Fred Thompson says everything he's told to. If the RNC tells Fred he likes abortion, then he likes abortion. If the RNC says lower safety standards for American Coal Mines.. then Fred's just the boy to get the job done.
He's going to be a great sequel to the Bush dictatorship.

His stance on Roe v Wade comes right out of a Law and Order episode. Maybe he's waiting for a new script.

No. Fred Thompson is a Republican. Only the Democrats take marching orders.

He's another actor-celebrity Ronald Reagan wannabee. His staff is preening him as Reagan reincarnated. His booming voice will be all it takes to win over many conservative lambs ... who only require a father figure to act as their guardian and protector in this big scary world.
I'm guessing his platform will be .... Fear, Fear, Fear ... but I can protect you. Sadly, that's all it takes to build a conservative base.
I'm going to make a prediction that Fred will flounder quickly. He is a man of little substance and that will be exposed quickly.

Actually he is the most conservative of all the candidates. He is dragging his feet however. I think he is cheap, and wants to see if there are many that trust such a right wing agenda. Double standard being the rule.
He is pro-life, which separates him from most running for the Republican party.

You are just waiting for the media to cover him instead of doing your own research. He has actually said more about his stance than any 2 candidates from either party. You just have to look for the statements.
