Tom Tancredo had the better record of the two, but Duncan Hunter trails only a little on the NumbersUSA report card of all the candidates regarding illegal immigration. This is their sole fight(illegals) and how it effects the American citizens. Take a look at his site Duncan HunterforPresident2008 and read his core values and look at" why you should vote for him". Don't be fooled by the polls and the "vote for the electable", the word is getting out in the media that Americans are not happy with the popular candidates and there may not be a concenses for any of them, even at the convention! It's going to be your vote!!!the "little guy" if you don't fall for the eliet bate. Go read, go vote for the real conservative if you truly believe in "We the People" I personally will not have these 4 or 5 men that they definately want! They know they can get their liberal plans through, first being no more borders(Mexico&Canada)amnesty, no matter what they say(remember a pres. veto can be over ridden!) Who will have the majority?,House & Senate,Liberal Supreme Court Justices disguised as Moderates, European law regarding eminate domain and on and on. This election may be the last time you can defend and preserve the Constitution Katrina, Stated it well!!!

You are experiencing what we will all be experiencing if we don't get the right person in the office of President - Duncan Hunter is the only one in the running who has shown that he truly knows what the threat of open borders is doing to our once free country and has acted upon it.

This is obvious by the candidates running under the Republican ticket. Most true conservative Republicans do not support President Bush or the liberals trying to win the Republican nomination. The only true conservative left running for the Presidential nomination from either party is Duncan Hunter. (Note: True conservative meaning that his positions on issues have always been conservative and not changed). For those of you who have not heard of Hunter, do your homework. How can you be supporting one candidate without knowing who else is running against them or where they stand on the issues? I have looked at every candidate running for President, both Republican and Democrat, and can tell you the only true conservatives are Hunter and Tancredo (who has dropped out of the race). For you Ron Paul supporters, yes he is conservative on some issues but not all. He is a true Libertarian on all issues and not a Republican. I hope Hunter stays in the race for the long run. He has large support in other states, like my home state Texas where he won the straw poll. States with a large number of delegates. This country needs a conservative leader like Duncan Hunter.

It's not about how much, but if everyone who says they like him/supports him sends even $5. from every blog I've been reading he'll be in a good cash flow to get out the ad's and campaign.

Then when I went to his website ( http://www.gohunter08.com/ ) and what I read and heard was very uplifting and sincerely motivating. The man is the real article and Honorable man in his marriage, military service as an Army Ranger in Vietnam, as a Congressman and even now as a candidate he is taking the high road, staying true and bending none of his principles to appease one group or another.

Oh while you're checking facts why don't you check the Executive orders made by Carter, Bush senior, Clinton, GW Bush, you'll be surprised to know it's all about to be taken away anyway. With Marxist professors why should anyone be surprised how our younger generations think, and to think we paid for their brainwashing! What a scarey future...with comments like Brian's "if we knew him better we might see he's a good candidate", you would think an intelligent person would check the facts regarding ALL candidates in a presidential election!

He recieves very little air time, why? I had to find him myself on the web. I did catch the first couple of debates that he WAS in and I agreed with everything he said. I could actually sense that he was speaking the truth, and put things into a reality check. I would appreciate a NEWS STATION to provide me and you with true, real, news! I don't care to be shocked or suprised with tabloids or media hype. The NEWS should have journalists not the poporatzi. My vote also goes to Duncan Hunter as my first choice, Fred Thompson my second! I believe that these two would be strong leaders for our country, especially in these times. As for the media, they get an F in my grade book! I hope that they plan on bringing that grade up!!!

