The candidate that I am looking for has not emerged yet, but if he does, he would possess .
Mitt Romneys energy
Ron Pauls economic policy
Tom Tancredos border control
Rudy Guilianis foreign policy
Fred Thompsons sense of humor
John McCains experience and
Mike Huckabees faith.
The problem is, what I fear we are going to get is .
Fred Thompsons energy
Mike Huckabeess economic policy
John McCains border control
Rudy Guilianis sense of humor
Tom Tancredos experience
Ron Pauls foreign policy and
Mitt Romneys faith.
I guess that’s what we are doing now in the primary season. And I’ll support the Republican nominee even if he is not everything I want in a candidate.
I dont say this for the purpose of insulting you, but this election is quite a serious matter and I expect anyone participating in public debate to be held accountable for their comments.
The only way to conclude Fred Thompson lacks energy is by falling for media lies. The only way to illustrate such a conclusion is with the repetition of clichés and falsehoods. In this instance, objective evidence is your enemy.
If you think Fred Thompson lacks energy, you are not a serious thinker.
One thing we probably know the least about is each candidates faith. In a presidential election, everything a candidate says about himself is, by definition, political rhetoric.
Those who lay their faith on the table to be used as a political tool are more suspect than those who limit the political rhetoric about their faith while protecting it they way I would expect them to do.
And you, my FRiend are looking at the world through Fred colored glasses.
I agree with the OP, and could almost narrow it down more. We need a candidate with Freds ideas, but Mike Huckabees presentation.
I am a WOT voter, so I will be voting for Rudy, with Huckabee being my last choice (the man is not a War time President!!!), but obviously Fred has not lit the GOP nominations by storm.
Anyone could still win, and I will support them all, but Fred is too little, too late in the presentation department. This is not a criticism of the man, but of the candidate.
Thompsons record, his campaign statements and his ability to articulate ideas all demonstrate that he has the substance conservatives have been looking for.
The media has launched a major attack against Fred Thompson because they know he is the only contender who will fight for lower taxes, against terrorism and in favor traditional Christian values.
The too little too late label is nothing but a fraud invented by this media attack.
Fred Thompson is a winner.
Lighten up, Francis.
I can’t lighten up about this.
= Mike Pence!
Although Tom Trancredo is a no match for ANYONE .
But I support you, in your quest for humor, and humor in general.
You’re voting for Rudy!?
You do know this a conservative site?
You left out Duncan Hunter, from both lists.
And I will support the Republican nominee... as long as he is pro-life.
Hunter fits your bill.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1926032/posts
I purposely did not include Duncan Hunter in my list, even though he is my favorite. One reason is because I believe his greatest attribute to be a consistent fidelity to conservative principle, something which all the other candidates lack. The other is because his candidacy will likely end after February 2nd due to a lack of money after the major primaries have been held. I’m holding out hope that this will (finally) be the year a dark horse emerges from the pack of favored Establishment candidates.
