This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:
"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base."
"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.
Which terrible candidate do you think Hunter should have endorsed instead?
Same as me...none of the above.
Would he have given us an analogous surprise as president were he elected?
I cannot wait to watch this thread explode.
First the minutemen and now Hunter.
It’s time for a reality check paleocons. Fred’s out. Hunter’s endorsing Huck.
This is going to leave a mark.
LMAO, priceless!
i had to double check this wasn’t satire or something. I can’t believe this.
So, it turns out that Mr. Hunter isn’t a real conservative after all.
few heads explode
NOT my head..I am not surprised. Now I know why I supported Duncan Hunter way back...
“Hunter is strongly pro-life and Huckabee is also strongly pro-life. Hunter is very worried about China - Huckabee is the only remaining candidate who seems to share any of his concerns about China.”
Bull.
Only Paul will end our addiction to debt.
Then we would stop funding our debt by selling it to China.
China is buying us - with our own stupid greed for gubmint handouts.
I think I'd be ok with that ticket. I was with Hunter from the start and had high hopes for Fred. At this point Huckabee actually looks good in comparison to the rest of the sorry crowd - and that's really saying something.
Guess I'll have to duck now, huh? :)

WTF? I want my money back Duncan.
I’ll be voting for Romney if and only if he doesn’t choose either Huckabee or McCain for VP.
Did Duncan Hunter just put Huckabee under the microscope?
I am shocked at this actually.
It doesn’t make sense at all.
Better that he didn’t endorse anyone.
Well, he better have a second choice.
Huskster is broke.
Screw that!
“everyone has to pick the parts of the conservative message that are most dear to them.”
That’s how I’m seeing it. My big issues at present are winning the war, pro-life, fiscal responsibility, pro-gun rights.
#1 is winning the war. Who do I think would be best sitting across from Achmadidnahjubbawhatever? McCain or Rudy. I really trust them on this issue. No matter where they stand or what they do in any other arena, I totally trust them as commander in chief.
#2 is pro-life. So far, McCain is the only candidate who hits 1 and 2.
Yet, the tidal wave of opinion on FR seems to be that McCain is a bad guy. Rush doesn’t like him. So I don’t know what to do.
Huckabee, I just can’t see him on the world stage dealing with Putin and Kim Jong Mentally Ill. Also he is a big tax and spender.
Romney, he might hold his own on the world stage, but he doesn’t seem to be top tier to me. I wonder about his conversion to pro-life and pro-gun issues. I do think he’d be decent on running things. I am afraid of social programs.
COME BACK FRED
We need to start randomly drug testing everyone on the government payroll...All Senators, Congress, and those that occupy the Oval Office...Do it often.
Ping. Nothing to say. You guys are saying it all.
I blame others who are not as smart as I to be able to clearly see who is the best candidate.
Pick the wrong week to give up pills...
