Fred vs. Hillary vs. GreenGore
Thanks to Al for letting us keep the Whitehouse!
Fred represents the East Tennessee Republican Establishment of Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander, he's not the heir of Ronald Reagan by a good margin.
His first TV appearance was back at those Watergate hearings back in the 70's when he asked questions that broke the scandal wide open. The Wikipedia article puts it this way: "He was responsible for Baker's asking one of the questions that is said to have led directly to the downfall of President Richard Nixon.."
I didn't like those hearings (I watched them as a teenager) although Thomspon didn't figure in my mind as much as Democrat Chairman Sam Ervin and Howard Baker did.
Its no wonder this guy got welcomed into the world of liberal Hollywood and acting. Heck, he helped bring down Richard Nixon. ("He ain't such a bad Republican")
I remind all, I smell the GOP Establishment using Thompson to bring down Giuliani's poll numbers to prop McCain up.
They want to draw conservative voters away while the mods stay with Giuliani or McCain.
We could be in the process of being suckered into helping McCain by changing his poll position to the lead.
Fred run! Frist stay out of the way. We don't need you reminding voters of the disaster you were and confuse you with Fred. So please do the country a favor and butt out.
Fred is probably the only Republican I'd vote for, for President in 2008.
I'd love to see them write in his departure from L&O!
Now if only Fred can be re-baptized in the Church of Dobson, it can be all systems go.
Hell man ... just announce and get into the arena already :)
Fred's got my vote. Well, he does unless he does something really really stupid.
