How 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.

If you missed Fred Thompson on Jay Leno last night, you can catch the interview right here.

The clip is posted under the Video section, of course.

This was a great interview, with discussion of topics from Iran to FredHeads. Jay seemed very positive, and the audience obviously liked what they heard.
