I think Fred’s the only one up there (maybe Rudy too?) who could stand his ground against the Dem without breaking a sweat. Oh yes, with Fred as our nominee, WE WIN.
Fred is the only CONSERVATIVE who can win crossover and independent votes (against Hillary and Obama, who have lots of negative baggage even for some Dems and many independents). Believe me, Fred Thompson will be our next President if we can only nominate him.
In the marketplace of ideas, conservatism wins every time it’s tried (Rush, you’ve read from my cue cards before so I am stealing from yours!). Against Barack or Mrs. Clinton in a debate, I think Ol’ Fred would just say “BRING IT.”
I thought Ron Paul did well but his unrealistic view of our role in the world is crazy. He probably would be a great Supreme Court Justice but in his world Saddam owns all of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. North Korea owns South Korea and Taiwan is owned by China.
Mitt placed a respectable 3rd
Huckabee was 4th. His whining about religious questions is tiring since he wears it on his sleeve. His weaseling out of the "wives submit to you husbands" made me like him less. If you believe the Bible and as a former preacher you should, stand up for what you believe, don't qualify Gods word for him.
McCain looked bad for the last 2/3rds of the debate. I loved his line "I know how to secure the borders, I come from a border state that is being overrun" (of course I am paraphrasing).
