C. Montgomery Burns for President '08!

Wow! Fred Thompson finally officially entered the race for the Presidency in 2008. The race should get really interesting now! NOT! Why is this important? From where I sit, he isn’t offering anything any different than what we already have. The only difference is that he actually has some foreign policy experience. Other than that, he’s a war hawk just like the administration that we have now who has bastardized the term “conservative” so that he can pay lip service to the Republican Party base.

I look at it this way: if I walk into McDonald’s and ask for a hamburger with the mustard placed on the bun before the ketchup, does it really taste any different than the hamburger that came with the ketchup before the mustard? No, it’s still a ground up, low quality cut of beef loaded with preservatives and sodium that will most likely kill me at an early age if I continue to eat it on a regular basis, despite the fact that it may taste good. Likewise, Fred Thompson will run this country into the ground both literally and figuratively if he is elected. He is the mustard-first hamburger to Bush’s ketchup-first burger. Same poison, different warning label.

Oh, you want proof? Here you go! This is Thompson on Fox News during his first interview after his official announcement. According to this interview, he thinks that we should all back up the current foreign policy course, no matter how bull-headed and wrong it may be. Does he think that we are lemmings? My admiration for his role as District Attorney Arthur Branch on “Law and Order” aside, Fred Thompson is an asshole!
