Thompson:
The hype over former Sen. Fred Thompson has some substance to it, as the actor-politician has already begun approaching experienced campaign hands in key states.
Thompson already evokes the obvious comparison to Ronald Reagan because of his profession.
Thompson effectively embraced the Republican right when he ran for and entered the U.S. Senate.
From the perspective of the Republican Party's conservative base, he stacks up well against each of the "Big Three" leading Republican candidates.
His voting record (lifetime American Conservative Union rating: 86%) in the Senate is more conservative than that of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain (lifetime ACU rating: 82%), none of his position-switches are nearly as bad or as recent as those of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), and nothing in his background is as negative as that of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).
Given enough money, Thompson could make a good run at it by tearing down the conservative credentials of the "Big Three" and then building himself up as a tax-cutting, pro-life former senator.
His acting role on "Law & Order" does not hurt, either.

Sounds like he's starting to make some moves .. WOO HOO!
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Run, Fred, RUN!!
Don't be too sure about that. I just got reamed out royally at FireSociety.com by some dumb woman because Fred is an actor. She said it was OK that Ronald Reagan was an actor because he did his acting 50 years ago before Hollyweird got so corrupt. She lumps all modern actors in the loony left category. I tried to explain that Fred was a conservative actor and she went ballistic. I told her that if we had a Fred Thompson/Chuck Norris ticket she would really go into a tail spin. LOL She started her tirade with "I don't know anything about this Fred Thompson guy but..." I told her if she didn't know anything about him then she didn't have anything to talk about. It went dowhill from there. I think I held my own pretty good though. FireSociety is supposed to be a conservative forum but it seems to have been inundated with nut cases lately. I might lay low for a day or so because I seem to be getting out numbered for some reason.
