All we need is a true blue conservative to lead. Hopefully the Gelding Old Party will get a testicles & spine implant and nominate a true blue conservative who will secure both border, enforce the immigration laws, deport ALL illegals and fine employers who hire illegals. Our secruity & sovereignty depend on it.

“...run as a conservative, govern as a conservative, and voters will reward you.”

You’d think nothing could be simpler. I have no patience with ‘politicians’ who do not comprehend this or worse, DO comprehend this and do NOT have the spine to go forward on this principle. The more you think of this, the more you esteem Reagan and President Bush (before he went wobly on Immigration)

“These are not dark days; these are great days -- the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.” ... Winston Churchill

Great words and a timely and wonderful post. To me (and a majority of FReepers - see FR opinion polls and JimRob endorsement), the conservative solution, at this time in our current state of affairs (sorry Duncan), is Fred Thompson.

I posted this thought on another thread:

Maybe if Fred were as handsome as Mitt, he would have run away with this a long time ago?

If this is true, how serious are we about these times?

Wonder why McCain didn’t make the Bush tax cuts permanent? He’s had the chance.

Fred. ‘nuff said.

“On the domestic front, President Bush’s tax cuts, excellent Supreme Court picks, and strong defense of individual gun rights are impressive accomplishments. “

Can someone please explain to me where President Bush made a strong defense of individual gun rights??? I know he let the automatic weapons ban of 94 expire, but I thought I had read somewhere that he would have signed a new bill into law had one come from Congress.
