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:

Hello Duncan from South Orange County, CA. It is great for us that you are here today.
Question: What is your position on the 1,300 earmarks that were included in the recent Defense Appropriations Bill?

That LOST treaty is scarry, and I don’t understand why VP Cheney and Condi Rice support it. Do they want us to be under the thumb of the U.N. and pay taxes to the U.N., as well?
Yeah, Libertina. I think I lost my Hunter cap so its time to get a new one!
Well if you support the SPP, then Lost isn’t a big stretch is it?
Makes me sick.
and the consequent bannings/suspensions wouldn't be surprising...at least to me.
Great job getting the DH on FR!
So, is he going to be a regular FReeper from now on...?
He definitely has my vote. He’s down to earth, honest and his positions on everything reflect a true conservative viewpoint.
No, he’s too busy. But he will come back for round two (and three?).
After spending an hour plus on the phone with him today, I can honestly vouch for that. :o)
I will call tomorrow.WDUN-550 am.The Martha zoller show.I have told her before.Maybe we can get DH on. I think she would like that.The number to the station is 770 535 2911. 9 to 12 est. Give her a call as well.
Mr. Hunter, I am sincerely impressed with you and your responses to the questions posed.
Thank you, pissant, for all of your efforts. You are an asset to Duncan Hunter’s campaign. Also, thank you to Mr. Robinson for allowing the use of his forum at this time. I’m sure other forums across cyberspace would benefit from a cyber-chat with Mr. Hunter, as well as the rest of the candidates.
God bless you and your family, Mr. Hunter.
pissant, thanks for all your work on this. Couldn’t pull over long enough to catch this live, but have loved reading everything.
Jim, a big thanks for providing the forum for pissant to pull this off!!!!
Mr. Hunter, I am proud to call myself a supporter of yours. PLEASE continue the fight.

If you can find some time, would you consider coming back and doing another virtual press Conference here again?
great job!
