Fred Thompson is the only real conservative with any shot at the Republican nomination for President. Yet, the mainstream media continues to ignore him and bloggers are slow to support him.
Lots of people are talking about people talking about Fred, but very few are actually doing the talking about Fred.
What I do gather is usually along the lines of “I agree with Fred on just about every issue, but nobody real knows about him,” or something like “Fred would make a really great President, but nobody is talking about him.”
Well, – TALK ABOUT HIM.
Fred has a consistent conservative record and doesn’t have the liberal past that his counterparts do. The Republicans aren’t going to win if they nominate someone who is a little bit liberal, because on the other side there will be someone who is all the way liberal. You don’t get the swing votes by acting like the other guy. Republicans need to stick to their guns, and their principles.
This morning, I heard Gil Gross say something like “…now all the Republicans are saying talk about me, not the other guy; because it is working for Mike Huckabee.” Again, Thompson has been the model of consistency here and has been doing this from the very beginning. It didn’t take a surging poll rider to get Thompson to do the right thing – he has been doing it from the start.
Fred is a man of conviction and principles. He believes that where one stands, shouldn’t depend on where one is standing. He thinks that people should be allowed to make laws that he disagrees with (i.e. abortion, same-sex marriage) if they have the votes to do so. Thompson has real plans on the issues that are important to Americans – like social security, immigration, the war on terror, and tax reform.

Other politicians want you to buy into the idea that America is broken and you need to elect them in order to fix it. They’re wrong. America isn’t broke – it has just gone astray. The path back to the road isn’t one full of government handouts and entitlements – but rather, through hard work and diligence. Over 225 years ago, our fore fathers fought for freedom and liberty, fought for the idea that government DID NOT do everything, fought for the idea that if the people did for themselves, they would do for the whole. Now, we are giving up on these principles and giving back our freedom. Americans are counting on government to do everything including tell them what they should or should not eat. Fred Thompson believes in America, and believes that America can succeed without the big brother government we are threatening us today.
Right now, we need a President that is willing to draw a line in the sand and back it up. We need a President that is willing to make tough decisions. We need a President that is willing to stand up for what he believes in and stand up for what the American people believe in. That President is Fred Thompson.
