Seems to me thats what we've done before and we all see the mess thats gotten us into. We've got to pick a person that is going to restore this country back to the will of the people not big business and their personal agenda. Don’t jump on some band wagon just because it seems the easiest path to victory or because its popular. We still have yet to hear much about how Mr. Thompson will do things if elected. At least Mr. Hunter and others are out there expressing ideas. There is plenty of time to make a choice and even change your minds. We should not criticize each other just because of disagreements on potential candidates. Remember the radical rats and some bad republicans are the enemy.

You may be right, but I haven't really heard much of what they might be other than that they are generally conservative and that he is against illegal immigration.

But your implication that Fred Thompson is NOT out there expressing ideas is so entirely wrongheaded that I can't imagine where such a notion could come from. Fred's support stems directly from the fact that he HAS been out there expressing ideas, on almost every subject of interest to Americans.

Fred Thompson expresses many ideas. Most of us support him because of those ideas he expresses and how he is able to express them. The more we hear from him, the more he matches what we want in a candidate.

I just want a candidate that understands national security and not only wants our borders secured and our current immigration laws enforced, but actually gets WHY we are opposed to shamnesty and isn't afraid to say it.

I want a candidate that understands the second amendment and not only understands the importance of appointing conservative judges to stop judicial tyranny, but also understands how precious life is.

I want a candidate that won't pander to European socialists and is willing to tell the Mexican government how things are, as well as being willing to actually say how useless the UN is.

I also feel it is extremely important to nominate a candidate that can articulate conservatism in a way that everyone can understand, to counter the demagoguery of the left. I like a candidate who can explain why tax cuts are good for our economy and can show man-made global warming for the joke that it is. It would be refreshing to see a candidate explain why we should back Israel and make damn sure Iran never gets a nuke.

Wouldn't it be great to have a candidate that see's CAIR for what it is? Even better to have a candidate that calls out Democrats for being the defeatist losers that they are.

While we're dreaming the impossible dream and looking for this perfect candidate, I'd also like to throw in that I would love to nominate a candidate who can use the new media to his advantage and get around old media liberal bias.

I don't know where we'd ever find such a candidate, but if we can find him, we'll do well in 2008. :)
