Better Dead Than Fred - Fred Thompson, That Is
Who could have expected that Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson would have to face down a new version of an old anti-communist slogan? Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening as alliterative liberals have drafted a memorable phrase in their effort to confront the corrupting politics of Fred Thompson:
Better Dead Than Fred
Fred’s not Red, but his policies do cause dread.
Fred Thompson is a pro-war, anti-choice, anti-environment, pro-pollution corporate lobbyist with an unremarkable short political career. No wonder he is provoking such strong opposition from Democrats and other progressives.
Is American really so superficial now that it’s willing to overlook all of Fred Thompson’s obvious flaws just because he has a gig as an actor on the TV show Law and Order?
As this bumper sticker says, no thank you, Mr. Thompson. America can do better.
