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 doesnt mean that an honest concerned American doesnt need to ask the right questions before climbing fully onboard any political train today.
If Jesus Christ himself were running today, wed have to ask the same questions in light of todays deception and corruption filled arena of national politics, especially if Jesus is now a member of CFR. So, though Im thrilled that Fred Thompson has answered the peoples call to run, Im 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?Holy Cow, man, it is 16 months before the election.
Get a grip.

Finally some honest discussion.
Mr Williams mirrors my thinking, though he far more informed.
Thanks for the article.

Freds senate voting record does all the speaking I need at this point. But I am open to changing my mind, of course, if something doesnt add up. Nobody can assemble an acceptable-looking record like a U.S. Senator. That's job one from the first day you arrive, donchaknow...

If Jesus Christ himself were running today, wed have to ask the same questions I don't know about you, but I don't feel like questioning the Lord.
And please bless our Troops and their families.
Amen

I am glad he said this. This is the one thing I am truly worried about and that is will our next President do only what the big boys want?
