What national security experience does Fred have? Sitting on a committee next to Patrick Leahy.
You can find pictures or Ronald Reagan with lots of folks. you can find pictures of him with Jim Jeffords. Ask Ed Rollins if he remembers any Thompson involvement with the Reagan campaigns.
Actually I make it a point to ask “why not”, and typically the candidates don’t like the question and don’t answer. Everybody’s daddy served in WWII. My great grandmother had som many serving she was selected to launch a liberty ship. You make a decision as a you young man to serve or not to serve. If there is a problem (Bill Weld-supposedly bad back, Howard Dean—sports injuries) we’ll hear about them. More often than not they just don’t want the sacrifice and discipline; they have “other priorities” in the words of another nonserver.
He’s helping by bumping the thread! You’ve got to give him credit for that, for Pete’s sake!
I’ll give it another bump. It seems to be doing him a lot of good. Perhaps he’ll find that hunting license next to his DD 214...
People are finally starting to see him.
He’s going to build the same type of multi-ideological coalition that Reagan did...fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, All-American patriot, kill-the-terrorist security conservatives, illegal immigration control advocates, Reagan Dems, and leave-me-the-hell-alone conservatives.
My tagline says it all.
Who pissed in your cornflakes?
Read ONE thing Fred has said or written and you’ll note that it’s a lot more like Reagan than Ford.
Well, I can look back to 1976 and see if he wrote a check to anybody.
