Thompson, God and the Republic Party


During the Family Values Voters Summit in DC last week, Fred Thompson received the only standing ovation of the night - that includes all the GOP candidates. The thing that bugs me is he got the standing ovation for being unprepared and not having a moral foundation.

From ABC News…

"I know the first hour, I would go into the Oval Office and close the door, and pray for the wisdom to know what was right…"

I shouldn’t be surprised that Fred Thompson, a 65 year old Republican man that claims a belief in Jesus, still doesn’t know right from wrong. He has to pray to know what is right? He doesn’t know? Not yet? Maybe if he studied the teachings of Jesus he wouldn’t need to pray about it.

Thompson also said he didn’t know what he would do for his first 100 days in office. What great news to rejoice over! Yet another Republican wanting to be President who doesn’t have the slightest inkling about what to do once they get into office. The nation is in the most trouble it has been in since the Civil War and Thompson doesn’t have a plan for his first hundred days? We certainly don’t need another slacker in office. Most other candidates and even a few of from the GOP have their first 100 days mapped out. Kucinich for example will start the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, cancel NAFTA and withdraw from the WTO. That is his FIRST DAY. Much more productive than Thompson’s waiting for his plan to be downloaded from a celestial golden throne.

The people who gave Thompson the standing ovation are probably the same dead-enders that are still supporting Bush. Leave it to the Republic Party
to support and encourage stupidity.

1. I'm still predicting
he'll be their nominee. They compare him to Reagan because he's an actor, they think he's tough because of his voice, and they would like to have a beer with him because he's just a dumb as they are.
