Duncan Hunter announces run for 2008 GOP presidential nomination

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina (CNN) -- Addressing an audience in South Carolina, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, announced Thursday he will run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.

"Let's begin this race for the American presidency and let's win," Hunter said in front of a banner advertising his campaign Web site -- www.gohunter08.com.

In a speech preceding his announcement, the 14-term U.S. congressman from California addressed a wide variety of issues including U.S. trade, China's devaluation of its currency, border security, Iran, and the importance of family.

The former chairman of the House Armed Services Committee also said he supported President Bush's plan to send more than 20,000 more U.S. troops to Iraq to try to secure Baghdad.

4. From the website: One Nation, One People, One Leader, No Democrats

“Peace Through Strength” are three words that, when uttered with conviction by a man of principle and great leadership, and backed up by decisive action, had the power to free hundreds of millions of people from the oppression of communism and saved this country from the specter of “mutually assured destruction.”

Sounds almost like a speech from He Whose Name Must Not Be Used On The Internet In A Political Context, doesn't it?

5. He is a flake from San Diego,

Makes Bush look like a scholar in comparison, he is really that stupid. I have met him.
Fortunately he is not very highly favored by most conservative groups, I think the anti-immigrant types like him and some of the So-Cal wealthy. His appeal in San Diego is basically him unshakable devotion to NIMBY that is plunging San Diego into an infrastructure crisis.

He is also in danger of being implicated in the Duke Cunningham matter,

[sdfernando]

11. He is NOT from San Diego

He represents El Cajon (the box!). We in San Diego have/want NOTHING to do with this cretin!

12. Also brought a plate of food to the floor of Congress showing how well

the prisoners in Guantanamo are fed, what with the "Orange glazed chicken, pilaf, etc."

Now, how do we treat these people? I sent down yesterday for the menu from Guantanamo, so that the average American could understand how we’re brutalizing people in Guantanamo, and I’ve got it right here. For Sunday they’re going to be having — let me see — orange-glazed chicken, fresh fruit groupe, steamed peas and mushrooms, rice pilaf, another form of torture for the hijackers. We treat them very well.
