Even conservatives think the presidential campaign of Fred Thompson is all but dead. His well-researched issue solutions such as tax reform have sunk out of sight within days after they were first floated.

The million-member force

Grow the military for a revitalized national defense, that’s what Fred wants–sixty-four brigade combat teams and 50,000 more Marines. A timely idea that sounds good to me.

Go get ’em, Rudy

Posted on November 8, 2007 | Comments Off on Go get ’em, Rudy

Fred ain’t dead, but he’s sure flying under the radar, leaving Rudy to be hammered by the Left–counterproductively, of course:

"…the more vocal, vicious and unfounded the liberal attacks on Mr. Giuliani become, the easier it is for him to make his case to conservative primary voters that they agree on a lot more than they disagree."

Alas, I don’t remember where I got the quote. My bad. Rudy also can string together a complete sentence without stuttering. Something the transcripts of his interviews show that Fred ain’t so good at.

The so-called United Nations

Posted on November 3, 2007 | Comments Off on The so-called United Nations

Better known, increasingly, as the Dictator’s Club: "…the world’s most pretentious, self-serving and corrupt organization…" A one-year-old plea (worth rereading) to take care of Iran’s nuclear reactor because it’s quite clear that the UN will never do a thing about it. Well?

MORE: Not surprisingly, the club wants to take away your right to defend yourself. Afterall, how can a dictator be assured of perpetual reign if his victims have guns in their homes? But Fred Thompson, for one, is fighting back to preserve the Second Amendment.

Fred ain’t dead…

…he’s just in hibernation writing policy papers. Which makes Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s endorsement of Rudy more than a little suspect in the eyes of Texas Republicans. Meanwhile Fred’s going after government waste, always a good theme, given the huge numbers of government haters, never more apparent than today:

"We found $20 billion in waste. It is not getting better. We have computers that do not talk to each other, and departments that cannot pass an audit. Every department needs a top-to-bottom review with a strict cost-benefit analysis applied to every program."

Fred, oh Fred

Posted on October 4, 2007 | Comments Off on Fred, oh Fred

I wouldn’t expect the MSM to report supportively on Fred Thompson, the way they do for their favored Democrats, like Hillarity, everyone’s wicked stepmother. I recall that Reagan’s early campaign was met mainly with skepticism. Most of the news media is not conservative, after all, and considers Republicans to be the folks you call when you want "the other side." But Fred is so low-key so far, it’s almost as if he isn’t there. Rudy seems far abler.
