Fred Thompson - a consistent political philosopher
He may not be a pro-life purist like Judie Brown of the American Life League, always going for the touchdown, aka that Constitional Amendment, but he's not a life-choicer like Mitt Romney either. He's a federalist or a believer in states' rights. Laura Ingraham brought up the fact that he was against government intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, well he can say he was consistent in his own head anyway. I myself was more into the whole angle of Terri could swallow on her own and so the laws in all 50 states say you have to feed a person by mouth. Her feeding tube was always a side issue anyway, they could have given her saline hydration by IV and as for his misguided comments about a federal law banning abortion meaning women and possibly their Moms and Dads going to jail, this had a silver lining. It allowed pro-lifers and in particular us bloggers to clarify the issue, hey, maybe Fred knew this all along. Anyway he has my vote if he's the nominee.

You know consistency is very important in my book and I happen to agree with federalism anyway so he really is the best there is in the Republican field. So he's a little laid-back, I worked with a chef once, he looked lackadaisical too (big library word) and seemed tired and indifferent but went home early alot 'cos he was able to bang out a monster list in no time. Don't let looks fool you and I want a calm person in the White House anyway.
