“The rest of the world is America’s bitch”
While perusing the campaign websites of lesser-known 2008 presidential hopefuls, I ran across a video of Duncan Hunter touting America’s greatness to its critics.

| | Duncan Hunter a Definite Maybe | | 2007-11-12 01:34:00 | | Trying to choose a favorite in the Republican race for the presidential nomination brass ring has been an interesting experience. While the Democrat campaign has become so morbidly boring that you actually have to remind yourself to pay attention (or, more likely, force yourself to pay attention), the Party of Reagan has seen some interesting quirks thus far.The problem is that each new twist causes me to rethink who I will be cheering for to win it all. First was Rudy Giuliani. In fact it’s been Giuliani since September 12, 2001. Remember after the Towers came down, how even some lifelong Dems said they’d vote Republican if Rudy ran? Funny how memory fades and times change. At one time it was Rudy, hands-down. Now, I’m not so sure.Then it was the anticipation of having Ronald Reagan II, a.k.a. Sen. Fred Thompson, come out of the closet and finally announce his candidacy. The media-induced snowball effect of that story is now a thing of legend. Day after week after month saw every cable news show and political round-table eagerly predicting ‘will he?’ or ‘won’t he?’ or ‘when will he?’Ever since finally stating the obvious on the Tonight Show, the buzz has disappeared. The build-up far surpassed the real event, and the Thompson campaign has reached a plateau. In entertainment terms, his announcement to run was the exact moment his campaign ‘jumped the shark’. My confidence in supporting Thompson hasn’t completely disappeared, but it’s most certainly shaken. This brings us to my current study: Rep. Duncan Hunter. Of all the candidates on my list for consideration, he has proven to be the most difficult to decide on. While I am fully in agreement with Rep. Hunter’s views on issues such as the War on Terror, support for Israel, Border enforcement, and America’s job drain to China, his views on the social issues prevent me from immediately committing to him. As well, his resistance to a proposed ‘NAFTA Super highway’ with Canada and Me... | | By: The Moderate Separatist | | |
| | The '08 Hopefuls, Part 4: Duncan Hunter | | 2007-06-28 20:23:00 | | The '08 Hopefuls continues now with Duncan Hunter, the congressman from California's 52nd district.NO DOUBT A CONSERVATIVEYou know what America? I actually like Duncan Hunter and the policies he advocates, except for a select few. The first impression one gets of him is that he is a bit arrogant, but that is quickly replaced with the realization that he is a strong, traditional conservative. While this is true, Hunter doesn't seem or come off like a champion of the people, but instead as a politician brainwashed by Washington.NOT A LEADERSadly, Hunter doesn't seem capable of being President of the United States because he's far more congressional than he is Presidential. He lacks the drive, or "fire in the belly," which is needed for a nominee and therefore for a President. Don't get me wrong - he's a smart congressman - but down the road lost, or never got in the first place, the skills and qualities needed to be President.EXPERIENCE... SORTACongressman Hunter has spent a quarter of a century in the House, apparently doing his district good, as he's been re-elected 12 times. Although he has valiantly served California's 52nd District and the American People, I think that being in the House is just too different from being President. I am very reluctant to think this man would make a good president simply because he's only served in the house and has never aimed higher, save for now.The '08 Hopefuls, Part 5: Joe Biden is set to be released July 1st, but due to scheduling conflicts may be delayed until the 2nd.... | | By: Washington in the Spotlight | | |

| Candidate Profiles: Duncan Hunter | | 2007-05-14 22:16:00 | | BACKGROUND California Republican Duncan Hunter is attempting to make the rare transition from the House of Representatives to the White House. With minimal name recognition, money, media attention, and low standing in most polls, Hunter is among many long shots in the Republican field.Hunter served in US Army in the Vietnam War from 1969-1971 before returning home and earning his law degree. In 1980, he mounted a successful bid to upset of Democrat Lionel Van Deerlin, aided by a strong national performance by presidential candidate Ronald Reagan. Hunter has represented what is now California's 52nd District, covering parts of San Diego, ever since. He served as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and has been one of the body's more conservative members during his tenure. Hunter has announced that he will retire from Congress upon the completion of his current term.Born in Riverside, California, in 1948, Hunter married Lynne Layh in 1973. Together, they have two sons, one o... | | By: Political Realm | | |
