This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:
"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of Americas industrial base."
"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.
Looks like Hunter’s Rangers just bought a lifetime supply of squirrel rations.
Hope that goes down well, boys! :P

Sorry! Was using the first part of your screen name, thats all.
Wait until 2012. He’s the GOP’s Obama. I expect that he’ll be speechifying at the RNC this year.
And of course I was depressed over his withdrawal as well. I was campaigning for him at a pro-life rally in San Francisco right up to the moment word came of his withdrawal.
LOL Thank you. I saw that on a placard at a KOA campground and thought it fit me to a “T”.
This is funny ...
Now when FRed endorses McCain the freeper head explosion will be complete...

Huckabee wants to change the Constitution in the name of religion. That’s unnecessary. Huckabee plays the “I’m more Christian than they are” game. That’s disingenous of him.
BINGO!.. Finally some truth :)
Again, DH is not like or ever close to FT. Call it whatever you will - Communist, socialist :) - Whatever, I would like to see someone is NOT SO WILLING TO SELL OUT OUR COUNTRY as the 'globalistas' seem to want to do... And Duncan mentioned that several times.
Protectionist?... hmmm.... I don't know....no.... I want free trade but FAIR TRADE! :)
Get my drift? whoever tried linking DUNCAN adn THOMSOM, were simply hoping to get the 'social-conservatives' vote... but NAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.... Not really :)
“Well that explains alot about Mr. 1%.”
Yes, doesn’t it. I may throw up. Hunter was the “best man in the race”, huh? Dropped out while votes were being counted in S.C., instead of before when he should have. Fred wasn’t murdered all the way yet, so waited until he was gone. Then endorses Huckaboob. The Best man in the race from the start was Fred, and no matter who he endorses, if anyone, including McCrazy, he still was.
Congressmen don’t become presidential candidates, I think
I’ve seen that pretty well covered here. Tanc was in it to force his one issue to the forefront, which he did well, and quit when he should have. Hunter was in it ....... why????? Because he can’t run for congress any more in his own state? WHY??
It looks like Mr. Hunter did his homework and discovered that Mr. Huckabee isn’t the liberal that the mainstream and the elites have made him out to be.
So, which is more likely? Either after 20+ years as a true conservative, Duncan Hunter became a moron and fell hook, line and sinker for a liberal Arkansas knuckle dragger. Or... Mr. Hunter looked past all the crap and half-truths being told about Gov. Huckabee and found him to be a solid conservative.
Duncan Hunter has proven himself to be too smart to fall for a fake conservative. All of you owe it to yourselves to give Mike Huckabee another look.
Huckabee plays the “I’m more Christian than they are” game. That’s disingenuous of him.
My apologies FRiend... there’s a firefight going on ‘round here... sorry for the friendly fire.

You trust McCain? You’ve got to be kidding me....
The GOP is losing my respect by the truckload.
Against the UN too! I am liking him more. Wish Hunter had endorsed him instead of Huckabum. I am sick.
Yeah. He reminds me of Bill Clinton.
So who do you support? Or are you exclusively anti-Huckabee?
