Fred Thompson campaign gets huge boost

Team Fred is calling the endorsement of anti-illegal immigration strongman Rep. Steve King (R-IA) “Fredmentum.”

Read King’s full statement on his endorsement of Fred Thompson here. Here’s Fred Thompson’s response.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, the ice queen (scroll) tries to warm up her image in the middle of a frigid winter in key northern states. The blogosphere reacts.

In a must-read, Jim Hoft provides numerous reminders of La Clinton’s frostiness over the years for those she’s trying to win over with her latest attempt at reinventing herself, something she started doing all the way back in early 2005 in an attempt to lay the groundwork for a presidential run.

My Blue Collar Democrat brother calls Clinton, “the Bag”, and that is as nice as he gets.

The King endorsement is even sweeter, as Romney was leaking to NBC that the endorsement would go to him, and “team Romney” as it was described over at Captain’s Quarters, was “looking bewildered” at the announcement! Something about counting chickens before hatched I imagine!

I can see Steve smiling as broadly at this turn of events as he did handing my list of changes to the Iowa DHS to Gov. Vilsack in front of a crowd in Storm Lake after Shelby Duis died due to DHS neglect.

I like Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson. I strongly believe it will be Romney against Obama in the general election with Romney winning it.

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 am Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). 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 http://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.
