Fred Thompson's Christmas 'ad' to savor

...He's releasing a "campaign" video for Christmas that suits his political and movie character style perfectly...We don't even see the tall guy from Tennessee at all...Thompson's effort stands out in its simple eloquence and contrast from the other candidates' obvious Christmas ad wars that desperately -- but, oh, so politely -- want to plug the candidates and their families...

The video shows a montage of images of members of the US military serving in Iraq and elsewhere with a plea to Americans to keep them in their thoughts.

Another classy move from a class act.

Leadership...so sets him apart from rest of the herd, especially the cow from New York...it’s about ideas not goodies.

Excellent... shows that Fred Thompson knows what's important --> Others who are making a sacrifice for America and Iraq's freedom.

Go Fred !!!

I am a complete Fred Head too... I even got the T Shirt, and hat, and bumper stickers, and yard sign. I don’t even have a yard to put it in!

Seen it, love it!

Link.

Excellent message, in my opinion.

[Lurker]

I've sent multiple emails to the Thompson people in a futile attempt to get a yard sign and some bumber stickers.

How did you accomplish it?

Beautiful. Worth watching whether you like Fred or not.

And the Leftists are hammering the death out of the clip on YouTube. Even the Paulistinians are dogpiling.

Class!

Thanks.

"FYMB"....

Thank you for putting the emphasis where it belongs.

Thanks to all our service men and women.

For what it is worth. All you fellow Fred Heads have noticed how Rush has come up close to the line but not endorsed Fred.

Have you also noticed Mary Matalin is an Advisor to Fred?

Mary and Rush are good friends, are they talking about it? I do not know, but they are smart enough to know the base is longing for someone with the heart of a Reagan Conservative.

You should be able to purchase without a problem at the Official Fred08 Store.

Especially goodies paid for by someone else - us.

Shrillary's going to "give" us all these goodies, after taking the money out of our pockets to pay for them, after which time, we'll all be reduced to the poverty level and will need to accept the dole...

“Another classy move from a class act.”

Bears repeating!

Merry Christmas, all, especially our troops and domestic first resonders who will be on duty for Christmas.
