Thanks, pookie.
Is that all? Fred is soooooo lazy../s
Really looking forward to the January 3rd surprise where Fred gets a strong 3rd, 2nd or 1st. It will be a fun day here at FR.
So much for the “No fire in the belly” Main Stream Myth.
FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.
During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.
I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.
Fred Thompson has published his first principles, some of which are mentioned above. In addition to those, he strongly believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, federalism, traditional American values, the rule of law and is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment — all concepts established during the birth of our country and documented in our Constitution.
Again, try to find any candidate who has laid out their plans to “fix” this country. You will find they all speak in vague and abstract terms on their plans.
For those who have heard Fred Thompson speak, you will usually hear him say that the Fred Thompson you see today is the same Fred Thompson you saw yesterday and is the same Fred Thompson you will see tomorrow. He stands by his principles and values and doesn’t shift his positions based on polls or public opinion; in other words, he doesn’t say what the voters want to hear just to get elected, but remains steadfast on his views and convictions.
During his time in the Senate he focused on three areas: to lower taxes, strengthen national security and expose waste in the federal government. Fred Thompson has foreign policy experience, having served as member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Intelligence committees.
As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).
As a member of the Finance Committee, he worked tirelessly to enact three major tax-cut bills. Fred Thompson remains steadfast and even though a person may not agree with all his views and he understands some may disagree with him, you can count on him to be consistent and unwavering.
Don’t be fooled by his laid back approach and what critics call his “laziness.” As a former assistant U.S. attorney, he earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor and he possesses the toughness this country needs in order to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s issues.
I ask that you take a hard look at what this country needs, then take a hard look at all the other candidates’ views, policies, their records and their track record on consistency. Fred Thompson possesses integrity, loyalty, commitment, energy and decisiveness, all traits of an effective leader, and will emerge as the best person to take this country boldly forward.
BINGO !

Thanks for posting this.
And thanks to Rich for writing this.
FRed BUMP!!
Friends of Fred don’t let friends vote for Rino’s.
It is my hope in this long process, that FDT will improve his campaign game and the majority of voters will realize that what you’ve written is indeed what they believe as well. No doubt, the world benefits from the leadership of a strong America and for that, America needs a strong, steady leader. Fred Thompson, like Reagan before him, may very well be exactly the right man for the times.
Bump and thanks!
Really looking forward to the January 3rd surprise where Fred gets a strong 3rd, 2nd or 1st. It will be a fun day here at FR.
He will get at least third. Guiliani and McCain decided to go to New Hampshire to be prepared their. There is really only three candidates that are electable in Iowa and that is Huck, Mitt and Thompson. He is guaranteed third place. Who is going to vote for Guiliani and McCain when it is not a priority for them.
After all the stops you saw in this article, Fred had another stop in Fort Madison, IA., I was there and he was great, he answered questions in detail not programmed sound-bites. He was introduce by an Iowa Rep. Mr. Steve King a bright, straight forward conservative who I wish was our Rep. I was shocked at Fred’s experience, I will vote for him in the caucus.
Thompson/Hunter in 08.
Somebody asked me the other day if I lived in Iowa (which I dont), who would I go to the Caucus and vote for. I thought about it for a moment and said “I would stay home and watch the Orange Bowl”.

That would be a tough one for me since I’m a Hokies fan (as my son went to VA Tech ;-)
