I find this really strange, the republicans claim to like manly men, but Bush is one of the biggest mama's boys in history. Mommy and poppy Bush propped him up for years, his biggest accomplishment, before he traded on the family name in Texas, was pulling himself out of a bottle in his 40s, which I admit, is admirable, but just being an ex drunk doesn't make someone qualified to be president, as we have learned to our eternal sorrow.
Not to mention he was a male cheerleader, and his family connections got him out of serving in Vietnam, if he had a D in front of his name, could you imagine what Rush and company would be saying about him?
As for Fred Thompson, I like him as an actor, he has a great screen presence, and I'm sure he would be a better president than Bush, but that's not saying much, in fact, it's pretty much being completely silent.
