Conservative State Leader Supporting Thompson
MCLEAN, Virginia, Dec. 28 /Standard Newswire/ -- Today Iowa State Representative Gary Worthan announced his support of Fred Thompson for President of the United States. Representative Worthan joins a strong Thompson organization in Iowa already in place and headed by Iowa State Chair Congressman Steve King and Co-Chairs Representative Kraig Paulsen and Representative Sandy Greiner.
"I've been impressed with Fred's ability to boil the issues down to the essential items, without a lot of hyperbole," stated Representative Worthan. "He just plain tells the truth. We're in a long hard struggle and there are no easy answers like some of the other candidates are coming with."
Gary Worthan represents the conservative 52nd District, serving Buena Vista and Sac Counties. He has served in the Iowa House of Representatives since 2007, when he won a special election to replace the deceased Mary Lou Freeman. Worthan currently serves on several committees in the Iowa House - Agriculture, Public Safety, Transportation and Veterans Affairs. He also serves on the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Subcommittee. Representative Worthan has three sons. His oldest son Ryan is a Major in the Army and earned a Silver Star for serving in Afghanistan and two Bronze Stars for serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shannon is a Captain in the Army and earned a Bronze Star in Iraq.
"I am pleased to have the support of Representative Gary Worthan," said Senator Thompson. "I admire his leadership in the Iowa General Assembly and his commitment to conservative principles. Representative Worthan understands the increasing challenges we are facing as a nation both domestically and internationally and the need for strong consistent conservative leadership."

U.S. Congressman Steve King, State Chair State Representative Kraig Paulsen, Co-Chair State Representative Sandy Greiner, Co-Chair State Representative Clel Baudler Former State Senator Bob Brunkhorst State Representative Royd Chambers State Representative Jeff Kaufmann State Representative Jamie Van Fossen State Representative Gary Worthan

Go FRed Go!
He has some organizational people in Iowa backing him, no doubt about it. There are a few dingdongs on this site claiming he doesn’t have the organization but when it comes down to it, his apparatus is better than anyone elses when the names are laid out.
A few?
You generous devil you!
There are scores of them....each certain they're exquisitely clever for repeating DBM memes like "lazy" and "fire in the belly."
There are a number sucked into the MSM narrative that was written months ago and they are too thick to realize it.
Most are your basic rino Republicans hanging out on a “Conservative” website.
Another endorsement! Great! It is also good to see the fund raising goal for Fred is almost reached! I just hope that every Fred supporter who has not donated will try to at least give whatever they can to help Fred now when he really needs it. No matter how little the donation, every little bit helps too! Fred is the first candidate that I have donated to. I have often volunteered my time to help in various candidate campaigns, but never actually donated cash to any candidate. I hope others who have never donated but really want to see Fred win will make a donation. GO FRED! :)
Remember this time and place.
I am going out on a limb here, IMHO Fred is our next President.
It was those on the "Freep" that noticed him 1st and helped via $ or time. (No moderator this is not a solicitation, take a chill pill please...).
You have changed the course of history.
We, the fed up with The Gang of 14, Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, The Border and Hastert's Spending, have sent a message.
We want our part of Reagan Conservatism back.
We are taking our Party back, we have always been proud to call ourselves Conservatives, we want to be able to call ourselves Republicans Again.
WE will not let the Dominant Media shove a RINO down our throats!
The Sunday Talks Shows and the Blathering Class will not know what hit them!
Committed conservatives will vote for Fred (or Hunter). Those who are only occasionally conservative or conservative out of convenience will vote for one of the RINOs because their commitment to conservative ideals is only skin deep. U.S. Army Retired |
Exactly. Fred has an exceptionally strong team, and his endorsements are solid, solid, solid. While never wavering in my support for Fred, I have to admit the past couple of months were a bit depressing. For the past two weeks, however, I've been getting more and more excited. Fred is going to be strong in Iowa. I don't know if he'll win it outright, but he will definitely make the solid 3rd-place showing that it has been said he needs to stay afloat. I will not be surprised to see him place a strong 2nd, displacing Romney - probably through soft-support votes coming back home from Huckabee.
Was at 253k+ last time I checked....and still rising.
Well, I’m certainly wity you on this! Let it be so! We should know that when the MSM starts chanting their usual mantras, it’s not based on anything solid, it’s what they’re trying to twist to fit their agendas.
Not to brag, but I noticed FDT years ago, and wished he'd run for President, and was one of the first on the Fredmobile when the rumblings began that he'd be entering the race.
/humility
He now has the full support of Flip Wilson!
If I think about it, I sensed it eons ago to but it faded.
