There surely is a touch of Reagan in those quotes.

"Is it really in our country’s best interest to signal to the enemy that they probably only have to wait us out a little longer because congressional determination to defeat them is crumbling? Doesn’t such a resolution further diminish our chances for success at the very time our soldiers are preparing to go into battle? And finally, regardless of our politics is this the time to announce to the world that our president is 'on his own'?"

'Nuff Said!

I like Thompson, but it's a bit early for comparisons with Reagan. I've posted this several times, but the closing of Reagan's farewell address still brings tears to my eyes:
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.

And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after two hundred years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.

We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.

And so, good-bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

That's why I said there's "a touch" of Reagan. Fred's got a long way to go!

Thanks for posting that.

"After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood."

This says a lot.

realism and sincerity of Hollywood

All I need to know, and nothing Reaganesque about him.

At least he can say an entire sentence without bungling it, unlike our current Pretender-in-Chief.

It boils down to this:
No candidate is perfect, but Fred Thompson is the most conservative electable Republican.

Rudy is a lib and McCain is nuts.

We need a Thompson vs Guiliani chart to compare the two the same way there is that chart that compares Guiliani to Hilary Clinton.

I have had my fill of RINOs and politicians who have "seen the light" just in time to run for an office.
