Hunter has more charisma than the others put together. Too bad he can’t be seen to show it. He’s well spoken, never misses a word or fails to make his point. He has a great sense of humor and looks like a man, not a metro Rino. I want a commander in cheif, not an appeaser, preacher or used car salesman.

The wit and wisdom of Duncan Hunter

(AP) Referring to Giuliani, Romney and McCain, Hunter said: “The guy who has the most influence with these three gentlemen is Ted Kennedy. We need to move away from the Kennedy wing of the Republican party.” Hunter


“I don’t need consultants to give me a conservative image.” Duncan Hunter


I asked Hunter what he makes of [Texas Gov.] Perry’s doubting border walls.
“Perry should visit southern California”, Hunter replied, “to see how better fences prevent crossings. If you can climb the real border fence,” he said, “we sign you up for the Olympics.”

Duncan Hunter: I don’t belong to any organized religion... I’m a Baptist.

Duncan Hunter when speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference about his finish in the South Carolina poll said, “You know, I woke up to … one of the commentators saying that the only reason that Hunter beat all those guys in South Carolina is because his Marine son has been there for a week. Well, I looked down at that army of consultants, everybody who was vertical in South Carolina was hired by the other guys, and I said, ‘You know, that is a good match-up: One Marine versus 550 consultants.’ We did have the advantage!”

Hunter: “I’m leaving to meet a constituent that I haven’t seen for a long time... my wife! “

Hunter responding to Johnny Suttons’ remarks re: Campeon/Ramos:
HUNTER: You know, that’s about the weakest statement I have ever heard and about the weakest justification for saying that a guy is unarmed. So ask him. Pin him down on this thing. Say, did you search him, did anybody search him and so if you didn’t search him, how do you know he’s unarmed. And hit him with that. And, you know, the other question I’d ask him, if that’s true, how did those 600 people die in Nuevo Laredo, most of them in drug-related murders if guns weren’t used? Do these guys choke to death on their Wheaties in the morning?


Rep. Hunter makes use of child labor

We aren’t sure whether Rep. Duncan Hunter’s grandson is going to be class president or bully bait — it could go either way.

Hunter (R-Calif.) recounted in the Sept. 27 GOP presidential debate that the child, who is also named Duncan and called “D-3” by his family, has picked up some questionable habits from his grandfather.

“He walked up to his first-grade teacher about a month ago, stuck his hand out, and said, ‘My name is Duncan Hunter … My grampa’s going to be president,’” the senior Hunter said. “And then this little 6-year-old looked his teacher right in the eye, and he said, ‘Now, can I count on your vote?’ ”


Duncan Hunter comes right down Santa Claus lane (archive 1985)

Nurse Amy Salud, one of a platoon of nurses thanking Hunter for cheering their patients, shakes his hand and says they have met before. On a previous hospital visit? asks the congressman. “No, at the Miss Philippines Pageant,” says Salud. Hunter puts on a Scrooge face. “Ah, yes,” he says, “the Miss Philippines Pageant. I didn’t win.” Salud laughs.

He hands her a House of Representatives pen. He hands another to a bedridden patient. Hunter bends over and half-whispers, “It’s a congressional pen. It writes only in red.” The patient laughs.

I don’t have the time now, but will add to your “charismatic” posts. Form one of the debates before Iowa (9 or 10) and Hunter was asked what he would do to improve the image of America abroad:

I won’t even try to quote it - but he talked about how our brave servicemen and women have helped Afghanistan and Iraq, how our ships helped in the aftermath of the tsunami, etc. and ended up with “I will never apologize for the United States of America.”
