Fred Dalton Thompson for President.
It may fall to another actor/politician to resurrect the GOP in 2008. Is there another candidate that has so clearly enunciated their views and shown themselves to be a true conservative?
As he stated on Fox News Sunday on March 11:
On the issues, Thompson said he:
—Is "pro-life," and believes federal judges should reexamine the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 which established a woman's right to an abortion.
—Opposes gay marriage, but would let states decide whether to allow civil unions. "Marriage is between a man and a woman, and judges shouldn't be allowed to change that."
—Supports President George W. Bush's decision to increase troops in Iraq. "Wars are full of mistakes. You rectify them. I think we are doing that now," he said. "We've got to give it a chance to work."
—Would pardon former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice now, rather than waiting until all his appeals are exhausted. Libby was found guilty of perjury and obstruction in the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
Libby is "bearing the political brunt of something that should've never come about," Thompson said, noting that "practically every witness at trial had inconsistent statements."
Has there ever been a more clear-cut choice?
Granted, I'm sure if his candidacy moves forward, there will be issues on which I disagree with the man, but for now he's the only potential candidate I could possibly vote for in 2008, period.
