Fred Thompson brought his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination to Dubuque on Wednesday...
His message was for his party to return to the values it embraced in 1994, when he was first elected to the U.S. Senate. The party in those days stood for respect for the rule of law, market economics, respect for life and the right to bear arms, he told his luncheon audience of more than 100 meeting at the Best Western Midway Hotel.
"The American people were receptive of us in '94," Thompson said. "They haven't changed their minds."
Describing himself as a "common sense conservative," Thompson, 65, said he decided to enter the presidential race because he is concerned about what the future holds for America's children, including his daughter Hayden, 3 1/2...
Demonstrating his adherence to Republican values, Thompson drew applause by citing his "100 percent pro-life voting record in the Senate," and trying to "make sure justices don't make up laws as they go along."
As president, Thompson said his top priority will be the nation's security and prosperity. Americans need to face the fact that the war on terror is a long-term proposition. "We can't afford to send a message that we are weak and not united," he said.
Chastising American courts for "giving al-Qaida as much rights as ordinary Americans," Thompson, a one-time assistant U.S. attorney who most recently played the role of a district attorney in television's "Law & Order," said the government has to "adjust" the nation's court system...
America's porous borders are both a social and security issue that must be a national priority in order to solve, he said. He identified cities that declare themselves sanctuaries and colleges that offer free tuition as "magnets" that attract illegal immigrants.

What you have here is a candidate who won’t pander. He may the be LAST of his kind that we will ever see. If we do not elect Thompson for president, we will never see a quintessentially American president again. We WILL see European-lite, however.
More and more I like what I hear from Thompson.

Well then you must be an ill-informed, anti-Christian, abortion loving RINO who only sees what you want to see and only like him because he was on Law & Order. Well all know he's lazy, boring and couldn't debate his way out of a paper bag.

You forgot that he’s bald and grumpy.
Having Fred in the White House will be like having Davy Crockett back in Washington. He is a no-nonsense leader who doesn’t wait for pollsters but follows the maxim: “Be sure you are right and then go ahead.
Fred was waiting until I finished making bald and grumpy cool . You have a green light Senator Thompson .

It is on my desktop, that’s where!
rofl! Glad you finally gave the green light!
I have a real soft spot for bald men. As I've said before, all the men I have ever loved have been bald! (dad and hubby)
I wish!
Nice to see a real American running for Rep candidate. Also would be nice to see Thompson and Rudy in a cage fight for the nomination... and having Davy Crockett in the White House wouldn’t be so bad
