Politics: December 2007 Archives

For years now I have been wondering who would be the GOP candidate for the upcoming '08 elections. I'd always guess that McCain would jump in, but I really don't think he has the personality to really be a great President. I think he has some great visions on how to handle Iraq, but the overall package is somewhat lacking. I'd always been hoping that Fred Thompson would consider running and when he finally announced his candidacy I was super stoked. Yes he was a little late, but I think he had what it would take to become the next President of the United States. The fiscal conservative and small government ideas really play well with me. Well, Fred has somewhat stumbled out of the gate and I think it has to do with the fact that his people were really playing him up that he was the "chosen one" and that he was expecting the nomination to be given to him. I don't think he pressed hard enough and the poll numbers show that today. You let me down Fred. I think you've missed your opportunity.

We need to find someone that will lead this country for the next 4 years and that can't be a Democrat!
