We begin by recalling the profound words of Ronald Reagan at the Conservative Political Action Conference Feb. 15, 1975: “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.” We believed that then, and we believe it now. The issue for us -- and for the conservative community -- boils down to which of the candidates is most representative of the fundamental conservative principles we believe in. The answer is Fred Thompson.

This isn’t big.
I sure hope our friends in South Carolina bring Fred to the front. Looks like it may be our last chance for any worthwhile candidate other than Duncan Hunter, who is almost unnoticed by the media. (mainstream or otherwise)
But it is better than a JFKerry endorsement...more to come.
Fred helped himself last night,but I’m afraid Huck and Fred are going to take enough real conservative and liberal Christian votes so as to give our state to McCain with a plurality.A big majority of SC Republicans can’t stand McCain but their votes will be split.
This is McCain’s latest effort to destroy the power of conservative Republicans.
Planned it all along.

Could Fred and Huck make a deal against Mc Cain?
Unless HUCK is a Mc Cain troll to divide christian conservatives
Thompson was more animated than I have ever seen him. That is the good part, but to be honest I was disappointed in him.
Fred Thompson always projected the aura of “Elder-Statesman” to me (Kind of a Ben Franklin-type or any other person of “perceived authority”).
Last night, he came across as weak to me.
Not that his attack was weak, but because he felt the need to attack. (in this case Huckabee)
He is saying “The only way for me to win is to make Huckabee weaker”. By the end of the debate, it was becoming old, because it looked like his entire message was “Huckabee = bad”. He wasted time on Huckabee, when he should have been talking about his own record/position, since up to now nobody had ever heard it (from him). If he had stopped after the first couple of Huckabee attacks, he would have been better, and left Huckabee worse. (NOTE: I say this as a Huckabee supporter)
He did himself no favors, except to enthuse the people that were supporting him anyway.
That’s my opinion; others may differ
One of many to come. This is the time we will all remember as the beginning. Just because a bunch of other fools have been running around the block for months doesn’t mean they started the race. The game begins at the same time it always has; not at the pep rally, but when the clock starts, and this is the kick-off.
It’s a good endorsement but it was over hyped yesterday on this site (surprised?). There were hints of an NRA endorsement or even a Rush endorsement so Human Events seems smaller in comparison. Maybe this isn’t “the big one” that was hinted at and maybe there’s more coming but if this is it, well... like I said, it’s a good endorsement, just not thunderous.
Huck on Morning Joe...said Fred forgot to take his Metamucil.
Huckabee has been passing himself off as something he is not and in the process taking votes that would normally go to Fred. If Fred did not expose Huckabee's statements and former positions no one would.
I thought Fred did great and forced Huckabee to defend his positions and thats part of the game of politics.
Huckabee and McCain give generalities and when confronted on former votes or former statements they tend to have nothing to fall back on but accusations of negative campaigning.
Huckabee and McCain looked bad tonight. Its good for Huck to taste the real fire because if he can't get through Republican attacks how will he withstand the Clinton machine that know him so well.
I also agree with your tagline.
That’s my opinion; others may differ
I beg to differ with you. I was in the audience at the debate last night sitting next to an "undecided" who really wasn't leaning toward Fred and after the debate asked me how she could get more involved in helping to elect Fred. She, among others, sitting near me were totally impressed with Fred.
Wake up sheeple! Huck is Jimmy Carter in republican clothing: well intentioned, but dumb as a stump when it comes to the world outside Arkansas. God help us if Huckabee gets the nomination.
MSNBC is really slamming Fred and calling Huck a Ronald Reagan for how he is handling Fred’s criticism. Maybe voters do not watch the MSM:0)
Huckabee was on Fox & Friends this morning saying that Fred lied about him in his attacks and should have spent more time talking about his own record. I was shocked. Huckabee wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him upside his head.
