Of politics and Fred Thompson
Wednesday, 9. January 2008, 03:57:37
I like politics. I really like politics. Quite strange, I know, as most people my age think Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim extremist. 
Though I can't legally vote, I'm captivated by political campaigns and the like. I read the daily polls and watch all the campaign videos. Examining candidates usually saddens me, however, as no one truly carries the common sense conservative principles this country was founded on. This election season, one man has restored my faith in the American people and the political process. That man's name is Fred Dalton Thompson.
Thompson carries a consistent conservative message, one that other candidates can not rightfully claim. He supports federalism, lower taxes, free trade, the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage, and the right to keep and bear arms. He opposes illegal immigration and is skeptical that human activity has caused 'global warming.' His stated positions and his voting record from eight years in the senate match up perfectly - something that doesn't happen very often.
Fred is the only candidate who has outlined specific policies on Social Security (http://www.fred08.com/virtual/socialsecurity.aspx), border control (http://www.fred08.com/virtual/Immigration.aspx), military strengthening (http://www.fred08.com/virtual/defenseplan.aspx), and tax relief (http://www.fred08.com/virtual/taxrelief.aspx). The National Right to Life Committee endorsed Fred because he is the only candidate with a 100% pro-life voting record.
People that don't support Fred claim they like his positions but wish he would be more 'enthusiastic'. Seems like anyone that considers running for the highest office in the land is more than enthusiastic. Walking through snow in 40 degree weather obviously requires enthusiasm and dedication.
So I don't really understand what the problem is. Maybe it's that people are not quite aware of Fred's history and positions? If that's the case, I can only suggest you check out http://www.Fred08.com for all you could ever need.
In the Iowa caucus, Fred finished with a strong third. In Wyoming, Fred was only second to Mitt Romney. With New Hampshire tonight and Michigan and South Carolina soon, it's definitely time to start considering who you will vote for in your primary. Register to vote, know when your primary is, and then GO VOTE (for Fred, of course.) Voting is your duty as an American citizen. Voting for Fred Thompson is your duty as a smart American citizen.
Maybe it's because I can't vote just yet, but I feel it's my duty to somehow share the word about Senator Thompson. Blogging is one way I can do that, so expect the Fred posts to be pouring in over the next couple of months. I'm not going to give up until I convert some people.
