There are lots of differences between Ronald Reagan and Fred Thompson, first of all Reagan served in the military first, then Reagan became an actor, who later turned to politics, who then became Governor of California. Ronald Reagan did not go back to acting, he continued his political service.

Fred on the other hand Got a law degree, never served in the military, he worked as an attorney , and did some acting on the side, and eventually became a senator, and then he gave up his political life for Hollywood. AS... Fred said, he preferred the fresh air of Hollywood to the air of D.C. Why did he change his mind now, is the air suddenly fresher in DC? Fred never really has had to lead a group of people, his only credientials are being an attorney, actor and senator.

Yeah, those Lawyer/Actor/Senators are a dime a dozen, anyone could do those things, even in a single life time. Law School, bah, piece of cake baby, it’s for losers...

Mitt’s drop is cutting deep I guess...

No Reagan(God bless his soul) went around making paid speeches to industrial giants like General Electric and saying good things about their products. Even when he was an actor he made commercials (Remember Death Valley Days)

Today he would be called a shill for big business or worse a lobbyist.

Sound familar?
