It appears to the average person (re: New Hampshire voters) that former Senator Fred Thompson was scared to join in with the rest of the GOP presidential candidates at last night’s debate in New Hampshire. Thompson, after months of saying he was running for president, finally announced he was running on his website and then on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Apparently, Thompson still believes he is still the bad actor he was kukking it up with Leno, instead of a serious contender for the most important job on earth.

For my money Thompson is a chicken. He could have announced much sooner than he did, especially with a debate coming up in the critical state of New Hampshire. The general consensus in the state is that Thompson snubbed them by not showing up. I agree. If Thompson is the great candidate he says he is then why didn’t he confront the rest of the candidates last night. A Thompson spokesperson stated the candidate did not have enough time to prepare for the debate. If that was the case what the hell has he been doing for the last three months.

Many people in the GOP have looked to Thompson as a savior is an election cycle that has no true conservative. Whether Thompson is a true conservative remains to be seen. What is apparent is that Thompson is not prepared to be a candidate let alone president. He also seems to be getting some bad advice, in particular skipping last nights debate. Being a chicken hawk like our current president is certainly not what this country needs, and if anyone in the GOP has any brains they will kick Thompson to the curb before he does them any damage. Personally I hope he stays in so we can watch the GOP further implode.