It is far too lengthy to post, but it says he became successful in construction after the war This part of it will tell you what kind of stock Congressman Duncan Hunter comes from: His patriotic senses, however, were troubled by the direction of the nation, which he felt was acquiescing to Communist aggression in Korea and China. Packing the Hunters up, R.O. moved the family to Washington, D.C. There, he walked into the headquarters of the Republican Party and announced, "I'm Bob Hunter and I'm going to give you a year of my life and we are going to turn America around." The Party Director, Ab Herman, asked R.O. to return next week. Later, he confessed to Bob that he had "checked up on him." "In Washington, nobody just walks in and volunteers to serve the country without pay and with no angle," Mr. Herman told Bob. Bob Hunter, however, did just that. Working with Mr. Herman and his friend, Congressman Pat Hillings of California, Hunter put together a television studio and hosted Republican members of Congress who wished to make weekly T.V. reports for their districts. Hunter's patriotic ethic of serving America beyond the call of duty was displayed regularly for the ensuing 50 years, in which he served as a candidate for U.S. Congress, Republican Central Committee Chairman, Local Chairman for Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater and as a volunteer and contributor for dozens of campaigns.

A person being just different does not bring a change. That itself constitutes recognition of differences due to colour, gender etc. etc. The appointment of current president was also done on the recognition that he could be related to common people. If we need that then we might as well ignore, qualifications, experience, and past records in the appointment of any government position. I do not think Obama has the experience or past achievements that Hillary possesses. If people think that it is high time that we appoint an African-American, then it is also the high time that we appoint a woman as the president. That should not be the deciding factor when you vote for a president. Experienced people would know that howevermuch you tried, you can't please everybody, and you can't bring everyone together. Only a naive, inexperienced person would dream a utopia of that nature. An experienced person would say the things as it is, since that person knows the true difficulties that await ahead. But the problem is that the majority of people love to hear someone attempting to bring these impossiblities. The president should be capable of many things. The most important one is the ability to sail forward against adversity. Only the experience, past achievements hone the ability of a person to tackle problems of a country. That president should be someone other countries can recognize as a powerful leader. I believe that Hillary is the best in this regard. Obama is the best as the vice president so that he will get an opportunity to gain more experience. By not letting Hillary win this election, American people will do a huge mistake for the second time.

Duncan Hunter is the liberal media's worst nightmare. Most of my colleagues are liberal, and they want their candidates to win, just like you want yours to win. If there is anyone close to being another Ronald Reagan, this is the guy, and my media friends would rather not take that risk in the general election, thank you! These other guys are seen as easy to beat. 2. Today's programming choices are based on what makes "good TV." Duncan Hunter has no controversial background to uncover. No dirt. No flip-flops. Consistently conservative voting record on all the issues. The other boys all have something to hide which makes them "interesting", i.e., Good TV. It's quite simple, but it sure isn't good for America. Don't give up. Boycotts are effective, esp. boycotting the sponsors (and be sure to TELL the sponsor why). Support the shows that are fair, and write complaint letters about the ones that aren't. Each letter you write counts for many thousands of viewers' opinions. And then quit watching them, so their ratings go down. In the meantime, good luck to your candidates that got axed for the sake of Good TV over the welfare of our country. Duncan Hunter, from what I've learned, is a true statesman in every sense of the word. Many Americans haven't recognized him yet, because they've never seen one before. If he stays in, I think they will. There were 3 reasons for shutting the candidates out of the debates:

1. Duncan Hunter is the liberal media's worst nightmare. Most of my colleagues are liberal, and they want their candidates to win, just like you want yours to win. If there is anyone close to being another Ronald Reagan, this is the guy, and my media friends would rather not take that risk in the general election, thank you! These other guys are seen as easy to beat.

C'mon, man - the point being what? Save your dignity and withdraw now. Thank everyone who supported you (shouldn't take long), say something positive about America's future, and exit with grace.

The complaining will be the result of not educating themselves on the candidates, their records, what they have accomplished and what their voting records are. Loose several million more manufacturing jobs. Reduce our military another 25-30%. Amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens and the stress created for the middle class. A few more 'free trade" agreements will take us down several more notches. Vote for the above and it's a vote for the CFR. There will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. The liberals will be praying for a conservative like Duncan Hunter. They will beg for a patriot American like Duncan Hunter. If the American people can take their eyes off MSM, sports and other drivel, listen to Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and a few other journalistists with a degree of integrity, our children and grandchildren might have a chance of achieving the American dream. Go Duncan. He's won the Texas straw poll, not to mention Arizona which is on the verge of becoming part of a third world country. Hang in there Duncan. We need you and your sons.
