Fred Thompson Blogburst Day
Well today is kinda the unofficial Fred Thompson blogburst day. FDT is trying to raise a simple $248,000 by Friday afternoon in order to implement a new advertisment "Substance."
This should be pretty easy as team Fred has already hit the $80,000 mark (Update: team Thompson is now up to $93K as of 10am - - UPDATE 11:10am: TT is reporting $98,735 raised $150k to go...UPDATE 1:30: TT is reporting $107,583 raised w/$141k to go!...UPDATE 3:45: TT is reporting $118,343 raised). I gave mine today and now you can as well by going HERE or simply filling out the form on the side bar of this blog. It's easy and you don't need to even contribute much in order for it to have an effect. Bob Krum has joined in and donated $200 bucks.
My reasons for supporting Fred are a lot like Krum's. I believe that Reagan set the example for Republican victories by building the three legged stool. Those legs being "defense" conservatives, "economic" conservatives and "social" conservatives. If we nominate a candidate who is weak on one or more of those legs then the Democrats will tear the nominee apart from within.
FDT, in my view, is the only candidate who is not only solid "now" on those legs, but has been consistently solid on those issues. I hope you join me in tossing some support Fred's way today for a continued push into the Hawkeye Cauceye!

Thanks for supporting Fred together will prove the MSM and pundits wrong we don't need no stinking RINOs !!!
FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.
During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.
I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.
Fred Thompson has published his first principles, some of which are mentioned above. In addition to those, he strongly believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, federalism, traditional American values, the rule of law and is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment — all concepts established during the birth of our country and documented in our Constitution.
Again, try to find any candidate who has laid out their plans to “fix” this country. You will find they all speak in vague and abstract terms on their plans.
For those who have heard Fred Thompson speak, you will usually hear him say that the Fred Thompson you see today is the same Fred Thompson you saw yesterday and is the same Fred Thompson you will see tomorrow. He stands by his principles and values and doesn’t shift his positions based on polls or public opinion; in other words, he doesn’t say what the voters want to hear just to get elected, but remains steadfast on his views and convictions.
During his time in the Senate he focused on three areas: to lower taxes, strengthen national security and expose waste in the federal government. Fred Thompson has foreign policy experience, having served as member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Intelligence committees.
As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).
As a member of the Finance Committee, he worked tirelessly to enact three major tax-cut bills. Fred Thompson remains steadfast and even though a person may not agree with all his views and he understands some may disagree with him, you can count on him to be consistent and unwavering.
Don’t be fooled by his laid back approach and what critics call his “laziness.” As a former assistant U.S. attorney, he earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor and he possesses the toughness this country needs in order to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s issues.
I ask that you take a hard look at what this country needs, then take a hard look at all the other candidates’ views, policies, their records and their track record on consistency. Fred Thompson possesses integrity, loyalty, commitment, energy and decisiveness, all traits of an effective leader, and will emerge as the best person to take this country boldly forward.
Please help Fred win in Iowa:

I find it ironic that 'Fred 08' would ask for Grassroot financing, given his Trickle Down theory.
Why not just get ALL your cash from the lobbyists, and trickle out their message.
It would be far more 'Conservative' and more honest.
AND .... sorry anon 11:37. RR is not on the ballot. And since you seem to be stuck in 80s, don't worry - I assure you Boy George will be.
