Free Republic

Attention Hunter fans! He is on CSPAN for the next hour!

The ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee asked the White House Friday to withdraw its $500 million request for aid to Mexico as part of the new Merida Initiative to fight drug-trafficking into the U.S. California Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), who chaired Armed Services for years under Republican rule, said Congress should first debate and authorize the multiyear commitment which has been a top priority for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The House Foreign Affairs Committee is scheduled to mark up an authorization bill next Wednesday. But mindful that its own power is running out, the Bush administration...

The South Carolina Republican Party and FOX News Channel have determined in their infinite wisdom (and audacity) WHICH candidates the voters of South Carolina will hear tonight! FOX already pulled this stunt in New Hampshire last Saturday night. For those of us who were really interested in hearing Congressman Duncan Hunter's viewpoints in contrast to the other candidates - TOUGH LUCK. My blood is boiling. As a brand new citizen who voted for the first time ever in the NH Primary on Jan. 8th, I believe it's WAY TOO EARLY in the race for the media to eliminate serious candidates...

In a strange, Spanish only broadcast, it was only until the English transcripts came out that many of us out here could see what a great man does in a potentially hostile venue--he stands on principle and tells the truth.

Let's face it. Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter are the only candidates suitable for the oval office, and they are being sabotaged by absolutely everyone in the media. It’s more than strange. I would think a media wide gag order forbidding the mention of Thompson or Hunter, or a similar order to repeatedly describe second-place Thompson’s campaign as “toast,” are simply not in the realm of possibility. But it’s about the only explanation in the natural world that fits. The boycott exists across the board. Of course, we expect this sort of behavior from the liberals. And for people like...

A Naval veteran who co-founded the group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" says he will do whatever he can to help Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) become the next president of the United States.

Here's what I like most about Congressman Duncan Hunter: Tom Tancredo has had kind words for him, and Hunter talks in depth about three key issues which should be central to the current political debate. 1) Fighting the war on terror: Our national intelligence and defense communities must be provided with the tools necessary to identify, track, stop and prosecute terrorists before they have the opportunity to strike. The fact that America has not been attacked since September 11th indicates to me that we are on the right course. I am confident we can remain on that course by providing...

Big news to all supporters of Duncan Hunter; we have a big announcement. Duncan Hunter's son, Sam Hunter, has been in contact with Freeper Kevmo and has agreed to be the ambassador of the Hunter campaign to Free Republic. Let's give Mr. Hunter a warm welcome! His FR username is "Duncan Hunter Ambassador". Let's make it feel like home for him! If you have any questions, just ask us.

Greetings. This is just going to be a simple thread. Granted, there's been a lot of vitriol on both sides of the Giuliani/Hunter divide, and those who are undecided (or voting for someone else) are probably wondering about the rage. Well, let's examine this situation a bit. First of all, Rudy Giuliani. He certainly cleaned up New York City; no doubt about that. His fiscal policies certainly seem conservative compared to the rest of New York City (despite that fact New York City and its home state are home to some of the highest taxes in the US; I wonder...

Republican Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter (R-CA) received an internet today when the results of an internet poll were announced.  The poll, administered by Rightwingnews.com, placed Hunter near the top in overall favorability, and near the bottom in un-favorability among conservative bloggers. A total of 230 right-of-center bloggers were asked to rank their most and least favorable candidates.  Hunter was second in over popularity with a net score of 32, outranked only by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's score of 38.5.  Gingrich has yet to announce his intentions in the race.  According to Right Wing News spokesman John Hawkins,...

Take note, presidential prognosticators: Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R) may have earned a rousing reception at the California GOP convention last weekend, but Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) has more public supporters in Congress.And while Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) plans to refrain from an endorsement until her party chooses a nominee, one Democratic candidate quietly has lined up not one but two backers in the House leadership - Sen. Chris Dodd (Conn.). The most wide-open presidential rivalry in modern times is sparking fierce competition for congressional backing, with nearly 100 lawmakers declaring their 2008 allegiances before the first...

From the desk of Gen. Chuck Yeager: November 20, 2006 To my Fellow Americans, Congressman Duncan Hunter is the best candidate for President of the United States of America that I know - he has integrity, tenacity, courage, and diplomacy. He is intelligent and thoughtful, does his research, and acts on it. I have known Congressman Duncan Hunter for over 35 years. Duncan served his country in the Army and is a Vietnam vet. In Vietnam, he served in one of the most dangerous outfits - the 173rd Airborne Brigade and the 75th Army Rangers.... Chuck Yeager
