Thank you for answering my question. There has been a lot of very mean comments being made to posters. To be honest, it has made me not even want to read Free Republic. The sad fact is that except for the Rudy posters, who actually post articles about why they are supporting their candidates, I was seeing nothing about why people are supporting Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson. There was no case being made except for vote for him because I said so and your dumb if you don't see my point of view. I find Fred Thompson to be interesting and you actually told me something I didn't know about him. I'm still not sold on his Presidential qualifications but considering he hasn't even announced his candidacy, it's still early.
You are very welcome.
I've met Fred at some too-expensive-per-plate Republican things. I tend to judge a man by his handshake, which I know is stupid. But Fred has calloused hands, gives you a full hand shake, and meets your eye. I liked him immediately.
