who has led the fight against NAFTA’s Mexican truckers having free reign on our roads, has forced congressional oversight of the executive branch’s ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership’ with Canada and Mexico, and was instrumental in saving our military intelligence officers from having to jump through bureaucratic hoops unrelated to combat.
A Vietnam combat Veteran himself, he currently has a son in the Marine Corps, Capt. Duncan Duane Hunter who is busy hunting jihadis in Afghanistan after two tours in Iraq. Congressman Hunter has been the anti-dote to the liberals in Congress doing their damndest to cut and run from the battlefield. Mr. Hunter knows that this war is our generation’s calling, and “the only way we can leave is to WIN”.
Below are 15 questions we compiled last month on Free Republic, which we sent to Congressman Hunter a few weeks ago. They are followed by his answers. This is the springboard we will use to kick off Mr. Hunter’s live “virtual press conference” on FR today.
Please stop by and say hello and you may post additional questions. HOWEVER, Please realize that time limitations will prevent him from answering all the questions you may have. Though he may get time later to forward answers to many left unaddressed during this session.
Please drop Jim Robinson a note of thanks as well. For not only hosting this event, but for having the best conservative website in the country!
Also, no disruptors allowed. Your posts will be removed.
The following is our Kickoff Q&A session:
Welcome to FreeRepublic, Congressman Hunter! Glad you are here!!
Thanks for visiting, Rep. Hunter. It’s been obvious for a long time that Iran supplies weapons to terrorists in Iraq and that those weapons are being used to kill our soldiers. What would you do as president to stop Iranian arms and supplies shipment to terrorists in Iraq? Thanks!
(I saw on a Today Show interview of Hillary! Rodham (Clinton) that this is a typical hard-hitting question one might ask a candidate)
Hello Congressman Hunter. Thank you for your service and the service of other members of your family.
I heard you on Michael Medved’s show last week and it sounded like you have a special concern about keeping jobs and certain manufacturing fields in America. How do you propose to do that outside of protectionist tariffs and other measures that backfired during FDR’s years?
Thanks to everyone for being with us today and thanks to Jim Robinson for allowing this to occur. I recognize that I have a healthy amount of support on the site and I’m glad to spend time answering any questions you may have. Again, many thanks to everyone including pissant!
Hello, Congressman Hunter. Thank you for stopping by today. Thank you for fighting for America. Our family prays for your victory daily.
Thank you to everyone for being with us! A special thanks to Jim Robinson for providing the forum and making this happen. I’m glad to be here answering any follow up questions you may have for me. Also, special thanks to pissant for all of the support!

What an honor! Welcome.
In every speech I state that as President, when reviewing judicial applicants, any candidate for the bench who can view a sonogram of an unborn child, and not see a valuable human life, will not receive my appointment. This has been my position throughout my career and will be strongly emphasized in my Presidency. I will continue to make that known and continue to solicit co-sponsors in my legislation that establishes legal recognition of the unborn at conception.
The one thing that really bothers me are the special interest groups. So many past Presidents have turned their back on the American people to cater to these groups. How would you handle these people?
Welcome sir! It is an honor to have a conversation with you and to support you all the way!
pissant, what username has Congressman Hunter registered with so that we may know he’s joined this thread? (I’d guess Duncan Hunter, but that would be too easy.)

God Bless you, Sir!
Stay in! Illegitimi Non Carborundum!
Welcome, Congressman Hunter! Thank you for all that you do. It is noticed AND appreciated!
..oh man, you’ve really reached to top of Everest!
Welcome, Congressman Hunter. I look forward to reading the Q & A and supporting you in your run for presidency. I wear my Hunter ‘08 t-shirt with pride!
Don't give up, don't give in, please keep saying and doing what is right!!!
