Ok then, I will be the first to admit sometimes to come to a conclusion about somebody just a bit before the jury comes back on them.
This isn't to say I haven't thought it through, I just might be flat out wrong from time to time. Actually some of the bloggers on here have really helped in pointing out his record and his background. Which was a start.
I really liked Huckabee, I think he is the conservative Christian's idea candidate. But, I have to say Thompson had a 100% record with the right to life folks, he seems from all opinion I could see of him, to hold a very conservative line. He is a big hulking guy who delivers his words with a lot of authority.
Most of my reluctance was the fact he is an actor and all his parts he is the same macho tough guy. This I feared could have been an act as many many an actor can act one way a be completely another way, example, the guy who was dad on the Brady Bunch, not in a million would I have thought he were gay.
Anyway, back to my point, after evaluating the facts, looking at Thompson's history, voting, record, country boy and Church background, seeing he was the first in his linage to get a College Degree, and see that he tows the conservative line as well as anybody out there, if he is nominated, I will be pleased to back him.
So he and Huckabee have my stamp of approval, I would still lean towards Huckabee, but Thompson is looking like a much better candidate to me, he just needs to overtake Rudy, which in my opinion he eventually will.
