Mark Alexander: About Fred Thompson

Mark Alexander of the Patriot Post knows Fred Thompson personally. In Patriot Post Vol. 07 No. 36; September 7^th 2007 he wrote:

… Traditionally, Presidential candidates have announced their intentions after Labor Day, but that tradition has give way to “campaignus infinitum ad nauseum.” Criticized by media talking heads for his “late entry”, Thompson express his doubt that voters will say, “That guy would make a very good president, but he didn’t get in soon enough.”

If you look at Fred Thompson’s congressional record and political career, you will find he is a man of thought, and he doesn’t always jump quickly into an issue or endeavor. However, when he does, he remains solid in his convictions. In other words, Mr. Thompson is not politically programmed. If he does not agree, it doesn’t matter if the issue has been brought up by a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or an Independent. Except for his specific stance/involvement concerning the McCain-Feingold bill, his record is clear cut and in compliance with his convictions upon the issues.
