So Fred Thompson isnt going to debate but he'll run an ad during the debate. Aint that ducky?
Who is this buffoon anyway? We've got to step back from the day-to-day
political game and ask ourselves what we really know about any of these
guys and whether we know them well enough to trust them at such a
critical moment. Not just what they say but what they've done and how
they've behaved in the past. Do we now award the Presidency to the
candidate with the cleverest media strategy? What has Howard Baker's
protege actually DONE in his life that would give us any confidence in
his rhetoric? I like bold, conservative statements as much as the next
guy but we've had a phoney 'compassionate conservative' in the White
House for the last seven years and have had to eat alot of crow while
he expanded the welfare state mightily and handed out goodies to all
his Chamber Of Commerce business buddies. Let's not get screwed again
by some slickly packaged unknown quantity. The only candidates running
this year who have been promenantly in the public eye long enough to
have shown, by their actions, what kind of leader they would be are
Rudy Giuliani and (God help us) Hillary Clinton. The rest could be
anything, and we've had twenty years of damage to our country by
chiseling, self-agrandizing, big government incompetents from both parties. Let's not
risk it again.
