I've formed a theory that the absurdly long Presidential campaign being inflicted on the American populace is a deliberate ploy to turn people off politics altogether. After all, if the population ends up completely disengaged from the political process, there'll be none of that unpleasant answering for your actions.

He's being pitched by many as a tough guy and defender of traditional Republican values. Whether it's true or not. Here's my take on Fred Thompson:
