I don’t know why this is and I am trying to understand why Fred will not go on the O’Reilly show. Is it just a personality conflict? If so, Fred should put that behind him and get some free publicity and get his message out.

He’s polling somewhere around 2 - 3%.

The newest poll yesterday puts him at 5%. That's a 100% increase each day. At this rate he should be at 40% by Tuesday.

Seriously, though, I saw him at 5% in the last poll, 3 points off Guiliani. I think he should hope to beat Guiliani in NH and, as you say, SC is his do or die.

I really don’t know what his NH polling data shows. I was only going by the poll info they were showing on Fox News while Fred was on live this morning.. He also said he wouldn’t do well and therefore was concentrating on other venues and only in NH for the circus of yesterday and today.

Is there a video available? I missed this one! BOO HOO!

Was FRED - FRED?

FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding!) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (“Individual” rights to protect their homes and property!)

INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (Diplomacy through Strength and verification!)

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 have no right to; report all crimes committed by illegal’s to ICE and immediately deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America!) LAW AND ORDER (Enforcement of our current laws regarding illegal immigration!) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (Enough is enough!)

CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (Great progress has been made on the Supreme Court in Bush’s term. FRED was asked by President Bush to spirit Justice Roberts through the confirmation process. The next President will probably have the opportunity to seat two additional Justices. This is huge folks. FRED will nominate Justices who will interpret the Constitution, not create rights that simply do not exist and legislate from the bench!) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (will strive to nominate superior Justices with the eventual goal of overturning Roe vs Wade)

SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (Social Security is an entitlement program that will soon overtake the budget. The program can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations; FRED has detailed proposals to save Social Security and provide the added benefit of private savings accounts for younger workers!)

DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT OR RINO (Close your eyes and imagine the first debate between FRED THOMPSON and ANY liberal DemocRAT they put up?)

TAX SIMPLIFICATION (Reform and perhaps eliminate the IRS with a variety of choice for the tax payer!)

EDUCATION (Return education to the States. It is that simple. The NEA is the greatest enemy of our educational system!)

WON’T PUT UP WITH TRUTH MANIPULATION FROM THE DB-MSM (including stupid questions by liberal moderators, and “purchased” political pundits)

FRED THOMPSON IS THE “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to set aside his personal life and step up one more time for his Country…and he stepped up!)

THIRD IN IOWA, SECOND IN WYOMING (MSM still calling it a tie with McCain’s name in the lead…FoxNews won’t even mention his name if they can find a way to avoid it!)

I have felt that for some time. Call it the Conservative party.

Thank you...I think FRED was great. He did not put his personal life on hold and uproot his family and postpone his acting career as well as sitting in for Paul Harvey to play their silly games. Questions only about their almighty process, instead of issues of leadership, or firm Conservative credentials. I’m MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. VOTE THOMPSON. Can you imagine the look on the DB MSM face when FRED begins to surge in every primary and every poll. This stupid process is just beginning. We must be patient. No FredHead would expect a Conservative like FRED would poll well in New Hampshire, home of the liberal because of the brave.

PEOPLE, there are serious issues out there that FRED has prepared detailed position papers on. Share them with your friends and neighbors. FRED THOMPSON is the ONLY true Conservative left in this race with a real opportunity to win. What needs to happen now is a coalescence of true Conservatives.

WE THE PEOPLE need to unite behind FRED THOMPSON today!

I think McCain's "candidate of change" crack would have been great for him if he'd delivered it in a more offhand manner. As it was, it sounded like he spent all night coming up with it, much as it seems with most of what passes for wit and personality in John McCain's world. The pause for effect right after he said it allowed for more groans and eye-rolls rather than laughs.

It did have the intended effect on Romney, but, in the end, the exchange hurt both of them.

I think that conservatives need to form a new party cause the Repub is no longer truly conservative.

If Rudy McRomney gets the nomination, that's just what will happen. But it will cost us this election, and many to come. It takes years to build a party to have any viability in national elections.

It will be much easier to take back the GOP from the NE liberals that inhabit the leadership.

To me, that is the seminal issue of this election. If we can't take the party back, we (conservatives) will spend a generation in the wilderness, and the libs will consolidate their hold on power to such a point, it may not be possible to win back our freedoms short of violent measures. I don't want to see it come to that.

This is why we must push back the RINO's and nominate a conservative, our the country is headed for an ugly future, if we have one as a nation at all. Our very survival as a free nation is at stake this year.

Yes, I really do believe this election is that important.

We may have no choice but to do just that, but I believe the country will bear some enormous costs if it happens. See my post 31.
