Senator Fred Thompson Praises Senator McCains Vice Presidential Pick
(Nashville) U.S. Senator Fred Thompson issued the following statement:
"I am absolutely delighted by this selection. Once again, John McCain has shown that he is an independent thinker who paints in bold strokes. Sarah Palin is a conservative reformer with executive experience who will bring a breath of fresh air to Washington. She will be an ideal running mate for John McCain, and will make a major contribution to our country's future."

Good for Fred! He’s such a gentleman. I just wish we were looking at the team of Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin, but it didn’t happen. Ah, well.

Unfortunately, I’m at the same place you are. Not knowing her stance on illegal immigration means I have moved no closer towards voting for M. The fact that she is so far removed from the issue could mean she has no perspective on it and will just go along with whatever he wants.

This is soooooooo great!
Watching her talk today, I was very impressed by how she spoke--I never even noticed her glance at notes, or anything. She seemed to be speaking straight from the heart, and didn't have to rely on a written speech, that I could tell.
Of course her conservative views were almost overwhelming after what we have had to listen to for way to long.
Like others here, I'm now pumped about this election. And by the way--ole McCain really put the ice on the Dims blathering, contrived convention, didn't he!

Fred is so cool. I hope he gets a cabinet position.
McCain/Palin is going to beat the pants off that cheese-eating surrender monkey Obama.

I agree. I just watched her speech, and Im really impressed. I think we might have a new Reagan Thatcher in the making.
To: Jim Robinson
She delivered a flawless acceptance speech. It seemed extemporaneous, which is really hard to do.
She has a media background to go along with small business, mayoral, gubernatorial, and MATERNAL executive experience.
After watching a few MSM channels, Im amazed at how much the media dislikes women. B. Husseins camp, the same that rejected a woman, Hillary, and a camp that believes women should be in burkhas, because thats Obamas islamic background coming out, has IMMEDIATELY attacked Palin, a clearly qualified woman.
The TRUTH is that Obama has zero executive experience and very little higher level experience at all. This woman has been a Governor and a mayor, all while being a mom, running a family, and being part of a family business.
The last I checked the 200 mile international sea treaty boundaries mean that Alaska, Russia, and Canada share issues involving international fishing. (Add Japan into that for good measure.)
Any governorship is significant. It is an executive position, and Id be cautious attacking this woman if I were the dems.
I think she hit a home run with her acceptance speech. Shes a very, very good public speaker. I could feel the dems shaking in their boots

Lest we miss the point in the hoopla, Sarah Palin will be the First Female President--in 2012--if McCain/Palin wins in '08. She has what it takes, from this poster's perspective. Palin's values are one of the biggest threats to democrat empowerment that has ever arisen from the Republican camp ... Sarah bringing Trig into this world and being thankful for him is only the start of the democrat insideous bitterness. And the sycophantic media whoredom will do everything they can to hide that bitterness, just as we at FR will be doing all we can to expose it.
The next two months will be an opportunity to promote American values that Freerepublic was conceived for, if I don't miss my guess about you, Jim. Thank you for FreeRepublic.com.

If it wasn't for those democrat/independent primary crossover voters it would have been Thompson/Palin. Republicans better fix that before the next primary.
