This is too funny to watch the fear in the Rooty McRomneys over Fred’s entry into the race and his ensuing race to the top of the polls. Here’s a secret, Fred was drafted by conservative those of us who were nauseous at the choices we had in the “top tier”.
My prediction back in April was that when Fred came in conservatives in the party would flock to him because he would be the only non-RINO in the race. That’s playing out as we speak and those millions of us who urged him to run after looking at his Senate voting record AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE despite the ramblings of an effete, bowtie wearing east coast scribbler.
Is Fred a “perfect conservative”? No, (nobody is)but he’s head and shoulders above the flip-floppin Mormon and the cross-dressing gun grabber and the wide open borders guy from Arizona.
Fred was begged to enter the race by those of us who didn’t want to have to hold our nose when we entered the voting booth next November. If the movement in the state and national polls less than a week since Fred entered are any indicator, we won’t have to.
Bob Beckel: “Fred Thompson is the Left’s worst nightmare”.
I have to second your opinion. It seems the other three - Rudy, Romney, and McCainiac - were all picked for us by the elite/media. I think guys like Fred and Duncan Hunter scare the elite/media because - more or less- they are real and inspire the grassroots to come out for them.
Well said, Neville72.

You bet he is. I put a Fred bumper-sticker on my SUV this morning.
Fred Thompson is
weak on the border
weak on gay marriage
weak on tort reform
refuses to sign a pledge saying he won’t raise taxes.
I can’t believe how many conservatives have sold out the border wall, a federal marriage amendment, and given this guy carte blache with our taxes.
All for a pretty, sweet-talking voice who looks like grandpa.
What is the appeal? I’m a Tennesseean. I don’t see it.
