Thompson for President

From Actor to Senator to President; I'm Game

Senator Fred Thompson is sending out an exploratory committee to see whether or not it would be viable for him to run for President in 2008. In my opinion he would not only be a good choice for President but he is probably the best choice we have for President.

Thompson, a Senator from Tennessee was born in Sheffield, Ala. in 1942. He attended Memphis State University in 1964 where he graduated; he was admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1967 and commenced the practice of law; was the assistant US attorney from 1969 to1972; minority counsel, Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (“Watergate Committee”) from 1973 to1974 (pretty impressive for a 21yrld); special counsel to Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander in 1980; special counsel, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 1980 to1981; special counsel, Senate Intelligence Committee in1982; member, Tennessee Appellate Court Nominating Commission from 1985 to1987; actor; elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in the November 8, 1994, special election to fill the unexpired portion of the term ending January 3, 1997, left vacant by the resignation of Albert Gore, Jr.; took the oath of office on December 2, 1994; reelected in 1996 for the term ending January 3, 2003; not a candidate for reelection in 2002; held chair, Committee on Governmental Affairs (One Hundred Fifth and One Hundred Sixth Congresses; One Hundred Seventh Congress [January 20, 2001-June 6, 2001]); Mr. Thompson resumed his acting career.

So although Mr. Thompson no longer sits on any committees, even though he no longer works anywhere near Washington DC for that matter I would still not only vote for the man but I would campaign for him; and I’ll tell you why. Just look at the above resume’ and then watch him in action on the Senate floor, look at his track record in voting and last of all look at the difference between his acting and his government work face, there isn’t any, they’re the same which means that he’s incredibly honest or the perfect actor and there isn’t one. (you’ll have to get out the VCR to do what I just described)

Oh I’ve heard the stories about when Mr. Thompson was running for the Senate and he bought a brand new red pick up truck and drove around Tennessee with Al Gore following behind on his moped while Tipper rode the skate board, (she probably needed the exorcize anyway, don’t know wasn’t my joke) anyway supposedly one guy says ”ey man, wuts see shuuten dem dur trash bags fur anyhow?” My sincerest apologies to my friends in Tennessee for the past use of verbiage, it was completely unnecessary to get my point across but realism is just so fun sometimes. The reason for bringing that story up is that he had the will power to campaign in a state that he wasn’t born in.

Now you have to figure that if you were going to run for an office as high as Senator that you would run in the state in which you were born; heads up Mrs. Clinton. But Mr. Thompson ran against Al Gore who surprisingly was born in Washington DC so he was a transplant himself. Personally I think the reason he won that race was the same reason the Republicans were winning all over the US at the time and that was that the people were sick of the Clintons and anyone who were related to the Clintons. This however doesn’t explain Hilary’s climb up the ladder but that’s another story, one that I hope not to have to tell.

Today’s America is filled with too much debauchery; if you read some of my earlier blogs I have written plenty about it. I’ve written about the Seven Deadly Sins and how someone is messing with them. I’ve written about God and how much it means to me and how everyone should take a closer look at Him in their lives. I’ve written about allot of things but I’ve kept on track when it comes to my mission and that is to spread His word and to speak my mind on whatever issue is important to me on any given day. Well today it’s Fred Thompson and I think he should run for President.

From another blog site from which there were thousands of postings just like the following, this is just a random picken’s that I plucked out and copied:

“Fred Dalton Thompson is a man of integrity, strength of character, intelligence and experience. He was a great senator for Tennessee during his time in Washington. We were fortunate to have his wonderful service to our great Volunteer state. Our country would prosper and regain its military strength and world-wide respect under this great American as the leader of the free world”

So as you can see I’m not the only one that feels that Fred Dalton Thompson would make a great 47th President in 2008.

The only way to help this country is to not spend dollars outside of the US. Don’t go on vacation to Europe and give your money to the French or the Germans anymore. Don’t give it away to large corporations like Visa and MasterCard so that the money goes out of the country anyway; keep it here in the US where it belongs. Take your family to the Grand Canyon but drive there and stay at the mom & pop places. Spend your vacation money at small business’ that make America grow instead of making big business grow because those dollars of yours are not staying here in the US; they go to Saudi Arabia when you buy certain types of gasoline, they go down to butthole boy when you buy Citgo Gas and I think it’s only Atlantic Richfield who at least we’ve merged with the British Petroleum Company. If our dollars are going to go out of the US I rather see them go to the UK than the Middle East. Now, ask me why and it’s because of us having to spend so much money fighting a war on terror which is something that Fred Thompson also knows allot about.

Not just because he’s an actor and has played all of those really cool aircraft carrier movies, no; because he was on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee which are to the people who know their shit, to put it bluntly, a bad ass Senate-man. He’s dinned with world leaders and he’s been in our Strategic Command Center. He’s acted with the likes of the Baldwins to the Zegwellers and it cracks me up that in one person’s website I read that he always portrays a roll of the “big head redneck” where he comes to the rescue at the last minute usually in a military or political role. Hmmm, and that sometimes, even as he started his acting career, he played himself allot; well duh! That’s who he is, that’s what he does for a living, or did anyway.

With any help though he’ll be back and hopefully he can make a few extra dollars making a movie called “While I Was in Office” and I can help produce it. We’ll keep it under wraps until the Senator is out of office and then show off his amazing talents for bringing down the Taliban once and for all, paying off the National debt, bringing down gasoline prices and then seeking out and destroying our worst enemy, well ok we’ll leave old Hillary alone.

That’s the Lazlo Report for March 12, 2007
