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:
We will have a productive, prosperous, democratic partner on our southern border,and the people won’t be so desperate to leave.
In the meantime, we’ll build the fence and make sure they don’t.
Exactly. These are dangerous times we live in.
Good fences make good neighbors!
155,000 non mexicans caught last year crossing. None of this would have happened if people had heeded Hunter 20 years ago.
No he’s not. If I were a dem I’d just for anyone in any district, eh? LOL That way I could vote for Bilbray and Hunter!
We have the same problem in Iraq.
Porous borders. Our problem may yet become as deadly.
To some small extent, it already is.

Thanks!
I’ve had that info for a couple of years, I think. When did the revised Law of the Sea Treaty come out, and is it better?
It has nothing to do with the man himself, his policies, nor anything he has said.
It is solely the result of ignorant, overly-aggresive ‘slash and burn’ supporters of his both here and other places on the net I frequent.
I, of course, would happily vote for Mr. Hunter, if he gets the nomination, but I’m sorry to say, I have an almost instant aversion to even hearing him speak, because I’m just so turned off by some of the support he seems to attract.
Flame if you’d like, but I’m only being honest with ya.
Thank you for having Mr. Hunter on, I am very impressed with his responses.
Them’s pretty tough words for a guy carrying Rudy’s bedpan.
Thanks very much for this informative thread.

>>>When did the revised Law of the Sea Treaty come out, and is it better?
I’ve not had any time to reread the latest one. It isn’t even easy to find on the net.
It was revised before it was reintroduced. I am familiar with the original one; but this one is suppose to be updated.
I give you credit for actually trying to find it and read it. I wonder if it’s awfully long.
I just read the Reader’s Digest version from the pundits.
“155,000 non mexicans caught last year crossing. None of this would have happened if people had heeded Hunter 20 years ago”
Hunter has a long history of being on the right side of
many issues.
9,524+ views so far.
Thank you so much.
Like what you see?

If you can’t afford to give a lot, give what you can, because it all adds up.
>>>I wonder if it’s awfully long.
Anything involving the UN is long with flowery language that has to be cross referenced to see what the dual meaning is when applied to other topics.
I’ve not even tried to look at the revised one. I do know that the new L.O.S.T. affects the gold digging treasure hunters.
Have you followed any of the stories of the Odyssey Marine Exploration’s treasure hunting vessel? John Edwards is an investor in the company.
The Odyssey has been going around since the late 90s and digging up gold from the Titanic, the Holocaust victims, Spain and more.
So, if the NEW L.O.S.T. adversely affects the democrats/left/et al, there must be some good revisions in it.
That is just my thought.
From Post #1, Question #2:
“Hunter: I wrote the law that mandated the construction of the border fence in California that reduced smuggling of people and drugs by more than 90% in our sector. I also wrote the bill, signed into law on October 26, 2006, which extends the California fence 854 miles across the smuggling routes of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. As, President I will build the border fence, all 854 miles, in six months.
If you examine the record throughout my entire career in the US Congress, you will see that no one has put in more effort to force the Federal government to enforce the existing internal laws. As President, I will do so, without question.”
While other politicians TALK tough about border security, Duncan Hunter has been the most EFFECTIVE at getting the job done.
