Thompson isn’t “just like Bush.”
In fact, from the Dems’ perspective, the candidate most often compared to Bush is Giuliani. I’ve been over to enemy territory.
They think Giuliani is Bush II. Fred? They FEAR him.
You guys are dead wrong. We LOST the center in 2006. We’re not going to get it back by running a southern good-ol’ boy. Why, pray tell, would the Democrats fear Fred Thompson? And if he is so great then why doesn’t he throw his hat into the ring? Say what you want about Giuliani and McCain and Romney (I have problems with all of them) but at least they are debating and working to get votes. Fred Thompson is lazy, and that he won’t get into the race and would instead comment from afar while Sean Hannity had to save his ass from flubbing a question on abortion is insulting. Why shouldn’t he have to earn our votes like everyone else? Why should someone who hasn’t been vetted leap to the front of the pack? Shouldn’t he have to prove himself before he earns the support of Republicans?
