Which Fred is Running for President?

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.

Thanks for the ping!!

And he admits his mistake with CFR.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I meant the other CFR, the Council on Foreign Relations. Confusing I know! :)

The answer to my tagline - Soylent Green! You win.

[yield 2 the right]

Fred another RINO?

[RightthinkinAmerican]

I wondered what you meant by think tank.

Here’s a site that I found yesterday. It contains information on his voting history and the like.

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.

Your CFR is necessary to him being president. It is all part of the CFR, Bilderberger, Tri-lat, NWO conspiracy the nuts like to promote, can’t be prez without it, doncha know : )

I think this site may be a little more COMPLETE with the story. Let's not tell half-truths like the lib media.

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

Thanks for the article.

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.

Nobody can assemble an acceptable-looking record like a U.S. Senator. That's job one from the first day you arrive, donchaknow...

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?

Any info on who will fill those positions for Mitt or Rudy or McCain or Hunter or Clinton or Obama or Edwards? Or is this just a rule you apply to Thompson?

Which Fred is Running for President?

>> If Jesus Christ himself were running today,

Now, that’s one way to stop a story in its tracks.

[do the dhue]

If Jesus Christ himself were running today, we’d 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?
