I like the message but think he needs a refresher course on trigger discipline.

I hope he starts a groundswell of other political candidates using similar tone. Heck, I wish our entire country of leaders had this tone, Winchester or not.
I just wonder about the American people. I like to believe in who we Americans are, regardless of race or background, collectively, as we've risen out of turmoil time and again.
For this guy or any other tough guy to make real change there is quite a mountain to get over first...causing all the freeloaders to get a big reset that they are required to get back to work...causing all the fence-sitters to join the change movement...having everyone willing to make some sacrifices to get their own lives back under control with debt, spending, lifestyles, etc.
Can we collectively do it anymore? Do we have the will to? That is the question.....

If I lived in Alabama, I would vote for him. No nonsense, no BS kind of ad.

We could use more straightforward guys like him in every level of government. If he's on the level, I'd vote for him.

I hope he is the "real deal"! I am always a bit suspicious of the "folksy" "I'm one of you - not them" politicians. It seems when you start turning over rocks, the "folksy" gun-toting" "horse-riding" cowboy-hat-wearing" pose is just that.
I hope it is not in this case.

It's a sad commentary to reserve , or "qualify"opinions on political candidates. Such is sad state today, thanks to those in office now. The real deal good guys are accused of something falsely, and sometimes that's all it takes; little wonder we find few good guys on the ballot. More often than not all we see are the ass clowns like blumenthal.
Perhaps the current state of our political leadership has jolted voters back to the real world. I'm am looking with great hope to the mid-term elections this fall.

Fred Thompson sounded good on screen, too, but...
