Love that Tyler Jones of The College Democrats of Charleston Southern University zeroed in on stuff that Hunter's been trying to avoid talking about. Basically about how he's the equivalent to Duke Cunningham here in terms of his shenanigans with the same folks (MZM, ADCS, etc.) that got him in prison.

We need to have Hunter not get any free passes whereever he goes. Needs to have his campaign shut down at the beginning, and the PROPER news about his corruption should rise to the top of google instead of him running for president! Kudos Tyler!

Jones said he's concerned about Hunter's links to defense contractors who could be motivated by profit to remain in Iraq.

Hunter denied any inappropriate conduct.
