Why I'll probably vote for Fred Thompson

In passing I heard a bit of the u-tube 'debate' idiocy.

(As expected, the 'hosts' had managed to slip in some partisan
unbiased questions from Mrs. Clinton's campaign workers.
They even flew one in to be there in person, then claimed they never checked
to see who he was in advance. Will they never learn? Panel members were getting E-mail on stage about this clown. Todays world will not allow crap like that to be passed off anymore.)

Anyway... Fred Thompson said something that really struck a chord with me.
When asked by a Texanite on Utube about the candidates personal gun ownership, Thompson was asked directly.

He replied: "I own some guns. I'm not going to tell you what
kind or where they are".

Fred gets it.

Gooliani ducked the question because he made sure New Yawk citizens had a hard time owning guns, and he only talks about New Yawk. McCain said he knows all about guns from 'Da 'Nam and he doesn't own any now. Mitt 'Squirrel brain' Romney made sure to mention his son keeps two guns in his house.

Fred..... owns guns, and made it clear it's his business and nobody else's.

That's a good reason to consider voting for him. Let me tell you some others that are on my mind.

What is the Presidents job? I see the position as leadership. Not 'run the country', but 'lead the country'. I can see Fred Thompson as a leader.

Not because he has 'fire in his guts' as I've heard, whatever that means, but because he's thoughtful. He thinks about what he says, and says what he thinks, in that order. I like that.

While other candidates are getting angry or trying to find their new position of the week, Thompson is steady and forthright. He is solid in his history and dependable in his convictions. I like that.

Fred Thompson comes across to me as a person I could ask advice of, and who I would listen to because he's experienced and honest. I like that too.

If Fred Thompson was on TV in two years talking about a concern over national security I would probably begin with the thought that he was telling me the truth, rather than first trying to figure out how he's scheming. I like that.

And..... he owns guns and doesn't think it's anyone else's business what kind and where they are. Fred understands where government should end and my life and freedom begins. I really like that.
