If all the rumors can be believed, former senator Fred Thompson is going to toss his hat into the ring around July 4th. Here's what to expect from the spin doctors:
Republicans- He's pro life, starting at conception
- He's for family values
- He is a true conservative; you can count on it
- He was a tough co-chief counsel at the Watergate hearings
- He is against corrupt Democrats AND corrupt Republicans (see above)
- He is on the legal defense board of the much persecuted Scooter Libby
- He served honorably in the United States Senate 8 years
- Like Ronald Reagan, he was an actor and is good at communicating
- He is well known and inspires trust
Democrats
- In high school he got his girfriend pregnant and had a Tennessee-style shotgun wedding
- He eventually divorced his wife and married a cutie 24 years his junior, younger than his own daughter
- For 17 years he worked as a Washington lobbyist for big corporations
- He was a lazy senator who has no legislation to his credit
- He will be 65 in August and has incurable cancer
- Unlike Ronald Reagan, he does not have 8 years experience as governor of the nation's most populous state
- He was of prime draft age during Vietnam, but he dodged the draft
- He knows nothing about foreign policy, defense or terrorism (other than being against it)
Same guy? Yup.
