I like what I’m seeing from Fred.

I do too. I hadn't really thought about him much before. The guy who speaks up and tells the truth in a tough, straightforward way is they guy who's going to get my vote this time. I'm through with "sweetness and light" candidates. Thompson is not only right, he's smart.

It's because Fred comes from what is called the "Jacksonian Tradition". Straight talk and honesty is the cornerstone of this tradition.
