The following is the text and video of the speech given by Senator Fred Thompson at the RNC. It is a great speech and makes me wonder, if he had talked this way during the primaries we may have a different candidate right now.

Bump for later. I couldn’t get the video to pull up on the convention site a few minutes ago - it showed me Lieberman (who actually wasn’t bad) no matter where I clicked.
Fred was incredible!!! Great job.
Fred rocked!!
(He was my first choice - sniffle)
bump
Fred’s speech was truly inspiring for me. It really reinforced the difference in character and experience between the two candidates. He put all of us in the cell with McCain and helped us understand what kind of decisions McCain makes under pressure. I don’t agree with McCain on everything, but I will never question his intentions or his honor. With the promise of Palin to lead us in the future, I will vote the ticket.
No way, no how, nobama..
“Fred rocked!!”
The whole program rocked. It was very upbeat. Not the endless parade of victims and special interest groups like the first day of the DNC. I feel sorry for anyone conservatives who missed it.
Fred was this way because he more intensely believes in McCain in the Oval Office than he believes in himself in the Oval Office.
I wonder when he came to this searing realization.
As a FredHead, I think you’re right. And I believe it was during his campaign. He discovered he just didn’t have it in him. That’s why the campaign fizzled.
Now why the hello couldn’t Fred show that kind of energy when he was running for president back during the primaries?
And I can say without fear of contradiction that she [Governor Sarah Palin] is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose … with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt.
She and John McCain are not going to care how much the alligators get irritated when they get to Washington, they’re going to drain that swamp.
And you better believe the opposition is scared silly. Yeehah!
