That alone makes him suspect in my mind.
And if anyone wants to throw their opinion in as to how much a conservative he is ... I give you our own Rick Santorum ... alas ... no longer anointed, yet every bit as, and perhaps more conservative than Thompson.
So it comes down to the anointing.
I'll wait a bit longer ... if Thompson shows himself worthy, I'll consider him.
(This is not a slam against Thompson, just a cautious opinion)
Don’t blame you a bit:) I’ve been following Fred since Watergate and when I heard he might be looking at a run I was more excited than I’ve been in years about a candidate..
Great post. And there does seem to want there to be an anointment of Fred Thompson. He may be an acceptable conservative but I don’t think he has proven himself or shown himself in the past as being a particularly effective or stand out Senator, other than being one of the few Hollyweird Republicans.
I give you our own Rick Santorum
People from PA say he was a good conservative but an @sshole as a guy and that’s why he lost. Nobody liked him.
People like Fred Thompson, he has an attractive personality.
