The Republican primary in Colorado will soon be upon us; and even before Iowa and New Hampshire, one thing should be eminently clear: there is only one candidate who throughout his career has been consistently Conservative and who will be able to lead a prosperous America into the second decade of the 21st century. Sen. Fred Thompson is from the mold of Ronald Reagan, a man who will work with Congress to defend all life, to secure our borders, to cut spending and taxes, and who has pledged to improve our defense system, in part by increasing the numbers of those in our armed forces.
It simply does not make sense to spend our time for and send our money to candidates who cannot win in the primary, much less the general election, such as Rep. Tom Tancredo. In Sen. Thompson we will have a President who will do his utmost to close the borders to illegals whose numbers undoubtedly include dangerous members of violent gangs and foreign terrorists. In Sen. Thompson we will have a President who will have enough members of the armed services so that America will be able to meet and repress threats wherever they may occur. Americans will know more safety at home and abroad, our small businesses will thrive because of a smaller tax burden, and because of judicious appointments to the federal bench, the threats to our unborn children will steadily decrease. For any Conservative elector, there simply is no intelligent alternative to Sen. Thompson.

Well, put Mary Anne. Thompson is the ONLY true conservative among the top five. Here's hoping he does well in Iowa so the press will have to pay more attention to him! We have to control the illegal immigration and Fred's the man..

Anytime you put Tancredo in the same sentence with Thompson I have a problem seeing how the improbable actor is electable.

Fred Thompson’s old friend Philip Martin, with a couple of convictions for drug dealing in his past, has resigned from Thompson’s presidential campaign, in which he served as one of four founding finance chairmen. Thompson will no longer fly around on Martin’s plane, as he’s done throughout the year. In addition to his drug dealer past, Thompson’s old friend was trailed from state to state by a string of lawsuits by unhappy investors and business associates, as well as massive tax liens.

Earl:
have you thought of campaigning for Thompson? I'm sure that when people listen to you they won't be able to help themselves and will rush out to vote for Fred!

He was a worthless do-nothing Senator. Why does anyone think he would do better as a President?
