Iowa congressman's probing endorsement of Fred Thompson (Rep. Steve King)
Pam's House Blend ^ | December 23, 2007 | Pam

Posted on 12/23/2007 6:14:26 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Steve King (R-Iowa), in his endorsement of Fred08, reveals quite a bit about his presidential assessment techniques.

The GOP lawmaker says the former Tennessee senator is the only candidate who epitomizes the full spectrum of conservative values. In the past few months Steve King (R-Iowa) has had the opportunity to meet personally with all but one of the GOP presidential hopefuls. He says he carefully evaluated each man on issues he considers important for the future destiny of the United States. "I probed them and tested them on the values that I think are important," King says. After the face-to-face meeting with presidential hopefuls, King decided to endorse Thompson. "Fred Thompson stood alone on those important destiny issues that have to do with our national security, our border security, our national sovereignty -- and [he's] a man that understands the Constitution," commends King. "I found strength at every level with Fred Thompson."

King also believes that "destiny has called" Fred to be the next White House occupant.

It was a good endorsement. I can only take heart that Romney landed Tancredo, and that King had a really hard time deciding between Fred and Mitt, apparently only coming to his final decision at the last minute.

MINUTE MEN of America

NRA of America

 We want to know.....what the hell are you waiting for?

Your endorsements could make the difference in the upcoming elections.  If you haven't noticed, you have the perfect candidate in the race.  The future of stopping illegal immigration and the individuals right to bear arms are at stake.  Failure to give your support to the right person could cost all freedom loving Americans dearly.  Your members want you to endorse a person that will stop illegal immigration and secure our rights to bear arms.  A true conservative is the only choice, no liberal republicans or democrats need apply.

Everyone needs to call NRA headquarters / Minute Men headquarters today and voice our opinions.  I have.

 


"When I am president, I will build a fence."

"My idea of gun control is a good, steady aim."

Gentlemen, there's one hell of a man named Fred Thompson, that in my book is a real American and he needs your help . 

You should be ready to fight to defend the freedoms so many have given their all to protect and defend.  If you think you can sit back and ignore the danger to our nation or if you think you can just ignore it and it'll go away, well mister you're dead wrong.  Oh, and one other thing, these bastards we are fighting don't like you and never will like you.  They just want to kill you and your family for their Allah.  One other thing, some like ...what's his name ..Huckabuster or something like that...think if we will just talk with them we can make them our friends.  What a bunch of horse manure.

Now before it's too late, get up from that comfortable couch , pick up the phone and tell someone on the other end, you're not taking this crap anymore.  Call your state party officials, the NRA,, the Minute Men, or any other conservative group you can think of and tell them to get off their asses.  You want a real conservative for your commander and chief, no pansy ass liberals need apply.   Got it!

Me and some other real men are watching ,so don't screw it up


General George S. Patton Jr., Commanding 

   Get off you asses and get to work for Fred.

Democratic Governor Endorses Mike Huckabee

Instead we have conservatives lining up behind Mike Huckabee because he agrees with them on two issues - gay marriage and abortion - neither of which the president can do much about. And all the while they ignore his liberal history as governor of Arkansas. If Huckabee is a real conservative, explain this: Since he's running in the Republican primaries for president, don't expect Mike Huckabee to be advertising the strong endorsement he just got from Ted Strickland, Ohio's Democratic governor.

It seems Mr. Strickland, who typically racked up a 95% rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action during his 16 years in Congress, has discovered a kindred spirit in Mr. Huckabee. He told the Cincinnati Enquirer last Sunday that Mr. Huckabee is a "combination of conservative views in some ways, but very, almost liberal views in other ways." Mr. Strickland concluded: "Of all the Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee would be my personal choice."

NOW,,, THERE SHOULD BE NOT DOUBT IN YOUR MIND....HUCKABEE IS LOVED BY DEMOCRATS.

God save us if he is actually nominated by the Republican party, or should I say "former" Republican party ..if that actually occurs. 

YOUR CHOICE                           This                         OR                                   This. 

                                                        

NEITHER IS A PRETTY PICTURE

Giuliani  = Liberal

Has our Party gone the way of the dinosaurs?
Have we lost our values?

If we elect a man who supports gay rights and is pro-choice, we can no longer call ourselves conservative.  Have we sunk so low that we would elect a person who dresses in drag?  Marches in gay pride parades?   Giuliani is a liberal running as a conservative.  He's pro-amnesty, pro-gun control, and pro-gay.  He is intelligent and has governed New York City successfully, BUT he is not a true conservative by any measure.  Conservatives wake up?
God help us if we elect a liberal
.

I see you’ve learned how to cut and paste and save. Good job, I give you an “A”.

Now let’s see if you can learn how to actually discuss the topic in a thread, rather than repasting stuff you’ve already posted multiple times.

So true. Fred stands head and shoulders above Rooty, Willard, Huckster and McCain.

Last week, I and then Rush said to be discerning about the candidates. And posting lies is not 'veritas' nor does it show the intent to shed light. It reveals a lot about your inner self.

TRUTH: Fred gave up a great deal of money in ongoing media contracts and his comfortable private life to run. He can go back to other well-paying media jobs if he loses.

Bill Salier, who was Tancredo’s statewide chairman, and no political lightweight, endorses Thompson, as well as Angie Weaver Anderson, who also worked for Tancredo.

I”m pretty sure that State Rep. Clel Baudler of Iowa, who is on the board of NRA is supporting Thompson.

This is uncalled for. We only have two real conservatives in this race. Fred Thompson is one and Duncan Hunter the other. Of the two, Thompson has by far the best chance.

Patton... Hmmmm...

We need someone with photoshop experience.

We need to take one of those "Rove you Magnificent B@$+@&d" photos and substitute "Fred" for "Rove".

If he pulls off what I think he will pull off in the the next few weeks;

"FYMB" will be a new acronym in the conservative lexicon!
