Secondly, like it or not, the idea of Republican Conservatism, from what the vast unwashed public believes, is a major negative right now. I see Fred Thompson as the ONLY candidate/potential candidate who is communicating conservative ideas in a way that is appealing to the masses. Third, out of the entire field, he’s by far the most conservative, ELECTABLE guy out there.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. I have a serious problem with folks who try to tear down the frontrunner in search of furthering some other agenda. I'd like to know who this author wishes to promote.... instead of Fred?

LIMBAUGH: Well, no. How do you triangulate the war? Are there centrists and moderates? This is a bugaboo of mine anyway.

I have gotten so tired over the years. Republicans are the ones that anger me the most about this, talking about how we must move to the center. We must get the great unwashed, the undecideds, the moderates.

I say, screw them. I want people that are passionate. Conservatives win when they are conservative, when they campaign as conservative, and then when they govern as — that’s when they win. They don’t win by moderating and...

I read earlier that he thinks Newt is going to get in in late fall and sweep the primaries.

I think he must be getting old or is on crack.
