Since the implosion of George Allen last summer and fall, I'm undecided. I'm leaning toward Fred Thompson but probably because of the Allen debacle, I'm leery that Thompson isn't ready for prime time.
I'm probably being too harsh here but if Fred Thompson wasn't an actor, I doubt his record as a Senator would have gotten anyone too excited about a possible presidential run. Images of Ronald Reagan are dancing in everyone's head but I'm not sure that Thompson is the one to carry Reagan's mantle.
I liked (still like) Allen. Personally I don’t think Thompson will run. He isn’t yet and I don’t think it’s likely. But I could be wrong. He isn’t Reagan, that is for sure.
Right now I like Paul, although I highly doubt he will get the nomination. I’ve liked his stance on most things, some not more then others. He is too far outside the duopoly policies to be considered.
I like that he wants to get rid of the tax system as it is right now, (I hate the fact that I have to report interest I’ve paid and made, I hate the fact that I have to tell the gov what charities I give to, what office equipment I buy, how many miles I drive...etc) I like his championship of secure boarders, of the second amendment. I really like the fact he tried to bring back the letter of Marque to fight terror and proposed that pilots should be able to carry a weapon after 911. Among other things.
