« Clinton's Let's All Come Together Statement | Main | Clinton Daily Talking Points » "Always" -- A New Fred Thompson Ad Airing Today In South Carolina15 Jan 2008 05:04 am Comments (22)
Fred's ad was wonderful. He is really making a showing in South Carolina. He has been speaking to overflowing crowds. Fred has just raised well over a million dollars in small donations ($10.00 & $25.00) since Thursday. See for yourself at his website Fred08.com Fox news Carl Cameron said last night Fred is getting traction in the national polls. Fred is the true conservative. Tough on illegal immigration, tough on terrorists, wants to make tax cuts permanent, strong second amendment advocate. Fred Thompson, the adult in the crowd, the conservative! 
Little and very much too late. He has already become known as lazy, indifferent, and not much interested: the hallmarks of folks living in South Carolina.
Remember, the McCain Feingold bill was well supported and voted for by Fred, who joked with McCain that it should be called the McCain Feingold Thompson bill... You know, the one that crumpled up free speech and threw it in the trash can? If me and a hundred friends want to go in together and run ads on TV saying who we think you should vote for on election day, now we can't do it. Television is now the 'public square' of old, but we're forbidden to gather and speak there about politics and candidates. Don't forget this about Thompson. He can't make himself go against McCain. They're good old boy buds.

Fred Thompson will drop out on the morning of 6 Feb 2008.
All these negative posters are as tired and cynical as they claim Fred to be. People were saying McCain was dead a few weeks ago. Things can turn on a dime in this race. Go Fred!
An ad fitting for the qualities of the candidate. Is it too late? Is anyone paying attention? The press, when it doesn't ignore him, label Thompson as lazy, indifferent, underwhelming. In a way, this is like Reagan in 1976, when unexpected victory in North Carolina made the race with Ford for the nomination a nip and tuck affair, after a string of Ford victories. The key was to run Reagan as a true conservative. It worked (thanks to Jesse Helms). This ad is direct, simple, appealing -- what voters always say they want -- without flashy production values or negatives on other candidates. I hope is works. John Mc
I'm not going to let the press define any Republican for me cuz the press are Democrats whose aim is the continuous political power of the Democrat party. I prefer to wait for my GOPers to define themselves. Fred is an independent-minded man who's hard-working, does things his own way and at his own time. There is no "too late" in this because there is not a clear leader of the GOP pack. I do know that Huckabee's empty star is fading; he does not seem to understand that he's not running for pastor in chief. Somebody ought to give him a needlepoint of "Render unto Caesar...." Sermon or not, he's not going to win anything else but IA. McCain, he's a RINO who's saving grace is his service to his country and his care for the military. Other than that, I don't trust him. He'd make an excellent Secretary of Defense. Rudy is excellent, in spite of the speed bumps in his personal life. Romney is satisfactory, but definitely not my first choice. He does have the requisite business acumen and organizational experience. He does not seem to grasp public and foreign policy particularly well. If either Huckabee or McCain is the GOP candidate, I'll stay home and yawn on election day. I don't have a tight enough nose clip to go vote for either. Fred first, Rudy second, and Mitt third.
"Dave", looks like you were just proven to be dead wrong: Today Thompson went after McCain, hard. On Taxes, on Immigration, on the border. On the Glenn Beck Shown, on TV on Fox and CNN. BOOM, made a liar out of you. As for "too late"? Dead wrong again. Less than 3% of the delegates have been selected. Iowa with its arcane caucus rules and non-representative (of conservatives) system did what it usually does - go for a religious or populist clown - First Pat Robertson, then Pat Buchanan, now Huckbee join the list of irrelevancies from Iowa. And most of the rest of the delegates priot to SC will have been in "open" primaries (NH, MI), meaning McCain is getting Dem and Indep votes. Not Republican ones. SO they cna hardly call themsleves representative of the Republican party, especially the conservative parts of it. As for McCain-Feingold, need I remind you of a quote from a radio interview last spring in which Thompson basically admitted M-F was a mistake, well intentioned, but failed. ("We should probably scrap it and allow all contributions with a strict reporting") This one has been buried a long time - dont stay "stuck on stupid" by dragging back this same old discredited dead horse. And for "Davild Still" - your slurs on southerners paint you as a bigot; the Ron Paul group is -----> over there.
Still concerned about the mccain-feingold vote. One thing he didn't mention was the preservation of our second amendment rights, without those the rest become rather moot.
Fred Thompson is the mature timber we need for this forest we call America.
Bravo to Ordinary Coloradan! I heard Fred admit his error on McCain-Feingold and his remedy: all contributions with transparency. It is a common-sense fix for McC-F. I have reached the point that those who repeat the "Fred is lazy" narrative are intellectually lazy themselves. I want a conservative. Fred.
"One thing he didn't mention was the preservation of our second amendment rights, without those the rest become rather moot." Yeah, and he didn't mention free speech and he didn't mention freedom of religion and he didn't mention protection from search and seizure and, most tellingly, he didn't mention quartering the King's troops in our homes. If he can't work the entire Constitution into one TV ad, then you're perfectly right not to trust him. Sheesh.
I'm as conservative as they get. But, this guy is a phony and a panderer. Big time.
Fred didn't speak out about prohibition or slavery either. Maybe he could get one of those guys that talk really fast to cover all the issues in a 30 sec commercial?
Fred is the real deal. Forget what the MSM is doing or saying. They want you to put up a candidate that will lose come November. Vote for Fred.
when fred really hits that he has consistently been for closing our borders and stopping the big government give aways he'll be a crossover candidate. Middle america is tired of handing over their paychecks to subsidize illegal aliens, schools and healthcare for illegals. as a nurse it is amazing how many hospitals have been forced into bankruptcy along the borders secondary to the influx

This is a great commercial. I really appreciate how he is so positive. It's not "the others are bad" but "look at my positive conservative record."
That's the right message to win over in the more "genteel" glorious South. It's a real contrast to angry McCain.
