I was hoping that someone with all the guts and courage that it would take to get my vote would come along. I have a son in Iraq and everytime we show any break down in our government the fighting men of our millitary are more vulnerable. I am stoked as well.

Fred would make me reconsider completely my support of Rudy. Fred is a great man, has shown he can lead and is very comfortable in front of the camera. No recordings of Fred-isms by the left like they do Bush. I think a Thompson ticket would be great.

I like Fred, I hope he gives serious thought to it. There are not too many others that are decent choices in the republican field.

I don't know a lot about Thompson, but the mere fact that he knew real life is outside the Beltway and voluntarily got the heck out of Washington, rather than being defeated in an election and forced out, is enough to make me take a closer look at his candidacy. Any politician who goes home and has to live under the laws (s)he's passed at least has 20/20 hindsight, which is something career politicians never acquire.

Monday Linkage – Run Freddy, Run!

I just get all tingly at the prospect of Fred Thompson entering the 2008 race. Not because I’m positive that he’d be the candidate I’d support, but honestly, is there anyone else in the race on either side who’s persona…

I’d like to see him at the very least stay in the public eye, do the news talk shows, get his face in front of the public, and really expose his positions for all to see. He certainly gives off a good vibe every time I see him, whether he’s acting or talking politics. I don’t think he can be bullied by either media or opposing politicians, and it’ll be interesting to see and hear more of him.

Thompson would be a good candidate. I think with the primaries still so far away, other candidates on both sides could crop up if the public tires of the current crop. I suggested earlier this week that Thompson would be an excellent VP choice were Cheney ever forced to retire due to ill health, and he then could have the power of the office to be the heir apparent. Maybe a bit far-fecthed, but you never know in politics.

Well, he’s certainly enough of a politician to give a non-answer to the questions about the McCain-Feingold Act and a “path to citizenship,” or amnesty-that’s-not-amnesty.

An actor as president? Never! Oh! What about RR. Now RR was talker who sometimes acted. FDT sounds the same. We will see.

Fred has always caught my attention as a man who sincerely believes in and stands for what’s good about America. He’s a man’s man with the guts and determination to do what’s right in spite of leftist media opposition. He can and will can beat them at their own game.

Rudy, John and Mitt can’t come close to Fred when it comes to media saavy. Newt? Hellooo?

Fred can connect with Americans like Ron did. Big time! He fills the huge void that W failed to fill and will be very attractive to the MSM in a way few other conservative candidates can.

W has been and still is my guy, don’t get me wrong. But W seemed to lack the conviction and fortitude to bury the opposition when he had the chance. We must bury the opposition here and abroad. ASAP! Just like Reagan did.

There is no way they can label Fred as stupid and make it stick. They will try and it will destroy any thread of credibility the opposition has with mainstream Americans who take the time to vote.

Fred has the ability to connect, inspire and lead. He is O’Bama with a heart, courage and brain. His record is established. He is like that father who knows best.

I can’t believe he is considering a run!

Damn am I stoked! Finally.

The first thing they’ll do is attack him for being stupid. That’s the standard for the Left. All Conservatives/Republicans running for elective office must be stupid.

I watched Thompson on the TV this morning. I’m hoping he decides to run!
