A Republican I kinda liked.  Too bad he never had a chance at POTUS.

yeah, you guys stick with the politics and I'm over here all sad because now Bruce Willis doesn't have a sane person to deal with when the evil terrorists take over Dulles. :(

That sucks. I liked him both as an actor and politician, and he seemed to be a genuinely good human being . RIP.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Going to be missed on so many fronts.  Loved him in Law and Order.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Had good taste in girlfriends, too. ;)

He had some good lines in his stump speeches for president. "A cat will never sit on a hot stove twice. But it won't sit on a cold one, either."

Sorry to hear of his passing.  A "good Joe," in my book.  RIP.

He would have been a great President, in the mold of Reagan.
Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson was given this slogan by 2008 pundits: “”Kill the terrorists. Protect the border. Punch the hippies.”

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Whether he was a good politician or not, he will be missed.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith
