Too bad Fred waited until this week to start running for President.

-—”The chance that a secular woman had a possibility of ascending to power in Pakistan drove the more radical Islamic elements in the country to violence,” Thompson said.-—

You can’t get anything past Fred!

FRed is peaking at the right time. He’s going to surprise a lot of doubters. The same ‘he entered late’ was leveled at Reagan and Clinton, and both won.

a clash of civilizations

The World Net Daily got this wrong. Thompson said this is a war betwenn Al Qaeda and Western Civilization. Al Qaeda is no civilization. It's a clash betwenn barbaric nihilism and civilization.

There was no violence at all before Bhutto went back, obviously!

"This is an international war we are engaged in," he emphasized. "Bhutto's assassination is not a law enforcement matter. This is a global conflict, and al-Qaida wants to bring Western civilization to its knees."

Thank God somebody gets it.

Please let it be Fred, please let it be Fred, please let it be Fred.

I like Hunter also, but he's not going to make it. The rest of the candidates, GOP and the Democrats alike, are not cut out for this clash of civilizations.

Flame away, but I think Rudy is the next best major candidate to be able to throw down. I saw his work first hand in NYC and the turnaround was remarkable. That being said, please let it be Fred, please let it be Fred,

Bhutto's assassination is not a law enforcement matter.

In spite of the fact that you get it, Fred, you can be sure that State Dept. will get the FBI right on this, they can assemble a list of Islamofacist radicals that had nothing to do with this so the DemoRats can insist that we leave them alone.

[Bhutto’s assassination is not a law enforcement matter]

I’m glad to hear him make that statement, as much as I admire President Bush, I getting weary of his rhetoric...”They will be brought to justice”.

I can’t remember any world conflict where the goal was to bring the enemy to justice, the goal was to DEFEAT or ANNILIATE them.

Fred is a consistent, committed conservative. As such he has a correct world vision. Something very lacking in some of the other candidates.

Politicians don’t like to see political assassinations and they get their boilerplate out when required to comment.

FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.

During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.

I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.

Fred Thompson has published his first principles, some of which are mentioned above. In addition to those, he strongly believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, federalism, traditional American values, the rule of law and is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment — all concepts established during the birth of our country and documented in our Constitution.

Again, try to find any candidate who has laid out their plans to “fix” this country. You will find they all speak in vague and abstract terms on their plans.

For those who have heard Fred Thompson speak, you will usually hear him say that the Fred Thompson you see today is the same Fred Thompson you saw yesterday and is the same Fred Thompson you will see tomorrow. He stands by his principles and values and doesn’t shift his positions based on polls or public opinion; in other words, he doesn’t say what the voters want to hear just to get elected, but remains steadfast on his views and convictions.

During his time in the Senate he focused on three areas: to lower taxes, strengthen national security and expose waste in the federal government. Fred Thompson has foreign policy experience, having served as member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Intelligence committees.

As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).

As a member of the Finance Committee, he worked tirelessly to enact three major tax-cut bills. Fred Thompson remains steadfast and even though a person may not agree with all his views and he understands some may disagree with him, you can count on him to be consistent and unwavering.

Don’t be fooled by his laid back approach and what critics call his “laziness.” As a former assistant U.S. attorney, he earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor and he possesses the toughness this country needs in order to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s issues.

I ask that you take a hard look at what this country needs, then take a hard look at all the other candidates’ views, policies, their records and their track record on consistency. Fred Thompson possesses integrity, loyalty, commitment, energy and decisiveness, all traits of an effective leader, and will emerge as the best person to take this country boldly forward.

Please help Fred win in Iowa:
