Anyone expecting perfection from any person we elect has set themselves up for big disappointment. I know going in that there will times that I will be at odds with Fred’s opinions or actions. I simply believe that, as a presidential package, he is the best conservative choice and that we have a good chance of him still being the same flawed but decent and principled man after the election.

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.
