Maryland for Fred Thompson

One of the things I would do for his generation is protect them from our generation. Great line from Fred on Social Security. Fred is so spot-on on Social Security. He is head and tails above all the other candidates on the issue, Democrat or Republican.

Another question on spending. “What would you reduce spending on?” Thompson says, “It’s a target-rich environment.” Sometimes, despite myself, I just love the hell out of Fred.

The candidates have each submitted a video to be shown, and Thompson’s is a shocker. It features (a much younger) Romney saying he supports legal abortion and (a much heavier) Huckabee saying he’d consider various tax increases.

Cooper scraps plans for a break. “Sen. Thompson, what’s up with that?” “I wanted to give my buddies here a little extra airtime,” Thompson says.
