Fred Thomspon may run for President
OK, you may be saying, another actor running for President?
Why?
Well, let's look at Fred's credentials. Fred was a practicing federal attorney for a number of years, and even questioned some of the Watergate burglars. Fred was an actor, of course, check out Law and Order, but also his roles in Die Hard 2, Hunt For Red October, No Way Out, In the Line of Fire, etc. Fred most importantly was a Senator for Tennessee. He did not stay too long. He got burned out with Congress, early, and had a family death occur. So, Fred took time off. He may come back and run for President.
Well, it may be strange, but check out the following people who were in public office......
Ronald W Reagan, 41st President of the United States
George Murphy
John Gavin
Shirley Temple Black
Clint Eastwood- Dirty Harry was mayor of Carmel.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California
Alan Autry
Sonny Bono
and a few more, I know doubt missed.
I say, why not Fred? People thought less of Reagan, and look how he went from a Goldwater (liberal labeled dark horse), to a two term President.
Never say never.

A friend of mine who is very connected politically doesn't think he has a prayer but I'm not counting him out. There are too many conservatives unhappy with the current Republican crop.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
My bad, Brian. Well, if life gets too down, I watch Jerry and his freakshow always makes me feel better about myself.
LMC, remember to tell that friend, never say never.....

I heard he was a big supporter of McCain/Feingold. If this is true, it's a definite downer, but minor compared to actually writing it. Also minor compared to negatives of the other GOP candidates. For now, I'd like to hear more.

WAS being the key word. At least Thompson wants to do something about the invasion of the US from the Border, well, our non-existent border. What do the rest say?
