Yes, I really like Fred Thompson and JC Watts, a lot! I think they are well matched, and imo, they would be unbeatable. Not to mention, I like their positions on immigration, crime, especially youth crime, defense, the budget, jobs, etc.

I also believe that JC would be a bridge to the racial divide this Country suffers so badly from. Both of them are fantastic orators and could whup the hildebeast and obama in a debate with half of their brains tied behind their backs...and make them feel obliged for doing so. :O)

If only...


:O)
