I probably know more about Fred Thompson than any other candidate, which is why I worked with my reader base to help draft Fred into the ‘08 Presidential race. But that doesn’t mean that an honest concerned American doesn’t need to ask the right questions before climbing fully onboard any political train today.
If Jesus Christ himself were running today, we’d have to ask the same questions in light of today’s deception and corruption filled arena of national politics, especially if Jesus is now a member of CFR. So, though I’m thrilled that Fred Thompson has answered the people’s call to run, I’m still waiting to see which Fred is going to run.

My main question is: where is his team? Where will he get a good Secretary of Defense, a reliable Attorney General? What will his Chief of Staff be like?
You are not just voting for him, you are voting for the people he knows and could bring into an administration.
Amen. But then my true conservatism is being called into question tonight for disagreeing one time in 6 1/2 years with Dubya on the DISASTROUS amnesty bill. So I may be lying. Maybe I’m really voting for Hilly Chavez? It’s a mystery....
I have never been as impressed with a Pres. candidate as I am with Fred. I have heard die-hard (Harry Truman type, but die hard) Democrats say that he's the ONLY candidate they could vote for. That can't hurt.
Dittoes. Bush has definately turned on us in the past six years. The illegal alien appeasement is the last straw for me! Only a candidate who has our country’s security at heart will get my vote this time.
Don’t feel bad, I call W’s true conservatism into question for, among other things, supporting the POS amnesty bill.
Some people just don't understand how disastrous this bill is, and smile as he tries to ram it down their throats. MMmmmm, thank you, may I have another!
He would, I wouldn't.
Happily we have a FRed that is calm, thoughtful, competent and confidence inspiring, who (if you look at his website I’mwithfred.com)has addressed almost every major issue facing this nation clearly and without sham or artifice.
That lets you know he will select a team, a crew that can and will do the job, and do it competently.
It is early days and no announced candidate has offered up their team, except for La Clinton who by implication and inference will use all of the failed bureaucrats her corrupt husband has used in the past.
So if I were you, I would not hesitate to support FRed as a candidate who will select a cool, no frills, get it done staff that will to a job of work, without all of the BS.
And spending like a drunken sailor

Yep. I have no doubts that Fred will pick the right people for the job. Time will prove me right on that.
Indeed they do. Fred's closest political friends have always been folks like Howard Baker, John McCain, Chuck Hagel, Lamar Alexander, Bill Frist, et al.
Jesus Christ wouldn’t be running for office if he were on earth today. He’d have swept the world leaders off the chess board by now, and be helming all the governments an the planet as easily as opening a can of soup.
And he certainly wouldn’t be defending or explaining his positions. He’d simply be leading by proclamation and setting everything straight by the power of his word.
I think at this point that Fred Thompson is a blank canvas for Republicans to project their fondest wishes upon.
If Fred Thompson follows the list of conservative issues on J. B. Williams website, I’m 100% for Fred Thompson.
Many of us thought GW Bush would follow those principles too, but he let us down. He started out OK with tax relief and the economy grew. He was right to fight back against terrorism, but he let Rumsfeld and the old Army way of setting up gold-plated camps in Iraq, instead of keeping the enemy off balance, bog us down. GW really lost us on immigration.
If we conservatives can’t get the GOP to clean itself up, we either need a new third party or another meeting of the sons of liberty on Lexington green.
And for his DHS lackeys publicly portraying Annie Jacobson as a bigoted hysteric for reporting terrorist activity on an airline flight, when DHS' own documents corroborate her story.
Fred’s senate voting record does all the speaking I need at this point. But I am open to changing my mind, of course, if something doesn’t add up.
The author is the one who apparently bought in to the idea that the Bush family was a conservative family. Now, he's using his own mistake and applying it to Fred Thompson. The trouble is that there are not two Fred Thompson's. Fred is who he is. Being a member of CFR or any other think tank is not going to change that. Fred has never espoused 'compassionate conservatism' and has never advocated the Bush policies along those lines. There is no reason to think that he would start now. Especially when he's seen where that road leads.
If Jesus were running today, he’d be pissed off about the “no miracles within 90 days of an election” clause in McCain-Feingold.
