"I think Mike Duncan is a fine man and a dedicated public servant."

"I have found him to be honest, forthright, and fair, which I think are very important qualities for someone serving in government."

"I just cannot see sending our young men and women to die for that, for one more village."

"I think from a common sense point of view, a lot of people would question giving people who misbehave more weapons instead of giving them less."
