FredHeads
Fred Thompson is going on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight to officially announce his candidacy for President. Tomorrow he will have some sort of 15 minute webcast about it, too. This editorial points out a few things. First, apparently Fred’s supporters are being dubbed “Fredheads.” OK, I guess I can live with that. But what’s really exciting is this
Thompson is absolutely pro-life, period, no waffling about it. He is solidly pro-Second Amendment, period, no dithering. He’s a gung-ho war on terror man, a no-nonsense border security man.
Those are four amazingly important issues facing the country, and Fred is solid on all four.
As an aside, I have to say that I don’t like the name “war on terror” since terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. Our enemy is clearly defined: radical Islam. But, since the Bush administration has gone out of their way not to “offend” the ever-touchy Muslims in our midst, everyone is familiar with the term. Regardless, Fred is committed to prosecuting it, so that’s a good thing.
Daniel:
I really want to see Fred win the primary. I bet if he does, he wins the election by a landslide.
September 6, 2007, 12:35:20As a conservative, and a former Republican, I’m getting tired of the watered down Republicanism (it ain’t conservatism anymore) that Karl Rove has brought us.
I want someone who understands and respects the Constitution, who understands and respects the design of the federal government, and the limits that are supposed to be on it.
Please, Republican voters, vote in this real conservative.
