I could get excited about Fred Thompson, if he continues to be excited about defending conservatism in the Republican party. I would vote for him regardless, if he’s the nominee, and that’s more than I can say for the other candidates, excluding Hunter. I know none of them are perfect-they never are, but this year they’re exceptionally imoerfect, as a group-but Fred Thompson just made it clear, in this clip, that he remembers what many have forgotten. That the Republican party isn’t a loose coalition of special interest groups like the ‘Rat party, that as a party, we traditionally care about the health and well-being of our Republic as the Founders intended it to be.
I totally agree. It is refreshing that he remembers and has a clear internal compass where conservatism is concerned. These other guys may have conservatism in a special mix but they don’t think it and they don’t feel it. How in the hell does a conservative with conservative principles speak so much like John Edwards as does Huckabee? How does a conservative have a Health Care plan that is virtually identical to Hillary’s as does Mitt Romney? I don’t think I need to even talk about Rudy and McCain. Two words Cross Dressing and Gang of 14 are enough I think. I suppose with McCain cross dressing would have been enough also given his seeming desire in the past to dress up in liberal drag.
