An important point from the article;

[”We need look no further back than 2008 for a vivid historical example. That year, Republicans were in a similar mood, disenchanted for one reason or another with Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, and the whole crew.

At that point, the GOP’s brilliant backup plan was Draft Fred Thompson. His positive qualities were obvious enough: The former senator and longtime actor had a conservative enough record to be acceptable to activists without being threatening to swing voters; he seemed articulate and reasonably smart; and he was, of course, a celebrity who got to play a gruff, tough, avuncular prosecutor. He was sort of Tim Pawlenty with a growl and gravitas.”]

You've said some pretty stupid things in your posting history, but this has go to be in the top 10. There was never any plan by the GOP to do draft Thompson. Never. If there was, perhaps your brilliance could show it to us, yes?

Don't let facts get in the way of your deranged musings though.

Fred’s greatest quality was that he didn’t seem to lust after the job. We need a President like that.
