Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has come under fire from constituents for accepting nearly a quarter million dollars in campaign contributions from missile defense contractors over the past five years. Hunter has also drawn criticism for accepting $46,000 from un-indicted co-conspirators implicated in bribing Hunters friend and San Diego colleague, Randy Duke Cunningham, who resigned from Congress after pleading guilty.

Duke sold out the troops to line his own pockets. No honorable man can possibly take money from someone associated with that scandal.
What was Hunter's rationale for not returning the money?
