Honestly, I feel Duncan Hunter is the only candidate that could bring the conservative base together. Furthermore, his position on trade should resonate extremely well with many Democrats and Independents. IMHO, Duncan Hunter would have the best chance of defeating the DNC nominee in the presidential election. Of course that may be the very reason the media is doing all it can to shut him down. That would certainly explain their obvious favoritism toward candidates like Huckabee and McCain.

That's true. Not only is he the only one left with impecable credentials on the immigration issue, Duncan is the only Rep candidate left that has a good plan to end the disasterous trade policies of Clinton and Bush. He would work to end the trade deals with China and get the manufacturing jobs back home. That indeed could win back those "Reagan Democrats" that Jorge chased out of the party.

Yep, but the media is doing all it can to suppress his message.

Why Chuck Yeager supports Duncan Hunter

The unfolding 2008 presidential campaigns have brought some unusual names to the forefront of American politicking. Among them, Oprah Winfrey, that citadel of expertise on domestic and foreign affairs, gives her flamboyant support to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., while the intellectually vacant social activist vote of Barbra Streisand goes to Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Duncan Hunter

In contrast, consider the preference expressed by retired Brig. Gen. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager. A true American superhero of unrivaled pedigree, Yeager was the first human being ever to fly "faster than a speeding bullet," as he successfully broke the sound barrier six decades ago in the Bell X-1. He went on to reach numerous other aviation milestones as a test pilot, eventually achieving the rank of brigadier general in the United States Air Force.

In a letter that has been recently distributed to Republican voters in early deciding states, Yeager enthusiastically offers his support for the presidential candidacy of Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. His reasons for doing so are extremely telling.

As a test pilot, fighter pilot and general officer, Yeager gained a keen awareness of the dangers facing America's combat forces and the bigger picture of how those dangers threatened the nation as a whole.

Along with his indomitable skill and courage as a test pilot, Yeager also attained a thorough understanding of the realities of his equipment and surroundings, and any limitations on them that could not be exceeded. Before he climbed into a machine that would hurl him to the stratosphere and back, it was essential that he have absolute confidence in the integrity of the people who designed it, those who built it, as well as those who serviced it for flight.

A successful test pilot can have little patience for the hindsight, second-guessing and "Monday morning quarterbacking" that typifies so much of the political field these days. It does little good for a pilot who attempts a downwind takeoff or neglects a proper preflight of his vehicle to be ready with a long list of excuses attempting to explain the disaster that ensued. In some situations, there is simply no substitute for being right the first time around.

Nor would a man like Chuck Yeager, whose very survival depended on his ability to meet any difficult occasion whether on the ground or in the air, be overly inspired by politicians that sidestep thorny political controversies. Clearly, he has not been impressed by the many attempts among the so-called "top tier" candidates to "thread the needle" between doing the right thing, which might generate a firestorm of criticism from the opposition, and doing the politically "safe" thing, even though it doesn't truly address the problem.

As a member of the 173rd Airborne Brigade and 75th Army Rangers in Vietnam, Duncan Hunter's job was not to try to skirt the difficult situations, but to confront them with confidence and conviction – and with a determination to prevail. And that quality has been a hallmark of his public life ever since.

Such attributes are critical to our nation, which faces threats to its future, both at home and from across the ocean, unlike any experienced by previous generations. This is simply not the time for pleasant-sounding but meaningless speeches. Rather, it is the time for an honest appraisal of the nature of the problems facing us and the best course to correct them.

Take, for example, the issue of illegal immigration. Yeager's endorsement starkly contrasts the platitudes and posturing of the other candidates against Hunter's no-nonsense approach to the illegal immigration issue.

Even though he's fully aware that it would make him a lightning rod to his critics, Hunter has never attempted to sugarcoat or play down the gravity of the situation or the severity of the measures necessary to effectively tackle it. Instead, he just got busy and built the fence that now protects San Diego from an unchecked influx of illegals. As a result, crime in San Diego has plummeted. Well thought actions work where empty words fail. And Duncan Hunter is a man of action to match his words.

