Thompson has been right all along

Watching the S.C. debates on FOX last night, I was amazed at how the focus group responded to Thompson's performance. When these people were questioned, they spoke as if Thompson had been a statue all along and came to life. What a bunch of dumbasses, and that goes for all the talking heads who dance to the same tune. Has no one been listening to what he's said and argued during all the other debates? I'm mean, really, do the majority of voters switch back and forth between whichever candidate is getting the latest buzz? or whichever candidate whips out the wittiest line?

I began paying attention to Fred when he first announced his run for the presidency. I, probably like most folks, associated him with the television personality he portrayed for so many years. It's not hard to chalk him up to being the same as D.A. Arthur Branch; and, I'd bet that he never had to do too much acting to slip into character. It wasn't until I went to Fred's website (there's a link here on my page) that I understood that he is the only candidate running on true, conservative principles. (I won't get into his ideas and positions; I'd prefer that you do your own research to answer the questions you have and satisfy your own requirements.) What's more is that he has held these same positions ever since he was a senator from Tennessee. I'll bet you didn't know that he only served two terms because he promised the voters as much. He'd still be in Congress if he'd wanted.


There was a lady sitting in the front row of the focus group, she had long hair and looked like she could fry up a patty melt with the best of 'em. Anyway, she said that Fred was inconsistent. What? I can only assume that she meant he has been inconsistent on his views. What a dipshit. Like I've said, he's held the same principles since his first days in politics. The thing about conservatism is that the methods may evolve and change but the ideas and concepts stay the same. Maybe what she was really saying is that she hasn't taken the time to listen to him before now. I wouldn't be surprised if her daughter was in a beauty pageant not too long ago!

I decided, easily, that I would cast my primary vote for Thompson about two months ago. Since my decision, I've really been able to see the difference between his positions and all the other candidates. Especially McCain and Huckabee. No matter how McCain tries to spin it, his attempts at reaching across the aisle have left-leaning results. Huckabee just looks like a Democrat by comparison. In my book, only Romney and Giuliani compare to Fred; even then, it isn't very close.

Vote for whomever you feel will best represent your own principles and values, by all means. If you think of yourself as a conservative who uses logic, then you may want to take a closer look at Fred Thompson. Until then, who do you have in mind?
