Fred Thompson,  President 2008

Fred Thompson Watch: Why?

Fred Thompson on Abortion and Family
The question has to be asked:

Why would an almost 65 year old former Senator with two young children (one less than a year old) bother with running for the Presidency?

Wouldn’t his family be better off with him at home or a less time consuming job? So, he can spend more time with his children and grandchildren (from his first wife)?

Just asking…….

Do you think anyone at the National Right to Life Conference for which the video above was filmed will wonder the same thing?

    Thats a very good question. Do you think it might be because he cares about the direction in which this country is going? Could it be that there are still a few patriotic people in America that want their country back, and are willing to sacrifice a bit of their lives to do it?
    Think about it my friend before you spout innuendos about a persons convictions?

    Or is the fact that he places his own political ambitions over his family?

    An interesting question to ask, especally in light of Thompson’s past cancer problems.

    Will he be asked?

    If he thought it was his patriotic duty to run, he would have already announced instead of playing coy so he doesn’t have to debate which is becoming more obvious by the day. Thompson will be crushed in a debate with Rudy, McCain, Huckabee, Hunter, and some of the others. He doesn’t think fast enough on his feet from what you see in his interviews when the person doing the interviewing has to lead him to the answers.

    Since Karl Rove, Mary Matlin, and George P. Bush support Thompson along with Frist, I would say he has been put out there as a puppet of the Bush White House. No matter what he says on Immigration with George P. Bush writing letters for Thompson, I for one, will never believe he is serious about Immigration. Thompson was steamrolled by Sen Glenn on Chinagate so why would I think he would have a backbone now. He looks and sounds terrible. Seems too many people think he is the DA he plays on Law and Order when he only has to learn a few lines. He mumbles now when interviewed.

    What Fred brings to the table reminds me of what Bob Dole brought in 1996, minus the extensive Senate experience.

    We have a couple of true rocket scientists here.

    Perhaps, if you did your homework more and flapped your lips less you would know that Fred announced and thoroughly explained every question your feeble little brain has come up with….Including Blackeyefans drool except for the wimpy character assassination of course.

    Tell you what, why don’t we all meet and you two can run your mouth like this for as long as you can.
