Up until recently I have been drawn to Rudy, I like his toughness and I think he would be a good choice to lead this nation. However, The more I read and see Fred Thompson, the more I like the man. Just the fact that the "Times Twins" are trying to smear him is enough to make me like him. Anyone that the LAT and NYT are against I have to be for.I remember seeing Thompson on the Senate floor years ago delivering a speech on a budget issue. I was impressed with him then and I am even more impressed with him now. He's the type of guy that makes you feel instantly at ease and has a great presence.
I loved the way he recently brushed off the allegations of supporting a pro abortion group. That is the kind of reply to the press that Mr. Reagan would have given. Not that I would advocate Fred being compared to a Ronald Reagan, He's Fred and needs to be Fred.
The only complaint I have is that he has not been as vocal on issue stances as I would have liked to hear. I am supposing that he is waiting until his declaration to run. Which is fine. I'm looking forward to hearing from him what I already believe. That he is a true conservative.
Fred you have the Old Boy's vote.
