An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
A Copy and Paste
I’ll be perfectly honest, Fred Thompson isn’t taking off like I, and many others, had hoped. I haven’t withdrawn my support, but I’m also not as excited as I once was. Nor, am I particularly excited about any of the other candidates on the Republican side. All of them have some flaws, some, more than others. Well, they’re human, right? If we are looking for a perfect candidate, we are ALWAYS going to be sorely disappointed. Even Reagan wasn’t perfect, contrary to what many on the right would like to believe, although, he was darn close. He was a strong steady leader, which is exactly what we need.
Thompson’s vote for McCain/Feckless Weasel does bother me, but he did admit it was a big mistake on his part. Ok, I can live with that, and if I’m not mistaken, he has said he’d work to reverse the violation of the 1st Amendment. He did split his vote on Clinton’s impeachment. His reasoning was on legalities, and since he’s the lawyer, and I’m not, I can live with that too.
So, I will continue to support Fred, while not sending him $2300.
Fred Thompson – The Only True Conservative’s Choice
I’ve heard the name Duncan Hunter and I’ve heard Tom Tancredo. Trouble with Duncan and Tom is that they don’t have the legs to win. As much as I like both, neither have the ability to first gain the nomination nor do they have the ability to run a general election campaign with a broad enough focus to battle it out with Hillary or Barrack. Sorry Hunter fans, he can not win. Sorry Tancredo fans, he’s too focused on one single issue.
What about the Huck? I say it is dangerous to elect a pastor to the Presidency. As a former Baptist Pastor, Mike’s Achilles Heel will be that he is a pastor. That’s right, it can and WILL be used against him. It is my belief that Huck has gotten a “free-pass†in the press in order to gain prestige in the polls thereby would artificially become a possible nominee. Problem… The anti-Christian left will have a field day with Huck in the general. Doubt me, go look at the daily pos.
Mitt has problems explaining away his flip-flopping past. You can’t be pro-choice, pro-life, pro-choice, then pro-life again and expect it to not bite YOU in the hind quarter. Is there something in the water in Mass where you must flip-flop on the issues?!?
I respect John McCain for what he has done for this country. As a young man he endured that which no-one on either side of the political spectrum has the slightest iota about. For this I respect this man. But he is a political maverick. This is why he cannot gain support among Conservatives.
My man Fred has it all. The only problem with his campaign is that he misconstrued the time involved in solidifying his campaign after his announcement. Changes in his campaign have been a distraction and due to his late entry, he lost his initial edge. This said however, he is the only candidate with a consistent Conservative position on all issues.
