Bush does have faults of course but one that bothered me the most is that he seemed to do all he can to keep from having to fight in the trenches where a lot of the left wing dirty work is played. We need a guy that isn’t “too good” to get down and dirty when the need arises.

I don’t know Thompson on anything but what I see of him on screen. I don’t want the two to be confused but still, we need someone that will cut through all the horse crap and get directly to the point, someone that knows from right and wrong and base his decisions on that.

I like GW Bush, I voted for him both times but still, he let things happen that I think he could have stopped before they got started. The Democrats have gotten away with too much BS over the past few years and we need someone to show them the light. GW Bush is too much of a nice guy, too nice of a guy to deal with that filth the Democrats have elected in their own party. We need someone that can cut through all that filth and get the country back on track.

I have a feeling down deep that there are elements within our intelligence agencies, the CIA in particular that have been not only just undermining this administration but to actually take part in trying to over throw this freely elected government of this country, and yes, I think the Wilsons are very much a part of that attempt.

In my view, we have had way too much leaks to the press by those so called “intelligence agencies” and "government officials" that had no right to do so and should have been stopped the very first thing. And I am not talking about outing of any desk jockey either. I am talking about our classified intelligence programs being published in the press. That horse crap should have stopped the first thing and heads should have rolled but nothing happened.

So, if Fred Thompson is that guy, then that is whom I would be for as well. I just don’t know enough about him, who he really is to be really know but, like I said, what I see on the big screen, the guy he plays in them is the guy I think could do the job.

From what I've heard in interviews with people who know Fred Thompson, when he takes on a role, it isn't Fred Thompson playing that character, but rather that character being played as Fred Thompson. In other words, what you see is always Fred, whether as himself or someone else. Did I make any sense with that? (I like him)

This is true about CIA, State, and many other federal agencies. This will always be a problem for our side. One can make the argument that GWB should have done more to counter this, but such arguments as I've heard typically lack specifics. The federal agencies are filled with liberals, some of whom will do anything to oppose conservatism. Coming up with practical countermeasures to this reality is a lot harder than identifying the problem.
