Duncan Hunter - Rating

All
presidential candidates,
including California Republican Congressman
Duncan Hunter, claimed faith in
Christ. But when asked to testify about their Lord by sharing their Christian testimony, all but one
took cover. The lone exception was Congressman Duncan Hunter.
Congressman Hunter answered all 30
questions for
presidential candidates. While we didn't agree with all of his answers, we
were impressed with the majority and particularly impressed with Duncan Hunter's
unflinching loyalty to Christ (see answer #9 of his
Christian testimony).
All other candidates heeded political strategists and circumvented specifics on their
faith, considered a "divisive" issue. Duncan Hunter heeded God,
who commanded:
"Always be ready to give a defense to
everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and
fear." (1 Peter 3:5)
All other candidates prioritized winning the election at all cost. Duncan Hunter
prioritized
standing up for his
Lord and campaigned tirelessly, but left the election results up to Him.
GodVoter.org knew
little about Congressman Hunter until receiving his
Christian testimony, but was pleased to
endorse the candidacy of this
pro-life,
12-term Congressman and Chairman of the House Armed Services
Committee, an endorsement which he
publicly accepted.
That America all but ignored this eminently qualified, true Christian candidate
is an indictment not of his candidacy but of the country, including the
evangelical
Christian
conservatives and other
values voters.
But a weightier indictment may be the one that awaits the other candidates when
they meet Jesus, who said:
"For whoever is ashamed
of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of
Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy
angels." (Mark 8:38)
Congressman Hunter voluntarily retired from his Congressional seat in 2008 at
the relatively young age of 60.
GodVoter.org
will be pleased to see him or another candidate with his profile and courage run
for the White House in the upcoming election.
Our presidential rating of Congressman Duncan Hunter remains an
A.
