Fred on Mark Levin

Fred was on Mark Levin's show yesterday. Blogs For Fred Thompson has a link to an audio recording of the interview.

They covered taxes, his campaign, poor media coverage, and the various Right to Life endorsements.

One quote that struck me was when talking about why he was running for President, Fred said, "I'm doing this for policy reasons, more than anything else." When people talk about the "fire in his belly" (which they continually mistake) this is what they need to understand. I think most candidates, if they were honest, are doing it to leave a mark on the world, or for the power. Fred is doing this because he is seeing the country go a direction that he believes is wrong and he feels that he can do something about it.
