I’m concerned. I just popped by Fred08.com and the Red Truck is gone from the front page. With the calls for donations not as pronounced on the front page, is the only worthy man in the race actually calling it quits? I hope not. I sincerely hope not.
If Fred decides to [...]

and here are the words of a man worthy of your vote.
“The Founding Fathers had it right from the very beginning,” Thompson said. “The wisdom of the ages, the fact that our basic rights come from God and not from government, the notion that a government big enough and powerful enough to give you anything [...]

Thanks to Maritime Sentry for posting this video of Fred Thompson’s appearance on CNN yesterday. Fred continues to call the media out and rise above the nonsense. He is, by far, the best candidate to lead this country forward.

If you have followed this blog, you have seen a metamorphosis from a man who struggled which of two candidates to support to a man who only believes in one. Those two candidates were Governor Mike Huckabee and Senator Fred Thompson. The later of the two has my utmost support to this day. [...]

It is no secret that Governor Huckabee supports a federal smoking ban… or at least he did. He said so publicly this past August at an event with Lance Armstrong moderated by Chris Matthews. And he gleefully signed legislation in Arkansas banning smoking in indoor spaces. Just read this quote from 2007:

Fred Thompson’s Campaign Manager, Bill Lacy, released this statement following the Michigan Primary. I’m glad he has the guts to articulate what many conservatives are feeling.

Are you like me and scores of other Right-Leaning Americans who were leaning towards one candidate before realizing that Fred Thompson was the only true conservative in the field?

The FoxNews focus group tonight overwhelming thought Fred Thompson won the debate tonight. I agree, but that is about all we agree on. Then many of them went on to question Fred Thompson’s consistency. What? Obviously these people haven’t been paying attention. Hopefully they’ll get a chance to see Senator [...]

As I watched the debate tonight I felt Fred Thompson commanded this debate. He always rises above and seems much more professional than the rest… he was a bit more antagonistic this time than he has in past debates, but obviously that resonated with voters. Apparently voters agree, at least according the FoxNews’ [...]
