This piece does a good job of explaining the inaccurate thoughts and views on Fred’s run for President. Fred is misunderstood and he has the true Conservative views and credentials and is the only true conservative voice running in the GOP today.
Fred On Fire in South Carolina

More than once, pundits or pollsters have said, “Fred just doesn’t have the fire in his belly,” or “have you noticed in debates Fred runs out of things to say before his time has run out?” Perish the thought; a candidate should actually answer a question without qualifiers and get to the point. I am tired of hearing candidates go on for three minutes when they’ve been asked a simple question requiring a “yes or no” answer.
The mainstream media and some cable outlets don’t like Fred. Dick Morris said before Thompson announced that he wouldn’t pass muster because when people realize that he’s not that guy on “Law and Order,” they won’t like him. In Iowa on Caucus Day, George Stephanopoulos and his colleagues across the airwaves counted Fred out. They said that he’d be out that night. Instead of being out, he “got a ticket to the next dance.”
That is Fred Thompson’s message to every Republican primary voter. The Reagan Coalition is not dead, but it is in need of a new leader. The voters are jaded by a Republican Congress who squandered the majority and by an Evangelical President they thought was a Reagan conservative. They are discouraged but they might find what they are looking for in Fred Thompson.

Sorry Pat,
If you want a conservative nominee you need to get behind Governor Romney. Aside from Fred’s unwillingness to apologize for his assault on the 1st amendment by shepparding McCain-Feingold throught the Senate, he is one of only two conservatives in the race. It stinks, but his campaign has been a flop and he is only spreading out the conservative vote by staying in the race. Please thank Fred for being a good American, and start campaigning for Mitt, the man with the most wins, the most votes, and the most delegates. Anything else is pulling for McCain, Huckabee, or Guiliani.
Are you kidding? What about Romney’s flip flops on Abortion, Gun control, border control, illegal immigration and so on…
He only became pro life 2 years ago,when he decided to start a paper trial for running for President. Fred has the endorsement of nearly every major conservative interest group including the National Right to Life. He’ll probably get the NRA endorsement too. Romney also supports national health care. I don’t see much difference between Mitt and Billary. Mitt and the word conservative shouldn’t even be used in the same sentence. He defines a politician saying everything the voter wants to hear. That’s not a true Conservative nor does it show any leadership.
Fred Thompson has admitted that McCain Feingold was a bad choice on his part….
much like Romney admitted that being pro choice, pro gun control, and distancing himself from Reagan were all bad choices on his part.
Look, we can have this debate all day, and I’m fine with that, in the end I will vote for our nominee, but at least get the facts straight in the mean time.
