Thompson Adds Three Legislative Endorsements (in Iowa!)
John Deeth Blog ^ | December 28, 2007 | John Deeth

Posted on 12/28/2007 4:18:33 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Fred Thompson has picked up endorsements from three state representatives - Kraig Paulsen of Cedar Rapids, Jeff Kaufmann of Wilton and Jamie Van Fossen of Davenport -- bringing his total to six.

Mitt Romney still has a prohibitive lead with 16, followed by John McCain with eight.

There was another Iowa legislator that endorsed Fred today, I believe. Maybe these state representatives going for Fred are hearing from the grassroots?

I’m back to Fred again.

Mike got my attention for awhile till I looked at the FACTS and saw he was a MAJOR SOCIAL LIBERAL, BIG GOVERNMNET, TAXER and an ILLEGAL SYMPATHIZER to an EXTREME.

This is rather disturbing that Romney has so much support. I can understand voters supporting him, because they probably don’t know any better.

But other politicians?

Of course this goes to show that anyone can be bought if the price is right.

Mr. Deeth missed the announcement about Iowa State Rep. Gary Worthan endorsing Fred, which takes it to at least seven!

Do you feel it? It’s the feeling of victory just over the horizon! Do you feel it?

FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (’arming the People to disarm criminals and making available to the general populace superior weaponry to deal with domestic terrorists where ever and whenever they may be found) – INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (giving those brave men and women a Commander in Chief to be proud of) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s, don’t employ illegal’s, don’t rent to illegal’s, don’t extend credit to illegal’s, don’t give illegal’s rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by illegal’s and deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with laws currently on the books) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (enough is enough) – CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (those who will interpret the law, not create rights that do not exist) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (nominate superior Constitutional Justices to overturn Roe vs Wade) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (reform a broken program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations, with the added benefit of private savings accounts) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool DemocRATS put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!

John Deeth doesn’t have a single CLUE.

Those Legislators had endorsed FDT several months ago.

This is old, but LOVELY, news

Everybody is jocking around for sillyness and polls. Fred is quietly building the team that has the organization. Just take a look at the names of the people that control Iowa’s grassroots and you see them endorsing Fred.

The MSM narrative is finally starting to rub away. They will lose this game and even CBS is acknowledging today along with all the cable outlets. Fred knows what he is doing. The great thing is that there is no pandering, he is right on the issues and knows where the power is at. Fred is getting the support all the other candidates wanted and including those that tried to buy it.

Go FRed Go!

Here is a story about Rep Gary Worthan endorsing FDT today, and a complete list of the Legislative leaders on the FDT Team.

As I said earlier, Deeth doesn’t have a clue.

Not only does Deeth not have a clue, but neither do I.

I bet there are a lot of people were/will be briefly tricked by Jimmah Carter II — aka Huckabee.

They’ll go somewhere, and their natural home is Fred Thompson.
