I absolutely agree. It should be Fred in 2008. I hope the country can see it.
Sound advice!
There are only 2 conservatives running for the GOP nomination. Fred is the only one polling in double digits.
I like it when the process of elimination makes what seemed to be a difficult decision easy.
Like Fred. He’s my second choice. I think Hunter would make a better president, though. Duncan’s got my vote.
This is what I’m encouraging everyone I know to do. The media has done a good job of steering attention away from Fred. I hope that those who are yet to decide on a candidate will give Fred a closer look. There is a lot to like.
It’s got to be Fred.

Amen to that.
Fred has a plan and he is sticking with it.
Seems to be working better every day.
Good advice, yes. We need to write letters to the editor because if the MSM (including FNC) has their way, no dual-income busy family will ever hear of him.
One of the things that bothers me the most while traversing the Internet is the “he’s old” argument. What that says to me is that generations have been so overly-separated from each other in families that there is no longer respect for the wisdom of elders. God forbid that I had stayed with the vague liberal views I held at 18.
The candidate to worry about is Romney. Soon Rooty will fall from his perch. The more Pubbies learn about Huckabee, the less they will support him. Thompson will be able to fill that gap. Then Thompson should talk about what damage liberals have done to the country. He could talk about the hamstringing of our intelligence agencies and military, the crushing weight of entitlements-not just in terms of dollars but also dignity and destruction of self-reliance, the constant destruction of unifying societal norms by divisive liberals, the absolute lack of pride about our country, the war between races and genders instigated by liberals, the crushing weight of taxes on the middle class, the impending loss of the English as the dominant language, the constant threat of Liberal meddling in the American family, let alone the constant meddling of the government in every facet of American life.
I appreciate your point but after a year on the campaign trail it's evident a vote for Hunter will be a vote for Rudy or Romney. Conservatives either settle on support for Fred, because he's at double-digits, or we'll be getting a liberal or a waffler.
We are almost to the one month mark before primaries begin. I wish the frontrunners were Thompson and Hunter and all we had to worry about was who the better conservative is. I would feel good about the direction of the country if either man won.
Things did not work out that way. Thompson has to be supported now. Tell every conservative and every republican you know. Let them all know that there is a real alternative to Rudy and Mitt and there is no shame, only pride, in voting for a conservative. Tell them you know Thompson can beat Hillary. Show them the videos of all the candidates. People need to see and hear what these candidates really stand for. The choice is much easier once you understand all of their history.
I do not want to have to go to vote in the general election and have to vote for a republican who supports gun grabbing, supports abortion or likes amnesty. We are going to get one or more of those if Thompson doesn’t win the nomination.
Go Fred!
“I absolutely agree. It should be Fred in 2008. I hope the country can see it.”
Ditto that. And to tell ya the truth, I fully believe if we elect one of the other bums, republican or democrat, then our nation is done... stick a fork in it.
A vote for Hunter is a vote for Hunter. I won’t be strong-armed into changing my vote to satisfy some grade school popularity contest.
