Who is Jack Kingston?
The catch of the day was King, from Iowa.

warned the country is "one successful terrorist plan away from nuclear attack." Make that one successful expired visa or border crossing by a terrorist.

I would be happy to vote for Thompson. Duncan Hunter is still my first choice, but Fred is my second. However, this stuff:
Fred Thompson returned to Iowa with a re-invigorated pitch
Really bothers me. It seems like every 2-3 weeks, Fred's campaign is re-invigorated and really "picks up steam". I've been seeing these hopeful stories ever since August. But I have never detected energy or enthusiasm from the Thompson team. I think he's trudging toward the finish line, while others are sprinting. Saying he's "re-invigorated" and actually being re-invigorated are two different things.

Thompson -- who will spend 15 days in Iowa leading up to the Jan. 3 caucuses -- warned the country is "one successful terrorist plan away from nuclear attack."
Barely pausing to clear his throat, the former Tennessee Senator boomed, "it's not time for on-the-job training," a familiar jab on this year's campaign trail. Thompson believes he has the leadership skills to lead the country in national security issues.
Did Fred take this opportunity to mention that he was Chairman of the International Security Advisory Board for the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the State Department? Seems like a good time to mention it. Did he talk about the sort of issues he dealt with there or the projects he was involved in
He's not going to gain any traction until he he starts making these sorts of credentials front and center.
People are looking for a conservative alternative to Rudy Giuliani, but only if that person can first be equally as credible on the issue of terrorism and national security.
If Fred is able to figure that out in time, then he will be the nominee. If he doesn't or if he waits too long, then he will not.

Fred has to first be invigorated before he can be re-invigorated...

Fred Thompson returned to Iowa with a re-invigorated pitch That's MSM editorializing in a supposed "news" piece.
MSM lies.
All the time.
About everything.
Even when they slip and say something true, it's not the whole truth.

Why is it that the Freepers who never trust what the MSM has to say about anything are the same ones who believe everythng that the MSM has to say about Fred being lazy, needing to get some fire, blah, blah, blah? I bet that half of those complaining haven’t been to one of Fred’s campaign stops and haven’t met him in person. If they had, they’d see that Fred is the right man for the job.

"How are you going to stand up to the leaders of Iran and North Korea if you can't stand up to an overbearing moderator?"This is why Romney lost it on Sunday. His failure to tell Russert to stuff it and allowed twenty minutes of Mormon bashing for which he went on the defensive and pandered with sickening obfuscation. Plus it appears he told a couple of whoppers.

The pattern seems to be that whenever the MSM says something which tends to reinforce an individual's personal opinions or prejudices, the individual believes it totally.
After having noticed this in others, I try to make a conscious effort to be doubly suspicious when I find myself agreeing with MSM.

Thompson is in fourth place in Iowa and having a hard time cracking 2% in New Hampshire.
