>>>I loved Fred's line: "Our people have shed more blood for the liberty and freedom of other peoples ... than all the other countries put together.

I love that line too. I believe I heard it here first though:

Duncan Hunter: (snip) This country has lost 619 thousand Americans on the battlefields around the world in the last 100 years making the world safe.

Plaque on Ronald Reagan’s desk:

“There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.”

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

You really think Fred Thompson is eagerly investigating Duncan Hunter’s “style” so he can also be reduced in the polls to 1%?

I bet somebody else somewhere has said that before. Hunter must have stolen it from that person.

You know why Fred’s version is better? Because he doesn’t get mired down in the minutia of exact numbers and so many meaningless details.

That’s the difference between a leader and a go-to guy that a leader hires to do a job. Duncan Hunter is a doer, not a leader. He’s a very good doer and a good man, but he’s not a president. He simply doesn’t have it in him.

Unfortunately I think you are one of the only 10 people who did.

That has been Hunter’s line since his first announcement speech.
