I live here in the real world, in San Diego with the largest concentration of military also sitting around 18 miles north from the largest and busiest border crossing in the world
To many folks on FR in their small towns in low populated states in no mans land don’t have a clue what is going on.
I don’t give a rats ass about the economy and am sure those jumping from the WTC on 9/11 didn’t either.
If we don’t win, nothing matters.
Hunter is the only candidate that has the longest and most extensive background in military and national security.
as ranking member of the armed services comm.
Also knows it first hand as a Viet nam war vet and his son has done 3 tours in the current war.
Hunter’s military record is impeccable and without comparison.
Which is why he’ll make a great Secretary of Defense for Fred Thompson.

AAHHH Californians. Gotta love 'em.
The economy pays the war's bills.
Unfettered economies are the most prolific.
BigGov fetters too much, and BigGov spending fetters all taxpayers.
The war, which you cite as absolving several government excesses, is ostensibly about preserving the American way of life and its existence.
America's identity is its liberties (freedom of religion being one of many).
I am not willing let the Isloma-fascists take our liberties away with one attack, and I do give a rat's behind about the economy.
In WWII, the USA sent Japanese Americans to internment camps. In 2007, we shouldn't make all of America into an internment camp to fight "the war." We shouldn't give away to the FedGov the rights we're supposedly fighting to protect. We should fight threats to life, liberty, and property at home as well as abroad. They are not mutually exclusive.
Ducan spends too much of other peoples' money.
