  1. Bravo to the local and national party committees that doubled down on their man when they knew he was a ticking time bomb. Now his name can’t be removed from the ballot and prop 14 prevents a write in challenge. His seat either flips when it otherwise wouldn’t have, or he wins reelection and has to resign anyway, teeing up more wasted money on a special election.

  3. Welcome to the swampiest swamp that ever swamped.

    Where is the patriotic (or competent, or decent) uprising within the Republican Party?

    Ronald Reagan and Abe Lincoln would not be welcome in, nor would they choose to identify with the current GOP.

    Shame.

    Shame.

    Shame.

    Statement on Rep. Duncan Hunter

    WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) today issued the following statement:

    “The charges against Rep. Hunter are deeply serious. The Ethics Committee deferred its investigation at the request of the Justice Department. Now that he has been indicted, Rep. Hunter will be removed from his committee assignments pending the resolution of this matter.”

    Tony Krvaric:

    “In America we operate under the presumption of innocence. In due time a jury and voters will have their say regarding Congressman Hunter. Fair minded Americans will not prejudge the outcome.”

  7. Remember that time Tony K used the same soothing tone to ask that everyone withhold judgement of Filner?

    Me neither.

  8. There are some things that are running causes for laughter in DC that don’t seem to make it back locally with quite the full force that they should (see: Team DeMaio’s inability to figure out what DC folks regularly laughed about: Filners inability not to wave his dick around – figuratively and literally). DC has been laughing at Duncan D. for some time now.

    But I’m glad to see Krvaric finally stick his neck out for a Republican in trouble. Back before his “leadership” endured 10 years of Republicans losing seats in the county, he’d stay silent in such times. Guess he’s running out of Republicans in big seats.

  10. I don’t really blame Tony Krvaric personally for calling for the kind of temperance and open-mindedness for Duncan Hunter that he would never spare for a Democrat in the same position. He’s just doing what any party leader would do. Is he totally blameless? No. Is it sad commentary on the pathetic things party politics require us to do? Yep.

  12. This year’s award for worst guilt by association, subcategory multi-generational, goes to . . .

    Hector Gastelum.

  13. Ah yes, there’s Hector Gastelum, writing things online that will one day sink his hopeless candidacy for municipal office. Right. On. Time.

  14. “The grandson of a terrorist”…who never met his grandfather (as he was killed before the guy was born)
    who is a Christian who was involved in his church’s youth ministry, who worked cleaning freakin toilets when he was fifteen to help make ends meet versus a man who can’t balance a check book whilst earning $175,000/year. Hmmmmm…doesn’t seem a difficult choice to me.

  15. I consider Hector a friend but that was one of the worst comments I’ve ever seen on Rostra. It reflects poorly on the San Diego Republican Party .
