Wow--well put. I agree. He is who I would point to if any foreigner asked me to indicate a politician I believe has the nation's best interests in mind, and is an example of the best America can be.
On a different subject...I wonder when we will hear about his own personal tragesy with his daughter? The MSM LOVE the Edwards tragedies--maybe they're going to smear Thompson soon so he doesn't muscle in on Tragedy TV time.
Because our new Fred D. Thompson for President.com is only a few days old, we haven't yet covered all of his personal life. We are aware that he lost his daughter to bad circumstances and we will cover that in detail the same as we want to more fully understand his divorce. We don't want to make any mistakes in reporting the truth on either of these sensitive subjects, so please be patient. There will be no lies, half-truths or unconfirmed rumors about Fred D. Thompson on the Fred D. Thompson for President.com website.
I know- you're right about the mudslinging from the Hillary camp.
Although- when Bob Beckel said Thompson is the Dems worst night mare- I think part of the reason is..there's nothing awful- no dreadful skeletons waiting in the shadows.
Even though, his not running for reelection gave us weak sister Lamarr Alexander, I have great respect for Fred.
"...maybe they're going to smear Thompson soon so he doesn't muscle in on Tragedy TV time."
Ah the Tragedy Vote, can't overlook that. All Rudy needs is a recurrence of some treatable cancer and he's in.
