The Spence is Killing Me: Fred Thompson Finds New Official for Unofficial Campaign
Fred Thompson announced that his official presidential campaign that does not officially exist is changing non-existent gears.
Thompson’s presidential campaign will still unofficially exist in an officially speculative sense, but now former Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham will act as Thompson’s campaign manager, at least until the campaign is officially announced — the unofficial date of that official announcement is set for post-Labor Day, according to an unofficial official for Thompson’s currently hypothetical campaign.
Here’s a photo of Thompson’s new officially unofficial manager for his unconfirmed campaign:
Wait, that’s Jon Lovitz. I think I have a picture of Abraham around here somewhere… oh yes, here it is:
With Thompson running strong in the Republican race, even though he’s not a formal candidate, look for Fred to be the first person elected president who never declared himself a candidate. It’s the best thing to do — when “none of the above” is the desire of so many, don’t rise to “above” status.
Michigan conservatives might cringe at Spence “open borders” Abraham running Thompson’s non-campaign, but as long as the campaign is unofficial, there’s no reason to officially worry. If you want to unofficially worry until Thompson’s official announcement, that’s your business.
In any case, I tend to lean toward the candidate who makes me the least officially ill for the shortest period of time, and so far that candidate is Fred Thompson — unofficially.

When are people going to wake up and realize this guy is no authentic conservative?

Fred’s voting record says he is an open-door conservative. The vote tells the story, not the speech.

Fred Thompson is by far the most fiscally conservative candidate out there now (if anyone pops up and says Ron Paul is conservative, I’ll shoot you for your stupidity). Whether or notFred’s a social conservative is mildly debatable, but not much. Newt isn’t running, and outside of him who else is there? Besides, Fred is totally electable. Anyone else?
Another thing, I’m really tired of people claiming he’s got a ‘trophy wife’. She’s hot, but so what? Would you respect him more if she looked like Hillary or Janet Reno? I doubt it. Besides, the winner gets the trophy. And as far as that goes, his ex-wife says he’ll make a great president (and so do his ex-girlfriends). Think you could find another candidate who could claim that?
If you don’t like him, fine. But if you have to lie to trash him, then you’re a closet liberal. Only they feel that the ends justify the means. It comes from living life off of your emotions, instead of your brain.
Fred was an awesome Senator, and will be an awesome President. If you don’t like him, that’s also fine. But then you’ll have two choices, either you won’t be able to vote, or you’ll have to vote for his likely competition – Hillary. Enjoy your moral quandary.
