Fred Announces. (Finally)

You'll note over on the left sidebar (as if it wasn't long enough already) that I've put up an ad and a link to Fred Thompson's campaign site.

I've been considering this for a while now, and since he finally decided to make it official, I finally decided to endorse him myself.

Let me be perfectly clear: Fred Thompson is not the perfect candidate. There are things about his legislative past that I don't care for. I like what he's been writing and saying, but I wonder if he'll back up those words with actions in all cases if he does get elected. But I like his attitude. He has a distinctly non-politician mood, a "this is what I believe - if you don't agree, that's fine with me" air about him. And he's willing to use humor - even to the point of risking offense - to make his points. I like that, too.

I cannot say the same for any of the other candidates on either side of the political aisle.

So, once again I will not be so much voting for a candidate as voting against all the rest.

Run Fred, run!
