Fred's experience has proven him competent, capable, pertained to issues of national security and left those whom he served satisfied and with a sense of respect for his service.
Huckabee's executive experience was riddled with ethics scandals, a ridiculous number of clemencies that went against the advice and best interest of others in his state, showed a propensity for taking "gifts" in lieu of favors, and left the conservatives in Arkansas with tatters for a movement after his betrayal of them after taking office.
No matter the platform for experience, it matters most what the individual does with his opportunity. I submit Fred Thompson has shown himself better at executing his responsibilities than Huckabee. Mike's executive position simply proved him to be wanting.
please give me one example of a policy developed by Fred as a senator or on his committees related to national security (actual experience)
