Dude,
You should have watched the interview. He had very explicit answers on that question and many others. He was not spinning anything. If asked a direct question he would answer directly. Hannity asked him "If Iran obtains a nuclear weapon would you make a preemptive strike?" He did not try to wiggle and just stated "Yes".
I also like his statement about career presidential hopefuls. (Quote) ""It's ultimately up to the American people what they think about me," Thompson said. "I've never desired to hold the office, particularly. In fact, not at all. But, at this stage of things, I sometimes think that I do desire the opportunity to do some things that only a president can do."
He said his ambivalence until now about the presidency ultimately might make him a better leader and, thus, a better fit for the White House than others.
"If a person craves power for the sake of power, if he craves the office for the sake of holding the office, he's got his priorities mixed up," Thompson said. "It's a desire to do something not to be something."
Here is another twist:
Republicans have gained a bit of ground in the Generic Congressional Ballot over the past month. But, the number of Republicans in the United States has declined to a new low. The number of Democrats is lower as well. There are now more unaffiliated voters than Republicans sparking talk of a possible third party run by Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg is reportedly willing to spend a billion dollars on his campaign and could create Electoral Chaos by deadlocking both the Electoral College and the House of Representatives. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of voters say they would be somewhat or very likely to vote for Bloomberg in 2008. (rasmussen)
Bloomberg is our worst nightmare.
The country needs someone in the middle that is worried about the country, not political power.....
