If you’re wondering why I had guest bloggers for the last couple of days, it was because my time with the Duncan Hunter campaign was winding down and I wanted to take a little extra time to get the loose……

While I’ve been consulting for Duncan Hunter, he has done more interviews/guest blogs/& columns in the blogosphere than any other candidate and I thought you might enjoy seeing a little rundown of some of what Duncan has done with the……

Like several above, I have extreme doubts about transfering Gitmo detainees to Leavenworth. It would be a HUGE can of worms on many fronts. No, leave them where they are. Congressman Hunter says some interesting things in the right way. Time will tell.

Why not ship them to Cindy Sheehan’s, Barbara Streisand’s, Rosie O’Donnel’s, Arianna Huffington’s, and the homes of a few others who care about them?

The inmates will be well fed, well housed, and well loved, which is all one can ask, and those who are so caring can show their love.

They can show the inmates the Caribbean Sea and tell them to start swimming.

Have find finding dry land, fellas!

Shark bait!

Congressman Duncan Hunter is doing better than some folks would suspect. Even in his own party, he pulled 3rd in the latest straw poll. If he does not win his party’s nomination he would do well to run as an Independent.
Hot Air caught him fo…

I feel it is very important that he stay in the race, join the debates, and let his voice be heard on the National stage.

Duncan, I stopped contributing to the Republican Party when it was clear the RINO’s weren’t going to let us secure the border.

My wallet is open now, I know you will spend it wisely…..

No Surprise, the issues mentioned – national security, control over our borders and immigration, and keeping jobs here in the United States are basic to protecting the interests of the citizens. Perhaps some politicians really are listening.

Great story about his father and his son. Did he even bother to mention that he himself served honorably in Viet Nam?

Excerpt – (personal story that ended the speech)

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if we walked all the way across this great country in this great, wonderful morning, in just a short period of time the sun’s going to be coming up 3,000 miles away at another cemetery — another national cemetery, and that’s Rosecrans National Cemetery in my home town of San Diego. And Rosecrans stands guard over that great harbor where so many people have come back from America’s wars.

And in 1945, a young Marine returning home from the South Pacific to San Diego wrote these works: “I think that just to be able to live with your wife and family, to be able to take care of them every day is the great privilege a person can enjoy.”

Well, 61 years later another Marine returned to San Diego from a place called Fallujah, and he wrote: “At some point in a dangerous environment you forget about your own safety and you try to keep your men safe and place your own life in the hands of God. But your family, your wife and kids never leave your mind. Families lift our country up. They support us with fidelity, morality, faith in God, and raising the next generation of Americans.”

Ladies and gentlemen, the first gentleman that I mentioned, the first Marine, was my father, to whom I owe everything I am or ever will be. And the second was my son, Duncan Hunter. (Applause)

Those letters, 60 years apart, reflect the truth of America. God still loves this nation. We are still a people of character and strength and kindness. And so with faith in God, with confidence in the goodness of the American people, let’s win this race for the United States presidency.

Thank you, and God bless you. (Applause)

Hot Air’s Bryan Preston caught up with Duncan Hunter at CPAC…….

I’d guess somewhere closer to 10 seconds.

My guess is one week. Although the initial argument might be that American prisons aren’t properly set up to accomodate the jihadists (lack of proper prayer facilities, meals, recruiting rooms, bomb-making materials, etc.)

Clinton and Obama do not have the Moral Authority to send our men to fight in any conflict. Hunter’s son has already served in Iraq. Whether you like this kind of argument or not, just realize that the Democrats were the ones who set the groundwork for this argument and they are setting themselves up to be hoisted by their own petard.

Hunter’s positions on illegal immigration and jobs are the kind of positions that will bring him the non-affiliated vote. The anti-protectionists’ argument that we should bring all of the world’s poor and uneducated people to the US to drive down the wages of its citizen workers is a losing argument at the ballot box.

Never trust what they say, always go examine how they have voted in the past. If people would only do that then they would be able to cut through all of the smoke and mirrors.

I’d like to see him on a ticket.
