Learn something new every day. Being from Tennessee, you would know more about Fred than I would. I never said I was voting for him. In fact, I’m waiting and gathering facts about all of them. I need input from people who actually have seen a candidate in action. Thank you for that information.
If you ever get a chance to see it watch the movie Marie. Fred Thompson plays his own part. He was defending the Tennessee Corrections Commissioner whom our governor in the 1980's was setting up. The governor had a cash for clemency scam going among other things. This scandal also cost Marie's boyfriend his life IIRC. Or look up Ray Blanton better known as Pardon Me Ray. This was organized crime that involved his cabinet as well. Marie blew the whistle on him. For what it's worth she's a Dem and so was the governor. If Fred could have stood up to what to amounted to the Dixie then why not John Glenn and the DEMs?
