Going.....going.....GONE. He hits it out of the park.

[A. Morgan]

That’s the right answer!

[A. Morgan]

Bump!

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

So that's what real straight-talk sounds like...

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

With the more I hear, the more I’m liking Fred.

[snippy_about_it]

Excellent answer. Go Fred!!

Common sense conservatism is always right but it is becoming endangered. We need to fight for it if we want it to survive.

Vote for Fred Thompson.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

It’s sad, really. After 20 years, we finally get a candidate - Fred Thompson - who at least approaches the level of a true Constitutionalist (and no, RoPaul doesn’t count), and he can barely break 10% among Republicans. What is wrong with this party???

[RockinRight]

REAL, honest-to-goodness straight talk. Not afraid to bring up sore subjects, but does it in a way that doesn’t make us feel like we’re doomed. Tells the American people why things need to be done. Connects with all wings of the conservative movement.

Gee, what former Republican President does that sound like?

Stark contrast to Huckabee: The Constitution Should Be Amended To Conform To The Word Of God (video included)

I am praying this is the Huckster's "Howard Dean Moment".

Go Fred Go!

[khnyny]

I heard a Christian talk-show host today bashing Fred and promoting Huckabee. They took an interview with Mrs. Thompson and played some of her comments out of context.

His answer was great until the end, when he still said it was government’s job to fund research to solve people’s problems — he simply wanted to be fiscally responsible about doing so.

Not that any other candidates are looking to stop government from trying to solve all our problems — far from it. Just that as the man most connected with limited-government principles and federalism, and the way he started answering, one could hope for a different end.

[Cicero]

That is the CHRISTIAN answer. I’d love to send a copy to all the Catholic bishops, not that they’d understand what he’s talking about. Not to mention all the National Council of Churches hangers-on.

I’m beginning to think that perhaps America is not worthy of him. Shallow, superficial charlatans with dog and pony shows seem to be what the people want.

[AmericanVictory]

The track record for research money placed by government directly or indirectly needs badly to be evaluated. Could we not improve in this area and where is the leadership to direct it?

[azhenfud]

Oooooh! The “establishment” of the “entitled” ain’t gonna like that! They think “The Government” has the sole duty to be a Fixer of all things.

Way to go, Fred!

[Resolute Conservative]

That my friends is the right answer. Take time to read Davy Crockett’s writings on how he got taught about government’s role in charity by some Tennessee frontiersmen.
