Actor Fred Thompson considers White House bid.
I can't say he'd be at the top of my list for candidates, but I'll give him props for stating his stance plainly on some of the hot topics right off the bat.
Also, he handled that airport crisis pretty damn well in Die Hard 2!

Only if McCoy is his running mate. Better yet, Angie Harmon, she is a fox.

Good thinking, what we really need is another unqualified 'plain speaker' who has no idea what he's doing to **** the country up some more. Heaven forbid we elect someone who has any sort of qualifications to do the job or who doesn't grossly oversimplify every complex issue so that we feel we can understand everything and then shake our fists and whine about 'the government' just doesn't get it.
Ask someone who knows anything about politics who to vote for, would you? The idea that your vote and mine are roughly approximate sickens me to the point of nearly falling over.

Qualifications? He's got almost 8 years in the Senate, he was a lawyer, and was on the Watergate council. Hell, he's got just as much background as some. Not that I'd vote for him, I disagree with most of his stances. I just liked the fact that he doesn't double-talk and hem and haw around a subject.
And just to sicken you further, a good portion of my family generally asks me who they should vote for as they don't bother in the least bit in keeping track of politics. I wonder who I'll tell them to vote for come next election...

He was a politician first, and for a long time, so it's not like he doesn't deserve at least a listen to what he has to say. I mean, you have to give him a little more credit than someone like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Ronald Reagan.

No, in fact, it's exactly like that. He doesn't deserve a listen to what he has to say. Being a miserable failure as a Senator and then being a mediocre actor doesn't warrant listening to what he has to say.

He's done guest shots on SVU, but he's primarily on the original L&O.

Yeah, all of his positions are so very different from what's going on in the current administration. He's a real right-wing nonconformist, he is.

On the issues, Thompson said he:
# Is "pro-life," and believes federal judges should overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision as "bad law and bad medical science."
# Opposes gay marriage, but would let states decide whether to allow civil unions. "Marriage is between a man and a woman, and I don't believe judges ought to come along and change that."
# Opposes gun control, and praised last week's 2-1 federal appeals decision overturning a long-standing handgun ban. "The court basically said the Constitution means what it says, and I agree with that."
# Supports President Bush's decision to increase troops in Iraq. "Wars are full of mistakes. You rectify things. I think we're doing that now," he said. "Why would we not take any chance, even though there's certainly no guarantees, to not be run out of that place? I mean, we've got to take that opportunity and give it a chance to work."
# Would pardon former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice now, rather than waiting until all his appeals are exhausted. Thompson is a fundraiser for Libby's defense.

Your flame fizzles. You lose 5 mp.
I'm still waiting for Ross Perot to run again. I probably wouldn't vote for him but I would talk about it a lot.

Okay, assuming all of this is true, then I gave my aforementioned obligatory listen, and don't like him.
Sounds like he's just another Good Ol' Boy. Decent actor, though.

I don't believe he has the intestinal fortitude to handle terrorists because he's always advising McCoy to offer a deal with like half the show left. This sort of noncommittal behavior is not what this country needs in Iraq.
