Look For Fred Thompson to Run!!!

Put two and two together:

Thompson Likely Gone From "Law & Order"

Christian Conservatives Pledge Support For Thompson '08 Bid

Sometime this summer, Fred Thompson will enter the race and will be an immediate frontrunner! His presence and persona is Reagan-like.

he also has a Cancer issue that will need to be cleared up. I suspect that provided he can get a clean bill of health he will run....and I will vote for him.

I was all for W in the beginning. I think that I've about decided that he will go down in history as the worst President that we've ever had.

I am thoroughly disgusted. I am sure that I would have been even MORE disgusted with Gore or Kerry.

I think proxemity is blinding right now.

I do believe he has made 2 major mistakes.
1. appoiting Don Rumsfield SEC of Def.
2. letting the generals fight a vietnam style war in Iraq.

I think we were right to go in. however, we should be in a better position. I also think he should have explained more than he actually did, that our occupation would be in the area of 10 years.

Many, many mistakes...far too many to even mention.

First off, the Generals are not fighting ANY kind of war...certainly NOT a Vietnam style war. The lawyers are fighting the war in Iraq with all the legaleese and rules of engagement. We never had such insanity in Vietnam. We took care of business until the My Lai incident but then, the war was over when it was revealed.

actually the stratgy is very similar. then and now, we attaced an area where the enemy was consentrated, won the battle, then pulled back.

This came to light a couple of months ago. In fact this most recient troop surge and new campaign stratagy has been an effort to undo this. The goal now is, to take territory, then keep US Troop presence in place to hold the captured area.

Inflation is almost non-existent.

The stock market is at record levels.

Unemployment is also almost non-existent.

Three critical areas where President Bush has made mistakes:
Iraq
Immigration
Government spending.

But, overall the country is doing great. Take Iraq out of the mix, and all his other faults would be overlooked.

Ditto...

I compared the man to Reagan and was impressed beyond all description.

Proximity was the problem then.

I am seeing much better now.
