I have been leaning toward Fred. Please don’t hold it agains me that I am a Mormon.
I have absolutely nothing against Mormons or the Mormon religion. I lived in Western Colorado for many years and have many Mormon friends. They are very family oriented with great moral character and values. The fact that Romney is a Mormon is not even a consideration for me or for many of the people here on FreeRepublic. Romney’s stands on abortion are contradictory to Christian values. I know, he said he was wrong, but as little as a few years ago, he pronounced that he would protect a woman’s right to choose. I’m glad he has changed his mind...however, he has changed his mind on way too many issues that are important in this election. What happens if he is elected and changes his mind again? Judicial nominations will be exceedingly important over the next 8 years with the possibility of at least 2 new Justices. Conservatives are finally making progress with the direction of the Supreme Court and we must elect a true, died in the wool, consistent Conservative to continue with this progress.
Socialized medicine will not work in this country...it will destroy this country. If you can’t call it socialized medicine, it is very close! You simply cannot mandate the American people to do what you want them to do. Give them options, get the Federal Government out of the way and let the market bring the prices down.
I am very pleased to hear that you are seriously considering FRED, as he is grounded in his Conservative principles and desire for smaller government. FRED’s federalist foundation is exactly what AMERICA needs in a leader. FRED is without a doubt in my opinion, the finest candidate Conservatives have had in a very long time! I am praying that the rest of the country will ignore the MSM’s choices and look seriously at this very fine man.
FRED THOMPSON (true Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards, include water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm everyone and the criminals will back off) - SECURE THE BORDERS (starve the bastards out and they will go home) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (the program can’t sustain itself) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (choice for the tax payer) - PING!
