What is More Important Stature or Stance?

Seems that there is now quite a bit of interest in Fred Daulton Thompson. From my site meter I can see what the real important issues are. Google's referring search terms can be very telling.

Using this very unscientific data, I have determined that Fred's stature is more important then Fred's stance on the issues; Fred's height, his age, where he went to college and how many times he has been married and whether he is Catholic or not are much more important than his stance on abortion, gun control, taxes and the death penalty.



Here is what I have found

Fred was born in Sheffield, Alabama on August 19th 1942. That would make him 64. When Fred Thompson puts his hand on the bible during the inauguration, he will be 3 years younger than when Ronald Reagan took office as the oldest president at the age of 69. McCain is 70 for those keeping score.

What Thompson lacks in experience vis-a-vis Reagan, he makes up in height. Fred Thompson is 6' 6" or 5 inches taller than Reagan. And a full 11 inches taller than McCain and 12 inches taller than Hillary Clinton.

Thompson has been married the same amount of times as Reagan. He is currently married to Jeri Kehn married June 2002 and they have one daughter. He was married to Sarah Lindsey from 1959 to 1985 and they had two boys and a daughter together. They divorced. He has five grandchildren.

He is not Catholic. The 106th Congressional Record has Church of Christ (Stone Campbell) listed as his church affiliation. On the Issues lists him as Protestant since 2002. That was the year he was remarried.

Senator Thompson went to Memphis State University in 1964 and Vanderbilt University in 1967.

Fred Thompson worked as a shoe salesman. Jack Reagan, Ronald's Dad, was a shoe salesman. Fred's dad was a used car salesman. Which makes both dads more noble than 95% of the politicians in Washington.

History Lesson for Conservative Kids

Hillary Clinton is no Ronald Reagan

In a recent John Zogby poll, he claims the world would select Reagan to help get the US through this time of terror.

Roosevelt, Kennedy and Lincoln were also listed. But perhaps the president with the best record at fighting Islamic Terrorism was Thomas Jefferson. Yes our founding fathers encountered the evils of radical Islam fought it and won.

This poll also suggests that Hillary is the most Reagan-like candidate.

The liberals hijacked Christmas to make it winter haven holiday. The liberals hijacked the 10 commandments.
The liberals hijacked Washington's birthday and Lincoln's birthday. We now have Presidents Day. Now the liberals are now trying to hijack Reagan and replace him with Hillary. Laughable. Rude.

Reagan was principled - Hilliary follows the wind.

Reagan was lovable - Hillary is an ice queen.

Reagan was engaging and humorous - Hillary is cold and calculating.

I do not think that I need to go on. I can not think of one attribute that is even remotely similar.

Kids, liberals will try to rewrite history, but make no mistake there is absolutely no comparison between Ronald Reagan and Hillary Clinton.
