The next Ronald Reagan...

Before I start my blog, let me please begin by publicly stating my outrage at the Bush Administration pardoning a felon, Scooter Libby. I immediately called some of my close Republican friends and even they couldn't defend Bush on this one. Just as I was beginning to ever slowly see the Compassionate Conservative emerge in our president, he pardons an individual who released the name of a CIA spy for political gain (felony #1) and then lied under oath (felony #2). He was then convicted by a jury of his peers to be guilty and spend the next 30 months in prison. Thanks to Mr. Bush, he will spend less time in jail then Paris Hilton. Scooter Libby will spend zero time in jail. It pays to be friends with George W. Bush. Whether you are Halliburton, the meat packing industry, corrupt health care, et cetera, as long as you are loyal to Bush, he will be loyal to you.

Now...

Of all the candidates running for president on the political side, I am generally not scared. John McCain is a nobel candidate who is at best a moderate that has a slight tilt to the right. He is fair and would make a fine candidate. Rudy is full of himself, cocky, and I think has no chance to win. Sam Brownback is a joke. Mitt Romney's approval rating is lower then Bush's. But the candidate that scares me the most is Fred Thompson. Fred Thompson is by far the most conservative, die hard, Republican candidate. He will take this country back fifty years. He was born in Alabama, has been a long time actor (most notably on Law and Order) and served one term as senator for the great state of Tennessee. Thompson is a Republican dream. He is in the Rush Limbaugh ilk. He is a tall, portly, man who slicks his greying hair back tight, while puffing away his cigar and drinking a beer. He is a southern gentleman who hates women, believes women should know their place, has publicly challenged Michael Moore to a fight, and on and on. Many Republicans have been angered at these "wusses" in Washington right now who are afraid to kick butt and take names. If a hippie was on fire, Fred Thompson wouldn't waste his own urine putting out the fire. Of course he is also outrageously conservative. He is so similar to Ronald Reagan it is scary. I truly believe Fred Thompson will be nominated for the Republicna ticket and if Hillary is elected on the Democrat side. We will be singing Hail to the Chief while Fred Thompson, on his NRA victory float, will be kissing babies and waving to the crowd. All I can hope is it is a long way to election day and long live Obama.
