Fred Thompson is not Ronald Reagan.
Yeah? And?
Someone will need to explain why a term and a half senator with a mediocre (at best) record deserves to be seen as the great conservative hope.
“Fred Thompson is not Ronald Reagan.”
Thank goodness as Ronald Regan has passed on.
Fred Thompson is not Ronald Reagan.
He’s better, and will stand on Ron’s broad shoulders.
No crap, Dick Tracy. Last I heard, RR isn’t exactly around to be President again. That being said, FDT looks like the best option for people who support Reaganist politics.
Sorry to any Hunter-trons, Tancredamatics, Huckabots, et. al. out there, but candidates have to be VIABLE. Your guys haven’t shown themselves to be so. In fact, quite the opposite. And the Paulists? A mental hospital.. its something worth considering.
Viables:
Giuliani
Romney
Thompson.
Of these, pick your best choice and start preparing for the REAL fight against HilObamWards.
A rigorous primary season that tests candidates is great, but we really really DON’T want to exhaust ourselves or our finances to have one. Of the above, I’m generally cool with either Romney or Thompson. Prefer Thompson on guns and Constitution issues, though.
Joe Dimagio is not Mickey Mantle.

Fred Thompson = Lazy? That’s the rep.
Absolutely correct. However, Thompson has clearly studied Reagan and how Reagan was able to both challenge conventional wisdom and appeal to conservative Democrats. As such, there will be enough similarities in style that the comparisons between the two men are inevitable.