Remember when he gave the response to Clinton for the State of the Union Speech in the 94'-96' timeframe siting sideways on the desk?
We could have had Fred instead of Dole.....
ROTFLMFAO!
Now That’s funny right there!
Ah, the agony of regret....
Ah, the agony of regret....
The regret should be with the blue-hair patriarch's of the GOP that thrust him upon us.
The goal has been met and is still climbing! :^)
The last time I gave money to a candidate was 1976 to Ronald Reagan. He was running against Gerald Ford and losing badly in the early primaries. He bought some national airtime to talk to the American people about his vision for the country. I was sold and sent him a check (I was only 15 at the time.)
I made my second contribution last night to Fred Thompson.
Gary is a great addition to the team!
Most excellent!
Go FRed Go!
No kidding. This is great. For those naysayers out there claiming he has no organization, I say bull. He has some of the best Iowa connections one could have!
There are many of us who highly respect Bill, more than most other Republicans in the state.
Stack them up and Fred’s organization network in Iowa is excellent.
It is also good to see the fund raising goal for Fred is almost reached!
He did make it. Now I can’t wait until the next fundraiser. He should probably do another one in the next month or two.
Thanks, PackerBronco—for both donations!
I made my first ever political donation yesterday. It wasn’t much but it was for Fred!
WooHoo!
What a great way to make a first donation. A conservative and we must have a say as conservatives in this election. Fred is our best chance to win!
He now has the full support of Flip Wilson!
Yes! Fred’s goal was 248,846 and now the total raised is at $257,944 and still climbing! This is great as he will still need funds after Iowa to continue on to Wyoming for the 5th and New Hampshire for January 8th. GO FRED!
Where is Huck? He must have gone home from work and no longer have the time to post his downer comments on every Fred thread.
Oh, well, I won’t miss him.
“I made my first ever political donation yesterday. It wasn’t much but it was for Fred!”
Great! Always remember that every little bit helps. My donations have not been large either, but I will continue to give what I can. GO FRED! :)
You are right that every little bit helps.
We must have a conservative in office and the only top tier candidate that is even remotely pallatable is Fred.
Go FRed Go!
So, what exactly is up Coulter's butt anyway about Fred? At least she could've said
something that had substance to it. Anyone else know?
MaxMax
She seems to be holding a grudge against FRed for voting his conscience on the Clinton impeachment, no on one charge, yes on the other.
“Ok, I want to know what Coulters problem with Thompson is. I heard her today on the Hannity/Giuliani show saying that Fred isn’t a good candidate because he’s from Tennessee? And that because Fred served in TN he won that office in a state thats already conservative, so he doesn’t count. Fred doesn’t count because he didn’t win a much harder state like Iowa, and another I don’t recall. So, what exactly is up Coulter’s butt anyway about Fred? At least she could’ve said something that had substance to it. Anyone else know?”
I am now listening to the show here on radio since I did not listen on line. Ann is to come up in about an hour. Will listen, but do know that Ann was for Duncan Hunter. Why she would say what you said she said is crazy. Ann should know that Fred won Gore’s senate seat in a landslide. She just didn’t have her facts straight. Maybe when Duncan Hunter drops out and endorses Fred, she will join us Fred supporters. GO FRED!
Very cool indeed.
You heard it right. She has done nothing but trash FRed for months. I lost what little respect I still had for her.
Do you feel that VICTORY in the air? It’s beginning to wave through Iowa. Do you feel it?
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (’arming the People to disarm criminals and making available to the general populace superior weaponry to deal with domestic terrorists where ever and whenever they may be found) – INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (giving those brave men and women a Commander in Chief to be proud of) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s, don’t employ illegal’s, don’t rent to illegal’s, don’t extend credit to illegal’s, don’t give illegal’s rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by illegal’s and deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with laws currently on the books) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (enough is enough) – CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (those who will interpret the law, not create rights that do not exist) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (nominate superior Constitutional Justices to overturn Roe vs Wade) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (reform a broken program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations, with the added benefit of private savings accounts) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool DemocRATS put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!
That's funny, I was a Forbes man in '96 (and 2000)!
Ann needs to go buy a few double cheeseburgers and read some political history about the southern states while she eats.
She would find that most of the southern states were RAT controlled not long ago.
More good news for Fred! Got my Fred gear today book and shirt. Wearing the FRED shirt proudly. God Fred!
As much as many on FR like Ann Coulter, the fact remains that she is mainstreamed, which means she will sooner or later toe the line laid out by the MSM and the punditocracy. Her support of Hunter is a bone thrown to the base - because she knows Hunter will never win, and hence isn't a threat to the MSM's anointed. Her second choice of Myth Romney is all about MSM/punditocracy respectability.