Yeager goes on to point out that Hunter is no less direct in his assessment of the emerging threats posed by the Chinese. And, standing virtually alone, he is resolved and forthright in his intentions to confront the situation.

Throughout his 26 years in Congress, Duncan Hunter has taken on such enormous tasks as a unwavering conservative. Unlike so many current political figures, he has no need to offer any excuses or apologies for past lapses in judgment. And he has prevailed.

To those who say his chances of success are too much of a long shot since his campaign is not backed by the powerful interests, Yeager counters that Duncan Hunter is perhaps the only candidate who does not believe he can buy his way into the White House. Rather, he relies on the strength of his conservative principles.

This is the single most defining difference between Duncan Hunter and the so-called "top tier" candidates. Duncan Hunter stands alone in his ability to endure close scrutiny of his past record. In complete contrast to the "top tier," America can be sure that the more it learns about Duncan Hunter, the more it will revere and respect him. As a leading force who has been devoted to the good of the nation throughout his public life, he needs and deserves the country's enthusiastic support.

Moreover, in Chuck Yeager's America, difficulty is never a reason to refuse a challenge. Whenever the people of the heartland put their minds to something simply because it is the right thing to do, no matter how daunting a task it may be, they can succeed. And Yeager's own life and accomplishments certainly stand as proof.

Duncan Hunter on the issues:

Hunter Gets Yet Another Key Endorsement!



Congressman JD Hayworth, author of Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security and the War on Terror endorses Hunter!

Help make Congressman Hayworth's endorsement count!

Hayworth bucks the milquetoast trend of the GOP party-establishment to marginalize the immigration issue and tuck it out of the way of the current crop of amnesty candidates.

Instead, he's voting for the last remaining border security hawk in the race: Duncan Hunter.

Congressman Hayworth writes:

"To base a primary vote on 'electability' instead of ideas and principles seems to me a reduction of your rights via rationalization.

No one will ever completely agree with every position that a candidate takes…as Sharon put it, 'there is no perfect candidate,' but I believe my vote should go to the candidate who comes closest to espousing the philosophy I share.

That brings me back to Duncan Hunter.

No, he won't be on the stage tonight in the South Carolina GOP Debate, and his name appears nowhere near the top of the polls…but he supported tax cuts, did a masterful job as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and stands for 'enforcement first' on illegal immigration.

That's why he'll get my vote and my support for as long as he is in it…even if he doesn't win it!"

As we all know, other candidates are getting credit for the positions they've taken that are identical to Duncan Hunter's.



Huckabee is the "man of faith".



Giuliani is the "anti-terrorism" candidate, by virtue of his high profile on 9/11.



Romney is the guy who can handle finances.



Fred is the Second Amendment champion.



But, Duncan Hunter is all of those and more!



So we've started asking a simple question to people we meet who say they're supporting one of these men.



"Where do your core beliefs come from?"



"Do the things you're passionate about, the things that are important to you, come from what's popular, or do they come from what is right?"



We don't wait for an answer. Those questions deserve to be asked and answered in the privacy of each man and woman's heart.



We're not supporting Duncan Hunter because he's the front-runner in

the race.



We're not supporting him because of how well he polls.



We're not supporting him because he's this week's media darling.



We're supporting him because he is right!



Help us help the right man for the job!



He's right on every issue we hold dear. If we're honest with ourselves, and if we think it's important to elect the right person this November, we need to ask ourselves and those around us: "Where do our core beliefs come from?"



The answer we come up with leads us to one candidate only. The complete conservative: Duncan Hunter.



Join us in our fight for what's right! Join the team of principles and true American values.



Duncan Hunter is still in the fight and refused to give up!



Help us make his commitment count!

This is a great endorsement! I have read Whatever it Takes. Its an excellent book. It is the first of five books that I have read on illegal immigration. I decided to read it after seeing Hayworth all over cable news and talk radio during the explosive debate in the Spring of 06. It really opened my eyes to the enormity of the problem and destroys OBL media myths. It encouraged me to read and reasearch more, which is what brought me here.

Duncan Hunter would be an excellent candidate. He's had no recent "revelations", he has a solid record.
To see McCain leading in the polls in SC makes me want to barf.
