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 personally served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan. 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. Fred is still in this race to win!

I am glad the moderator left this thread UP instead of removing it completely because of the DUMBASS that posted it. The second post, Mr. 2nd Div Vet wrote a good report, with which I agree and can attest to. I served under Carter, Reagan AND Bush in the military (and later Clinton and the current President).

Of them all, Reagan was, hands down the BEST and most awesome Commander in Chief we’ve had in my lifetime (that I can remember).

I personally worked for Reagan and Bush at the White House (WHCA) and think they both did a great job. I’ve met Fred Thompson a few times over the years at various functions and he strikes me as having a similar attitude and vision for America as Reagan had. His writing, his little pod casts and radio stuff he’s done shows, without a doubt he’s the right man for the job.

Compared to every, single individual running, it is FRED that should be elected, regardless of “polls” (which are BS) and the MSM (which is BIGGER BS).

I’m not sure if you remember it, but Reagan was attacked for being lazy. It was said by the left and the media that he didn’t put in a full day, and let others make all his decisions. Truth is he put in more than a full day. It was Bill Clinton that only put in a few hours per day, and the press said nothing about it.

Reagan, Bush I, Dole and Bush II have each been talked down in the press as stupid. Carter and Clinton were talked up as the best and brightest our nation could find. Clinton was more or less idolized by the members of the media.

Fred is no more lazy than Reagan, and he’ll run circles around Bubba. And you won’t have to lock up the White House interns to protect them.

Go Fred.

Folks, quite buying into the press’ description of Fred. That ploy is at least 28 years old.
