Fred Thompson 2008

It's official. Carnaby Fudge is 100% behind Fred Thompson. I've been waffling on my choice for president for some time now, but Fred's latest has me decided:

I am not consumed by personal ambition. I will not be devastated if I don't do it. I want the people to have the best president they can have.
...
But nowadays, it's all about fire in the belly. I'm not sure in the world we live in today it's a good thing if a president has too much fire in the belly.

That's what I've been looking for. No career politicians. Nobody who will lie and flip flop to get elected. You know, I'd settle on a candidate who had that, was honest, and decent, even if I didn't agree entirely with their politics. It's a bonus for me that I seem to agree with Fred on policy issues.

Stickwick and I have long thought that a better way to choose the president would be for the population at large to simply draft someone who was right for the job. Kinda like jury duty. You're chosen, then you have no choice but to serve for two to four years. No campaigning, no ambition, just the right person at the right time. We don't have that, but we do have Thompson.

Go Fred!
