Fred Thompson speaks my language as well. What I would like to see him take on is the mind-set of the Democrats who want to let the United Nations run this country and who treat every attack on us as a police matter. I’ve been thinking along those lines since George Tenant’s book came out. Everyone, including the Democrats, believed that Iraq was harboring and training the enemy, but their approach to this was to treat it as a police matter under the direction of the United Nations. We can’t let the Democrats get control!

I’m not an American so I can’t vote, and don’t have a dog in this fight, as the expression goes. I saw him on O’Reilly today for the first time in a very long time. I wanted to be impressed, but he seemed nervous, spoke too fast and too much, did not express himself all that clearly, and did not look real healthy. If he is the guy that runs for the Republicans he will have to do much better than that to win over swing voters.

Oh, he also said his health was more important than any campaign. That is not what voters want to hear. Especially not in wartime. They want to hear that the candidate believes with all his heart he is the best man in the country for the job - the only one that can really do it well, and that he will sacrifice himself to get it and do it as best he can. It could also be spun to imply his health is not good. That was a very bad slip and if he is prone to those he will get chewed up over them.
