DUNCAN HUNTER FOR PRESIDENT

I have been watching the candidates running for President on both sides. I have researched their
stances on the issues. I have listened to what they say and compared it to what they have done. I have
watched the debates. I have watched and listened to interviews. I have read many political forums
discussing the race. I have read the candidates' websites. I have talked with people in most of the
candidates' districts. In other words, I am not taking my endorsement lightly.

It is with pride and honor that I throw my support behind Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) in his bid to
receive the Republican nomination for President of the United States. If you look at Rep. Hunter's
voting record and what he is saying now, you can believe what he says. His record is clearly the most
conservative of any of the candidates running. He says what he means and means what he says and he
is a man who gets things done. As I have been doing my research, the only criticism I have heard about
Rep. Hunter is that he lacks charisma and because of this he will not get the nomination. Every other
candidate running on the Republican side has had their conservative credentials questioned in one way
or another. I have not heard anyone questioning Rep. Hunter's conservatism. The overwhelming
majority of the conservatives I know living in his district are supporting his candidacy. He is strong on
border issues. He is strong on social issues. He is strong on the war on terror and other national
defense issues. He is strong on tax and other economic issues.

I was talking with a friend and told him that I was going to endorse Duncan Hunter and his response
was, "Why? Yes, he is probably the most conservative candidate but he has no chance of getting the
nomination." The name of this website is "ProudConservative.com." It is not "ProudRepublican.com."
I am going to support the candidate that I believe best represents my conservative views. This person
is Rep. Duncan Hunter.

What you won't hear out of me is bashing of the other candidates on the Republican side. Let's be
honest...any of the Republicans is better than any of the Democrats. The primary process is the time
for discussing our differences of opinion with the various candidates and choosing which one best
represents our views on the issues. We do not need to tear down the other candidates in order to lift up
the one we like best. And while I may disagree with the other Republican candidates on a few issues, I
will support whoever ends up with the nomination. It is my contention that Duncan Hunter is the best
conservative running in the race and therefore I am proud to support him for President of the Untied
States in 2008.

UPDATE:

I have gotten more emails and messages over at MySpace about my endorsement of Duncan Hunter
than I have gotten for anything else I have ever written. And there are still more coming in. I am
happy to say that the overwhelming majority of them have been along the lines of "I never knew much
about Duncan Hunter until I read your endorsement and looked into his record. You are right and he is
easily the most conservative candidate we have running. I will be supporting Hunter in the primary." I
also got the response I knew I would get. The same response I got from my friend when I told him who
I was going to endorse. "Duncan Hunter is a great man and yes he is the most conservative, but he has
no shot at the nomination so I'm going to vote for (insert another candidate's name here) instead." My
response has been: I am voting who I believe has the best conservative record of the group in the
primary. If Rep. Hunter does not get the nomination, I will support whoever does. That being said, I
am reading and hearing all over the place that we need strong conservatives to run for office. Well we
have one right in front of our face, Duncan Hunter, and yet because he isn't polling well, some
conservatives aren't supporting him. All I can say is this. Don't bitch and moan that there aren't any
strong conservatives running if when one does run, such as Duncan Hunter, you don't get behind his
candidacy. I got a few messages to the effect of, "Why would I waste my vote when he clearly isn't
going to get the nomination?" It's the primaries! There are no wasted votes. You vote your
conscience in the primary. You vote for the best conservative candidate in the primary. Clearly, that
IS Rep. Hunter. Now if he doesn't make it to the general election, then you vote for the candidate that
matches your conservatism the best who will beat the liberal Democrat running. If there is an
independent run in the general election by a candidate who is more conservative than the Republican,
but has no chance of beating the Democrat...I will vote for the Republican that does have a chance to
win. But in the primary, it is my duty as a Proud Conservative, to vote for the candidate that best
exemplifies my conservative views. Once again, that candidate is Duncan Hunter. If you believe Rep.
Hunter is the best conservative in the race, then don't you owe it to the conservative movement to at
least support him in the primary?
