Fred Thompson for President?? All I know about him is his Law & Order fame. Since he was a Senator in Tenn I would like to know...Do you feel he will be a good President?

He was a lot more than just a Senator. He was a lawyer, minority council during the Watergate hearings, and a US attorney. He first became an actor when he played himself in a true-story movie about a trial dealing with corruption in the Tennessee Governor's office.

I like him . . . but then I tend to be conservative.

Ah. I hadn't heard.

The question is, will he be driving the red pickup around on the campaign trail.

Default Happyappy, be a good boy now!

I read the article first thing this morning. I guess most people expected him to jump in eventually from the comments I've seen in various forums.

I'd like to know more about him. Having just moved here from Washington State, I'm lacking in knowledge about his views on various issues.

Diehard Fredhead here. If you're unfamiliar with this half-man, half-deity, here's a few quotes:

Regarding Congress's idiotic immigration reform bill, "No matter how much lipstick Washington tries to slap on this legislative pig, it's not going to win any beauty contests."

Regarding his penchant for the ladies (he was single and unattached) during his time on the Senate, "I chased the girls and the girls chased me."

In Die Hard 2 with Bruce Willis, "Rack'em, pack'em, stack'em."

Fred 2008 baby!
