Why Fred Thompson in 2008? part 1
Posted by: Tim in issues, organization, General DiscussionHow will the 2008 election affect our daily lives?
Does it really make a difference?
How much difference can the President really make in the way we live?
Let me start by stating that I won’t even speculate how the eventual Democrat candidate could change our lives. We are all aware of their priority issues, the usual special interest groups, the fringe factions that now dictate policy, and their general approach of Big Government solutions to every perceived problem. I won’t even mention the Democrat candidates. You already know them, … or you think you do.
Let’s try to maintain a positive approach, and not even visit the potential “Dark Side.” I will leave it to your imagination and speculation what may lurk in the future with a potential Democrat victory with control of the Oval Office and both houses of Congress. Let’s concentrate on the benefits of a Fred Thompson Presidency.
First, to begin on a positive note, I must say that each of the Republican candidates has qualities that I consider admirable. I believe they are, for the most part, honest and basically good people. Several I could even actively support if Fred Thompson were not available. Any would be preferable to the Democrat alternatives. (Sorry, that was a borderline negative comment.)
The bottom line is that none of these candidates have shown a consistent conservative approach to all of the issues across the board - except for Fred. Fred Thompson has been consistently conservative because that is who he is. My father always used to say that “if you are going to lie, you better have one hell of a memory. It is much easier to know the truth than it is to remember your last lie.”
Fred Thompson knows the truth about conservatism, because he has lived it for over forty years. He has always been a strong advocate for smaller government and the principles of Federalism. He believes in the fundamentals set forth in our Constitution, and does not believe that appointed judges should make legislative decisions. Fred Thompson is proud of conservative principles, and he will not waver on his deeply held beliefs.
Read Fred Thompson’s opinions on the major issues of the day and you will understand his thoughtful, consistently conservative thinking. Fred on the Issues.
Fred Thompson is the only Republican candidate that can defeat the ultimate Democrat nominee. He has the ability to articulate and defend conservative philosophy in a way that is easily understood by all. He explains his views in a way that is logical and non threatening. He has the ability to win over the “moderates” and the old “Reagan Democrats” without compromising his ideals. Conservative values are winning values if presented in an honest, consistent, and unapologetic manner.

Why do YOU support Fred Thompson?

I support Fred Thompson because he is a true conservative. He maintains the conservative ideals of smaller, less intrusive Federal government, lower taxes, and strong defense. Thompson also holds the belief that states should have the ultimate say in how they govern, and that the Constitution should not be left up to interpretation by leftist-leaning, activist judges.
Thompson does not let skirting of the law by either party go unchecked. He not only holds Democrats to a high standard, but his own party as well. When you’ve honked off a few Republicans, you must be doing something right. I think this is what we need in Washington D.C. Politicians have become all too complacent, and have no problem maintaining the status quo. Under the current system, nothing gets done. Politicians are too busy stroking each other egos, and patting one another on the back. This type of behavior, inability and ineffectiveness spells trouble for only one group of people in this great nation. It is trouble for those of us who are the hard-working, tax-paying American citizens.
Thompson is a straight shooter. While he may not be the exact Ronald Reagan incarnate some are hoping for, he is the one candidate that can bridge the divide. He can appeal to both Republican conservatives, and those “Dixiecrats” who tend to fall out of step with the far left of the Democratic Party. He not only has the ability to mix it up with the Washington D.C. crowd, but he is able to relate his message and views to us here in Middle America.
And that my fellow friends of Fred, is why Fred’s time is now.
