RIIIIIIIGHT!
Instead of Fred Dalton Thompson, we should (?????) elect the cross-dressing, babykiller supporting, gungrabbing, lavender canoodling supporting former mayor of New York??? I don't think so. Based upon your post, Wendell Willke must have been a really great candidate in 1940, Ross Perot in 1992, Alf Landon (daddy of abortion-loving Nancy Landon Kassebaum) and their liberal ilk would have made great presidents too! Each had "executive experience" unlike George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln (gag me but for other reasons), and others.
You keep on repeating a mantra about children born and unborn but provide no substance to the suggestion that you or your candidate support the unborn. That Rudy yaddayaddas about "strict constructionists" proves nothing. Whatever reason would Rudy have to lie??? Warmed-over Rockefellerist hysterics about the need to nominate issue surrender monkeys does not prevail.
I am not saying executive experience is sufficient. (clinton and Carter are perfect counterexamples)
I am saying it is necessary. (BTW, George would tell you being a GENERAL isn’t chopped liver in that department.)
Executive experience is necessary, especially in these perilous times.
Especially after Bush.
We need experience and we need proven success.
The voters will demand it.
Fred Thompson is a nice enough guy with great stage presence.
He suggests experience and exudes what seems like gravitas, but does he really have either?
And he is no conservative. A true conservative would NEVER ever gut the amendment from which all of our liberties flow.
The issue isn’t Rudy’s conservatism, (which, according to you, is nonexistent). It is Fred’s.
If you are going to reject Rudy and select someone with inferior credentials based on his ideology, you had better be sure his ideology and the ideology you are desperately seeking are actually one and the same.
