I can summarize for you. The abuses were committed by hundreds of Members of Congress. Most were Democrats, some were Republicans (including Duncan Hunter). the system was set up by Democrats. It was exposed by Newt Gingrich.
I don't know. What does that have to do with Duncan Hunter?
He also has no shot at the nomination, let alone the Presidency (IMHO).
Hey a joke, that's more like it, LOL! Evening! Look up 'scum of the earth' and fast Eddies picture will show up!
None I believe... and that's the point. It is a none sequiter thrown out to obfuscate and discourage.
THE LAST TIME A SITTING CONGRESSMAN GOT THE GOP NOMINATION--

Auto manufacturers? Surely you jest. Have you seen the amount of outsourcing auto makers are using these days? Tell you what though, save this thread in your browser, and come late 2008 we'll talk about who's predictions are worthless.
yes I will...later...i gotta sneak outa the office
May I steal that for my tagline?:)
My pleasure. My vanity requires me to ask butnot insist that you put a credit on your freep home page.
I am a free trade advocate and a moderate when it comes to abortion, but HUNTER CAN WIN so I will back him. His trade stance will win enough swing votes among lower paid workers and union guys to defeat the dims. His stand on immigration and the fence will win votes among blacks and others hurt by the illegals. Winning requires compromise; I never get everything I want in a candidate. BTW, how many of you knew W two years before the 2000 election?
"Auto manufacturers AND their workers will agree on supporting Dunc Hunter."
Socialist?
We're talking federal politics right? Washington D.C. could be an empty swamp tommorow and I wouldn't flinch. I doubt most of the country would notice either, until pay day came around and they suddenly had a huge raise.
At the local level? No - I don't think its possible for all forms of government to dissapear.
If a politician seeks to use a public office so as to expand the power and influence of the federal government against 1) state and local laws, 2) private property (business), or 3) citizens' free-will - they are a tyrant to me and NO friend of the Republican party, regardless of how many votes they bring.
Most good tyrants hide behind religion. Very few have conquered under the banner of atheism, that is a recent 20th century phenomenon that seems to blind some Americans to the other 95% of recorded history..
What are you 19 maybe 20. Grow up!
Dear wireman,
The skepticism applied to Mr. Hunter because he has served only as a US Representative doesn't seem to be applied to the person often thought to be the current front-runner, Mr. Giuliani.
I don't think that anyone has ever been elected to the presidency who has only held the office of mayor previously. Yet, this isn't seen as a major hurdle for Mr. Giuliani.
Sitting senators rarely are elected president, yet this isn't much mentioned with Mrs. Clinton, or Mr. McCain.
I'm sure that given a little while, I could think up other combinations of characteristics that could describe people that have never been found in anyone previously elected president.
Thus, the whole "Congressmen almost never are elected to the presidency" thing seems a little spurious to me.

"Right, cause young women Christians can't make up their minds on their own? There. All better. Go back to DU where those opinions belong. Knee-jerk and intolerant.... yup, must be a Christian!!!
Thank you for projecting. You've made my point better than I every could."
PS To The Blitherer
As southern gentleman, I am glad to challenge the idiots to a duel for you.
kind of off the point, What if hillary wins the nomination and out of the blue Obama runs independent, what do you think?
