But other than that, what do you think about Fred? ;-)

"But other than that, what do you think about Fred? ;-)"

Other than his votes on international trade, his pro-cheap-labor-flood immigration votes, his vote in favor of the McCain-Feingold Act, and his work for the S&L bailout, his record looks pretty good (much better than Giuliani's).

IMO, Duncan and Gingrich look like much better candidates for defense, national cohesiveness and conservatism in general, though. I can't find any defense related experience in Fred's background. ...only legal work, acting, and a couple of senatorial terms. He's been a politician in more ways than one (mainly judicial, it appears). That's for sure.

BTW, I haven’t seen Fred on television, because I haven’t watched TV shows for a few years. ...only an occasional movie.

Since when do we measure a candidate by looking at his or her voting record? If this method of selecting a candidate ever becomes widely known it will spell the end of the Democrat party for sure and put the Republicans in deep doo doo.

Let’s go back to picking the candidate who makes the the best stage appearance, is witty in debate and wears the right color tie in public.

Comparing voting records is a bore and requires thinking. It will never catch on.

Fred Thompson should be measured by his minot role in the movie, “Hunt for Red October.” If you believe he did a good acting job then it follows that he will make a good president.
