(If you have endorsed Fred and don't see your blog listed please put it in the comment section and I will update)
Some sites made to further along Fred's run for President include Fred Thompson 101, Fred Thompson, Falcons for Fred, Fred Thompson and "The Doctrine of Original Intent", and Ohio 4 Fred
Additionally author David Limbaugh had this to say about Fred today:
I find his lack of “fire in the belly” refreshing. He strikes me as one of the few presidential candidates since Ronald Reagan whose primary motivation is not personal aggrandizement but rather serving and leading the nation in very troubled and dangerous times. I see him as almost being drafted into this project, and his refusal to drool publicly over the prospect of becoming the most powerful man in the world is positively delightful.
He implores him to work harder to get his message out which makes no sense to me. He just put out a 17 minute video to Iowans, he put out the obligatory 30 second ad. He has been campaigning almost non-stop in Iowa for the last few weeks. What else do you want him to do? Suck up to the media to get air time.
Thats not Fred. Thankfully.
Earlier, Mark Levin made some great statements about Fred, albeit, not an official endorsement, like Rush, he said his mind on who he thought was the real Conservative deal.
“Earlier, Mark Levin made some great statements about Fred, albeit, not an official endorsement, like Rush, he said his mind on who he thought was the real Conservative deal.”
I don’t believe Rush came right out and gave Fred his endorsement, he really just belitteled the others as not being true conservatives.
For someone who knows the stakes of this game as well as anyone if not better, I was hoping and kinda surprised that Rush didn’t come right out and give Fred his blessings.
Were you reading my mind? LOL ...I was just looking for this article to post. The comments that follow the article are full of more blogs that support Fred.
Stop the ACLU has some good articles and commentary on Fred as well, todays post is very good.

Thanks for posting this.
I love Mark Levin and Fred Thompson. 2 great conservatives.
Rush has said a couple of times that Thompson is the only real conservative in the top tier.
I see J.C.Watt’s is also supporting Fred.....a lot of Freeper’s recommend Watts as Fred’s Veep, would be an interesting ticket.
That would be very interesting.
Must have been. :-)
Respected leading Conservative and 2006 NV Gubernatorial primary candidate, State Sen. Bob Beers, has also endorsed Fred.
As an aside, I don’t believe that anyone has been talking about the importance of a Pres. having a true-blue conservative for a wife, as Jeri is. Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 have gone astray at times, in part b/c of having liberal wives at their sides, concerned about some phantom “legacy” and world approval. Bob
I’m curious as to why Rush has the Romney section on his website.
Today on his radio show , Rush was busy running interference for Romney , as he took swipes at Romney’s main roadblocks , Huckster and McPain .
He cryptically stated that there was only one Conservative running and I think he meant Thompson , but yet there is the Romney section on his website .
What do you make of it ?
Yes, Jeri is something special. She’ll definitely be our hottest first lady, too (at least since Grover Cleveland’s wife). ;-)
I could only dream of the media blitz that a Thompson/Watts ticket might evoke. Finally, the pubs might be able to break the stranglehold of the dems on the black vote - imagine, a Southern Presidential candidate with a Southern black VP running-mate! Better yet, running against a Northern-carpet-bagger with no experience...
Are you listening, my brothers and sisters? Can I get an AMEN?!?
Amen.
In the stack, Rush has sections for everyone. He also took a swipe at Romney today.
AMEN, Preach It!
He did , what was it ? I must have missed it .
To paraphrase, he was talking about how some governors in North East states talk liberal to the people in their state then magically become conservative when talking to a national audience. Mitt is the only NE Governor we have running.
