Things I Like About Fred

Fred Thompson has an opportunity to make a *REAL* difference because he's not exhibiting typical fence-straddling that most politicians do all their elected lives. He has the fortitude and the skills to bypass the politbureau ways of campaigning and the stupid line of questioning with which the media continually seems to be obsessed.

In this regard, he's like President Ronald Reagan.

These are a few things a like about Fred.
• Plain spoken
• A Federalist
• Not from privilege
• Doesn’t care for Ghandi (see here)
• Was born in Alabama
• Is a Southerner, by the grace of God
• Looks like a presidential candidate
• Is a good ole boy
• Recognizes he has to get the country “out of the ditch” Bush put us in

Look at it like this. Fred will be going from movies and TV (the real world according to Paris Hilton and George Clooney) to reality (the real world according to most Americans).
