A few weeks ago, Fred Thompson exited the race for President. In the wake of that decision, the FredHeads and the members of DraftFredThompson.com engaged in a whole lot of soul-searching and vigorous discussion as to what to do next. Fred's candidacy may have come to an end, but our faith in the principles that originally drew us to Fred was as strong as ever.
The product of that soul-searching and vigorous discussion is Conservatives for the Advancement of the Reagan Coalition, a new organization formed to advance the key conservative principles articulated by men like Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Fred Thompson.
Of course, there are plenty of places on the 'net to discuss Reaganite principles. While we'll certainly continue to do that, we will at the same time be moving forward with our plan to pound the pavement and raise the funds to ELECT candidates who share our principles and DEFEAT candidates who don't. If you share our faith in those principles, and have an interest in working to get them put into practice, we invite you to JOIN US.

Goldwater? He was an icon in his day, but he completely rejected the “social conservative” leg of the conservative stool. He was a raving pro-abort by the end. I would leave his name out of these things.

Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Fred ThompsonY'all can vilify me all you want to, but I don't think Fred's name quite belongs in that sentence.
P.S. Fred endorsed McCain.

He was also raving anti-gunowner near the end. I agree that we should leave his name out of it.

P.S. Fred endorsed McCain.Fred endorsed the presumptive nominee, in a bid for Party unity, exactly as Romney had done. Fred didn't say a thing supporting McCain, until the primaries had reached a point where his nomination was fairly certain.

>>>>>Of course, there are plenty of places on the 'net to discuss Reaganite principles. Yes there are. Just so happens Free Republic remains the best place to advance the agenda of the conservative movement. That is my opinion, bias as it may be.

I'm afraid he did. See for yourself. It went down over February 8th or 9th.
