Duncan did awesome as usual, even with that Blitzer idiot interrupting him. There's A LOT more at the link.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I would like to see a debate between Thompson and Hunter. Not that I want them to be enemies (I am hoping they are on the same side), but I would like to examine the differences between them.

[cripplecreek]

Hunter is a man who says what he really believes. The rest of the top tier say what they think we want to hear.

[JoanneSD]

Mr. Hunter needs to call a press conference every chance he can, and get his opposition to this illegal forgiveness bill, and point out where Jorge is wrong.. every chance he can get, We need Duncan for President...

[Old_Mil]

Just read the transcript of the interview...Hunter did spectacularly well, even in the face of a hostile interviewer on a hostile TV network.

Wolf, that's nothing. And Mr. Chertoff needs to answer a question. He was given a law on October 26 of last year, seven months ago, a mandate by the president of the United States and the U.S. Congress, both houses voting in overwhelming fashion, to build 854 miles of border fence.

And if you ask him today how much he's built, he's built precisely 13 miles of one layer of a double fence, meaning it's going to take him 40 years, at that rate, to build the border face.

Mr. Chertoff is charged with securing the border. And the one thing he's not doing -- he's appearing on lots of talk shows. He is not securing the border.

We need to secure that border. And let me tell you, Wolf. There's no reason not to do it. You just did a major special on the terrorist acts that are taking place around the world. We've got a 2,000-mile open border. And for some reason, this administration does not want to secure that border in a very simple way.

Got video?

Blitzer is a piece of work.

The president says this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Well, Sen. Cornyn says this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Well 63% of the people we polled think this is good. You wouldn't disagree would you? Oh. You would.
Say, how about we talk about the war ...

[johnny7]

BLITZER: What do you do with 12 million people? Can you deport them?

Geez' Wolfie... you sound stymied. Do you talk at all with Dobbs?

[pissant]

Hunter smacked all the questions out of the ballpark. Again.

"And if you ask him today how much he's built, he's built precisely 13 miles of one layer of a double fence, meaning it's going to take him 40 years, at that rate, to build the border face.

"Mr. Chertoff is charged with securing the border. And the one thing he's not doing -- he's appearing on lots of talk shows. He is not securing the border."

... just putting my tagline on the thread... please carry on...

[nckerr]

He did do a great job. But he just isn’t winnable against the Clinton machine. That is why I am with Fred. I do wish that Hunter would consider a VP run. Guliani and MCCain need to go ahead and withdraw soon and endorse a candidate with a chance. Same with Romney.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I like Duncan Hunter a lot!!

Unfortunately, it just seems like he is not getting any traction. I believe he is only at 1% in the polls. He needs to raise more money to get his message out. Unfortunately, until he rises in the polls, he won’t be able to raise much money. A catch 22

It’s a shame because I think he would be a lot like Teddy Roosevelt as president. (who just so happens to be my favorite former president) It’s interesting also that TR made some comments about the latest wave of immigration in his day. How he did not support illegal immigration and that the immigrants coming over had to learn to speak English and conform to being an American.

The three that I like best in the Republican field are Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson. I really hope that one of them gets the nod...

[marron]

Hunter is my first choice. He is the gold standard, by which I compare the other candidates.

I like Thompson, because he’s almost as good as Hunter. I like some of the others, because they occasionally sound almost like Hunter.

We are going to be electing a war-time president. We will be better served if we elect a warrior to that office. We have some good men running, several of whom would make good presidents, but for a war-president Hunter is the best of the batch.

[Recall]

Why do some people keep trying to say Fred Thompson is the conservatives choice. That’s baloney. He got a “C” grade on immigration. They like to scare you into thinking your personal favorite just can’t win.

I’m getting to old for these scare tactics. I like Duncan and Tancredo. One for President and one in charge of DHS. Maybe then I wouldn’t feel I have to keep C-Span on all day to see what the hell COngress is doing to us.

“HUNTER: Well, you know, Wolf, I think it’s terrible. I like the president. But I think it’s a terrible trade for the president of the United States or the Senate, which really has this amendment, to trade border security for amnesty.”

That’s EXACTLY what they’re doing, trading border security for amnesty. No WONDER the public doesn’t believe their silly bill. Where’s the fence? Where’s any kind of border security?
