Former Senator Fred Thompson is the only major candidate that gets it. He makes decisions based on principles. Principles dont change. You have to stand for something and not change who you are based on the polls. That is what Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have done and all of the Democrats do it. Give me a leader that will stand by his principles anyday versus someone that stands for everything.
I know many, many Republicans that will stay home if Rudy Giuliani is the candidate. He does not represent our values as Conservatives, and never will. Mitt Romney is a RINO (though seemingly a very nice man) that simply has everything else and nothing to do. I guess Ill just try to buy the presidency. Conservatives will simply stay home and the Democrats will pick up additional seats in the House and probably get the 60 seats in the Senate they need to completely destroy our Country. Nice picture huh?
However, I think Fred can bring America back together, if thats even possible. America needs a rebirth of patriotism and honor. Republicans also need a rebirth. President Reagan was our last rebirth and he can never be duplicated. Fred Thompson will bring his own down-to-earth common sense to this Country and strength back to our party. A little of the good old days of faith and family would do well for this Country. If a Conservative runs as a Conservative, he will win!
Think of it this way: Eight years of another Clinton White House? Now if that is not a sufficient enough reason to pull together as a party, as a Country, and fight this socialist liberal takeover of our government, what is? It is not impossible to take back the House and the Senate. We are winning in Iraqthey know it. The best they can do now is stop our progress and choose defeat, just like they did during Vietnam. We lost because Congress chose defeat. History repeats itself when not learned from.
Folks, we are in for the fight of our lives, just as our young men and women are fighting for our freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must fight for our Country right here and now! I truly believe Fred Thompson is the one man who can pull this party and nation back together! Rudy Giuliani will just tear us apart as a party. Liberal is liberal every day of the week.
Really tick off the leftist democrats and contribute to Fred Thompson: https://www.fred08.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=c637caaa-315c-4b4c-9967-08d864cd0791
Great post.
Thompson may have waited too long. Not for lack of popularity or ultimate ability to raise money, but for lack of time to build stronger state-by-state organizations and hone his stumping and debating skills.
Rudy may be the most electable over Hillary but he may be self-destructing with tricks like his wife's phone-call at the NRA convention. What a dolt! Nothing like a man who can spot an opportunity and blow it.
"Give me a leader that will stand by his principles anyday versus someone that stands for everything."
There is one, and you know who he is.
"America needs a rebirth of patriotism and honor. Republicans also need a rebirth."
You could do this now, but you won't.
"I know many, many Republicans that will stay home if Rudy Giuliani is the candidate."
Well, I guess they're not Republicns, then, are they? What are they, really?
"A little of the good old days of faith and family would do well for this Country."
And you think FDT is that type of man? (LOL!)
"The best they can do now is stop our progress and choose defeat, just like they did during Vietnam."
Who is the "they" in your post? If you are refering to the street-hippies, you're sadly mistaken. If you are refering to the most powerful and well-connected members of upper management, then o.k., you're right, but in case you haven't noticed, those folks are still here, and their agenda has not changed one iota. And Fred is one of them.
***************
Well said, 2DV. I have never before donated to a candidate, but have already made two contributions to Fred's campaign.
I too support Fred Thompson for the nomination and am opposed to Giuliani. Will Thompson win? I don't know. Will Giuliani be the nominee? That is a possibility.
There are three things you can count on come the General election though.
1. I will vote. No staying home for me 2. I won't be voting for a Third Party candidate 3. I won't be voting for broom jockey Hillary Clinton
I don't just dislike the Clintons. It goes much deeper than that.
