A lot has been said in the past two days about Fred Thompson and a survey he filled out in 1994.
Personally, I don't care how he responded to a survey in 1994. I don't care what any politician said back then. It was a different world back then, for me anyway. I wasn't married, I had no kids, and my political beliefs were a hell of a lot more liberal back then (not completely though, so don't stroke out on me).
What I care about, in 2007, is what the candidates say now. What I care about is where they stand on the issues that concern me today, not the issues from 13 years ago, even if the "issue" has the same definition today as it did 13 years ago.
Is Fred Thompson the best candidate for President? Right now, I think so. Why? He's the only one I've heard recently, that hasn't said something that was just plain stupid.
