Look, I'm not happy with the crop of candidates we have (Rudy included), but Fred has been trotted out to address those concerns, and has been presented as the "Next Reagan", and nothing could be further from the truth.
Funny, because I worked for President Reagan and I disagree with you. Are they the same man? OF COURSE NOT!! Is Fred the closest we'll get to Mr. Reagan in the foreseeable future? Hell yes!!
“You’re a very quick researcher, sir. One of the hallmarks of a nitpicker, but I respect that. For the record, I have some issues with Rudy, but not nearly to the level as I have with the rest of the field.”
You keep laying up this phony straw dog statement that Fred Thompson isn’t Ronald Reagan and then you mention something about Thompson not getting conviction of Clinton about China, or some such thing.
While not answering any questions you were leading people to think that Fred just isn’t conservative enough for you, I think it helps them to know that you support the most liberal of all the candidates, namely Rudy Giuliani.
Fred wasn't 'trotted out' by anyone, and he is not presenting himself as the "Next Reagan", however many of his supporters DO see some similarities.
If YOU don't like his positions on the issues, or if you have someone you like better, that's fine. That's what the primary season is about, for candidates to try to win over supporters.
