Thompson Blogburst Set For the 27th
Rick Moran of Rightwing Nuthouse is organizing a blogburst to help Fred Thompson raise money for a TV ad. As an unabashed Fred supporter, I proudly gave this afternoon.
I’m encouraging my readers to do the same because Fred Thompson is the gold standard of conservatism. Fred’s federalist views haven’t wavered since he read Barry Goldwater’s “Conscience of a Conservative.”
Still need more reasons to support Fred? Fred a 100% pro life voting record in the US Senate. He’s the man who successfully shepherded John Roberts through the confirmation process, though I’ll go out on a limb and predict he might’ve eaked it out anyway.
If you want more reasons to support Fred, you’re in luck because I’ve got a thousand more reasons. While chairing the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, Fred co-authored a list of over 1,000 programs that either wasted taxpayers’ money, overlapped each other or both. Fred wants to finish the job as president.
Fred’s also put together a plan to reform entitlements, something that the other candidates didn’t bother doing.
Still need more reasons to support Fred? Ok. Get ready for a lengthy post. Fred wants to shut down the border. His way of dealing with illegal immigration is to say that “America needs tall fences and wide gates.” I wholeheartedly agree. That’s exactly what we need.
Still need more reasons to support Fred? How about his unwavering support for President Bush’s tax cuts? Unlike some candidates who shall remain nameless, Fred entusiastically supported them, not like someone who voted against them (McCain) or who wouldn’t publicly endorse them (Romney).
As he proved during the Des Moines Register debate, Fred Thompson is the leader who wouldn’t play the Schoolmarm’s silly handraising game. He essentially said that if a question was worth asking, then it was appropriate to let people give a real answer, not play the pander game. (After all, they called that event a debate.)
If you want the GOP to nominate a man who will give us someone to get excited about, then it’s imperative that we get behind Fred Thompson with our blogs and with our wallets.
If we want someone that connects with mainstreet Americans, then it’s imperative to support Fred Thompson through this blogburst and with our checkbooks.
Finally, there’s one simple question that must be asked: What kind of America do you want to see four years, eight years from now? The America I want to be living in is best created by having someone with Fred Thompson’s gravitas and common sense in the White House.
