I’m convinced Fred Thompson loves our country and I’m convinced he is not seeking the Presidency out of a lust for power, fame, or money. These are difficult times and we have no idea what the nation and the next President will face, but I would be more confident with Fred Thompson in charge than any other front runner on either side. I hope others come to the same conclusion before they cast their votes.
As for surprises, I’m with Fred. I think there are more good ones to come.
I haven’t agreed with many of the things that President Bush has done or communicated in the last seven years, but do I thank God every day that he’s the President?
You bet. Can you imagine the world at this point with Kerry in charge? Or Gore?
Please.
On balance, W is going to be hailed as the guy that finally stood up again to the naked aggression of a radical, global cult - much the way Churchill did in facing the Nazi cult.
They’ll also look back and say what a remarkable job he did sheparding the economy through a very volatile period.
There will be other things he’ll likely not be widely toasted for as well, but I think 20 years will have to pass before anyone can say at this point.
