Hate and intolerance are not family values. Both of these men served their country. One for a few years another for a life time. American conversation can do better than hate. The fact is it hasn't worked for the last 8 years. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Perhaps it's time to change direction. Both here and in DC.

Political analysts say Hunter Jr.'s current role as a Marine puts him in an enviable political position. "Who's going to throw mud at someone who's in a foxhole?" asks Carl Luna, a political science professor at San Diego Mesa College and longtime observer of California politics.
But Hunter isn't the only warrior in the race. Mike Lumpkin, a recently retired Navy SEAL commander, is one of Hunter's opponents on the Democratic side. "I have great respect for his service to his country, but if his name wasn't Duncan Hunter you wouldn't be writing this story," says Lumpkin, who has a master's degree in national security. "People are rallying around this young man, but the truth is no one really knows him."
