Fred Thompson To Run

[Dr. Shane]

Fred Thompson running for president

Quote:

Thompson, the "Law and Order" star and former U.S. senator from Tennessee, has been publicly coy, even as people close to him have been furiously preparing for a late entry into the wide-open contest. But the advisers said Thompson dropped all pretenses on Tuesday afternoon during a conference call with more than 100 potential donors, each of whom was urged to raise about $50,000.

Quote:

Now a senior analyst for ABC News Radio and substitute host for the legendary Paul Harvey, Thompson savaged the White House immigration proposal in a commentary last week. "A nation without secure borders will not long be a sovereign nation," he said. "No matter how much lipstick Washington tries to slap onto this legislative pig, it's not going to win any beauty contests."

Oh boy...another "Ronald Regan"

That would be a good thing, but I am not sure that is the case. I don't know enough about Fred Thompson yet to make an accurate assessment. He does present himself well.
