I agree with the premise of this article.

That said, the Republican party has lost a lot of credibility over the past 10 years or so.

The party of fiscal responsiblity?

They abandoned that quite awhile ago and now voters don’t trust the Republicans to carry through their policies.

Adding to the party’s woes is the guilt-by-association with the Bush administration - an administration that is approaching Carter’s in terms of overall incompetence.

Given the times we live, we need a Republican (or anybody but a Democrat) in the White House now more than ever. Nevertheless, the Republican party may very well hand the keys to the mansion over to a Democrat (voters voting them out), much to the detriment of our country

FR is always ahead of the curve. FDT is the one.

I don’t think that even FR polls reflect the amount of support for Fred that is out there. The people that support a candidate because he’s “good enough” or “not bad” won’t be the ones that turn out for primaries and caucuses. We shall see but my instincts are pretty good on these things.

Yeah, I have similar inclinations. Fred seems to be the obvious choice for just about any Republican/Conservative.

I think so many in the Republican “establishment” jumped on the Rudy wagon because they feared Hillary. Now, she seems vulnerable and Rudy seems like...Rudy. But, they have to disengage from Rudy and move to Fred.

Huckamania is a fabrication of the MSM and the Democrats. They would LOVE to face a guy named Huckabee.

I hope you’re right. Huckabee is a very depressing prospect.

FRED’s been on issues since the beginning. The MSM just did not want to cover those particula issues!

FRED THOMPSON - PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (true consistent Conservative Federalist and Pro-Life) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamicfacists, including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arming the People and disarming criminals) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, it’s called attrition, and deport those who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt the next generation) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!

I think it's very telling that the debate mod didn't want to discuss Iraq or illegal immigration.

Very telling...

I think it was part of the dems strategy. They sure as hell don’t want to talk about it. If FRED gets into the position to let people know what his proposals are, they will dump Huckelberry like a hot potato!
