Fred Thompson
If we have more people on the receiving end of government - more people as the middle class becomes sucked in more and more to these entitlement programs, for example - then we're going to be in a place where it's going to be hard to go back. It's going to be hard to go back again. It's going to be hard to take away stuff. It's not impossible.
Fred Thompson
You can't substitute promise after promise with known violators of prior promises at the expense of protecting ourselves or setting an example.
Fred Thompson
