10. Although Duncan Hunter’s name is nearly synonymous with the Border Fence on the US-Mexico border (at least the part of the REAL fence that is working), he should also be known for his stances on abolishing the ‘anchor baby’ laws, beefing up the numbers of Border Patrol officers, scuttling all benefits to illegal aliens, snuffing out the notion of “sanctuary cities”, and, most importantly, standing firm on his position that illegal aliens must be deported. It is the same position he came to Congress with in 1980. It has not changed. When asked during his 2008 presidential primary run...

DH: Hey, Jim. AJM: hey, that sounds a lot better. What are you doing back in DC? You finally got an appointment with your son? DH: No. Next week, but I’m waiting for him (laughs). No , I’m back here, I’m heading up, kind of the chairman of the Armed Forces Foundation. We had a big fundraiser. That’s the group that helps a lot of our wounded guys. AJM: That’s fantastic. What’s the name of the organization again? DH: The Armed Forces Foundation. AJM: The Armed Forces Foundation - So it’s like the Wounded Warrior Project? DH: Exactly, they give...

I have racked my brain to try to figure out who else should be included on the list of figures that conservatives should support and encourage to run for the 2012 GOP nomination. Pawlenty? Milquetoast Mitt? RomneyCare flipflopper Barbour? Sabotaged eminent domain reform Jindal? Needs to start shaving first. Huck? playing his cards right, but can he be trusted? Newt? Sybil Perry? Mandatory vaccinations, anyone? Sanford? Stepped on his John Thomas However, if Palin, Hunter, DeMint and Pence were to be the choices, then we will have forced the GOP beyond the RINOfest that was 2008, which resulted in the...

The electorate voted for change yesterday. Now we will see what kind of change they will get. We will also see that with change comes opportunity. First, a mea culpa. I have been blogging away about how how the voters, given the choices they had, should have chosen John McCain as the nation's 44th president. They obviously had other ideas. Most voters were aware of how deep in the tank for Obama was the country's media and how far off were some of the polls. They voted for Obama anyway. They either didn't perceive the arrogance of Obama's campaign and...

Republican Duncan D. Hunter is on a path to succeed his father as the representative in East County's 52nd Congressional District, according to early returns. In the county's other close House contest, Republican Brian Bilbray appears to be holding off Democratic challenger Nick Leibham, who ran a well-funded and spirited campaign in the largely North County 50th district. Voters appear to be returning the county's other three representatives to office. They are Democrat Susan Davis, whose 53rd district is concentrated in San Diego; Democrat Bob Filner of the 51st, which takes in South Bay and Imperial County; and Republican Darrell...

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