We are looking for someone who is a real conservative, has a high profile and can handle the liberal heat.
The job we have in mind is President of the United States.
Its a risky proposition to lose such a man who has a very important job right now, but might I suggest that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas resign his job.
Here is the man Republicans need to change the dynamics of this sad presidential contest we face.
Look and listen, the principled candidates are going nowhere like Tancredo and Hunter.
The higher profile ones all have liberal skeletons in their closet and the ability to modify conservatism on a dime.
They will run to the middle and govern there, you can be sure.
That includes the long-time Washington lobbyist who refused to vote guilty on the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
Do you know his name? Fred Thompson.
That co-conspirator with John McCain on the McCain-Feingold conservative censorship bill is not a conservative in my book.
I don't like having to tell the truth, but I know that websites like this are constantly flooded by outsiders who promote candidates, not principles like I am trying to do.
So let me continue to say, we need principles badly in this campaign and a way to break out and reach new voters beyond our base.
Hence, a candidate of principle who would shake the Demo plan for a Clinton-Obama ticket.
Wouldn't Justice Clarence Thomas fit that picture perfectly.
I admit we need his vote on the court, but for the sake of a principled presidency that would obviously appoint good replacements to the court, is it a risk we should consider?
So there you have it to consider.
Tried, Tested and Principled.
Clarence Thomas for President.
Huckabee lurks in the wings, too.
The only way practically to stop Giuliani right now would be voting for Romney in early states.
That's not a pleasant set of choices.
Only a high profile candidate can change this outcome.
Hence my suggestion.
God love him and keep him well, Clarence Thomas doesn’t deserve another Liberal lynching.
Hmmm...give up a life time appointment in a very critical position for conservatives, for the “chance” to be elected for a 4 or possibly 8 year office. The man practically didn’t make it to the SC because of a smear campaign.
The man’s suffered enough.
Thomas is a great Supreme Court Justice, but I’m not sure he has the natural charisma or the intensity to make a run for the White House.
Hey, that would be awesome! I’d vote for him.
But I don’t think he wants the job. He’d be insane to.
Come to think of it, that’s pretty much the problem with people who want to be President.
Nice rapid response on that impeachment lie. Keep up the good work.
I can’t let this trash stand there as if it’s true. If we don’t refute it, many here will believe it!
I like Thomas right where he is. Kudos for thinking outside the box, though.
A delightful, and inspirational read.
I hate to break it to you but this is worthless tripe
Excellent, I saw Justice Thomas on 60 Minutes a few weeks back. The man is impressive.
Then exactly what was Ann Coulter saying in her column regarding Thompson and Huckabee.
She wrote: “In 1999, Sen. Fred Thompson joined legal giants like Sens. Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins to vote against removing Bill Clinton from office for perjury.”

I really like this idea. It isn’t practical and he wouldn’t do it, but I do like it!
Evidently.
I am not so sure he would be effective. He is much better on the Supreme Court.
I refer you to Post # 14.
So Ann Coulter is a liar.
It will be interesting to read his take on the nomination process, where he was savaged by democrats.
Funny how the dems point out that the politics of personal distruction is harmful to America; but they perfected it, and continue to do it daily.
