They talk about the border issue relative to the primary race.

That's just about why it is so difficult to support Hunter. He falls into the trap, left and right, of portraying himself as a narrowly defined candidate.

What about the 1,000 other presidential issues?

What is his plan for burdgeoning health care costs?

What is his view of IRS limitations of church activities?

Pick your questions....

Since there is not a Republican candidate running for office that doesn't think that the WOT is the number one priority of the Presidency, that will go without saying. (except for Paul). With that said, now I can say that this election will come down to two main categories, Immigration and Taxes. Hunter's record on both are outstanding.

As far as the "1000" other issues? Irrelevant. First, I don't want the President doing ANYTHING about healthcare costs except for government getting out of the way. Hunter has consistently stood for smaller government in those types of issues. Secondly, as a Born Again, Evangelical, Fundemental Bible Believing Baptist, where do you THINK he stands on the IRS and church issues? I guess he should have thrown Christ-like humility out the window and pandered to the Christian Right by starting Theological debates while campaigning, just to get some press attention.

It seems nowadays that the only way to get noticed in this superficial world is to have some sort of controversy. If only Duncan had not been married faithfully to the same woman all these years. If only he had someone in his immediate family out picketing against the war, or for the Homo-sexual agenda, or for abortion. If only he would get caught in an airport bathroom. But there's nothing. No salacious background or identity. While all the wanna-bees are out there with their campaign staff trying to come up with some way to 'exploit' their candidate, Duncan Hunter sticks to the issues, fighting to protect our borders, speaking out for Ramos and Compeon, and the only one speaking out on the plans of the last country of the 'Axis of Evil' to hurt America.

True Conservatism Wins Every Time.

Vote for Hunter

I somewhat agree that there’s a bit of a pitfall there. Knowing that he will get limited exposure, he tries to hit a few points well, particularly some issues that our next President will urgently have to face if he’s going to take care of this country. Borders and immigration are a hot topic lately, so he goes ahead and hits his home-run on that each chance he gets. I would like to hear him give longer, in-depth interviews, but it’s easy to find with a little research that he is rock-solid on social issues, tax issues, role-of-government issues, etc. He has, during this campaign, expressed his support for the Fair Tax, for which he has co-signed a bill. I haven’t found another candidate who is even ‘satisfactory’ on all the various things that I care about, while Hunter is excellent on all of them, so I only have one choice about whom to support. And as far as the horse race goes, I can only put my faith in fellow Republicans to outsmart the media brainwash and go ahead and vote for what they believe in.
