Thompson completed his answer ignoring the interruption intended to skew the complete thought.

Thompson has already delineated his differences with McCain on illegal immigration, tax cuts, carrying conservative Supreme Court Justices through Senate confirmations, etc.

The results of McCain’s campaing finance reform is baring its cunt as America witnesses the enhanced ease in billionaire and multi-millionaire powerhousing of liberal campaigns and purchasing of liberal candidates.

On the matter of endorsements, journalists and those promoting commentaries feign to provide a level playing field while participating in subterfuge. Politics are obvious.

The foundation of the conservative movement in America built the GOP that in turn freed America of slaves and concubines and terminated Jim Crow by supporting the American civil rights movement. The cause for the conservative movement’s impetus on our day, protecting the Constitution and Bill of Rights from liberal dissolution, is the platform of Fred Thompson. That has yet to be respected by those smitten by liberal charisma, whether it parades in a military uniform or spiritual garb.

Robert Bork chimed in immediately following Fred Thompson. Levin had his own program schedule to keep as did Thompson’s vigorous campaign.

Fred Thompson had to leave the Levin show to address voters at a fundraiser. An earlier commentor left the link to his appearance in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

Fred recalls President Lincoln’s integrity, character, courage, and common sense. Fred sees the silver lining around the nay-sayers’ cloud. Fred remains optimistic with hope for the next generation of Americans that this year voters will choose according to policy/record, not according to deceitful disinformation. Unlike others in the political campaign, Fred has his cards on the table. Fred is willing to sacrifice popularity for what is right because in the end that is always what is best for America, to do what is wise for the long term goal rather than succumb to short term liberal or populist deterents like chasing rabbits down the wrong path.

Fred understands relationships in today’s world. Populism with all of its gloss is the wide path leading us into the liberal socialist state. Now is the time for Republicans to vote for the party’s heart and soul with the moral courage to do the right thing. Ask yourself what the government should be doing in your life and how the government should be involved in your house. If the government should be involved, choose between local and federal the level you want the government officiating in your personal life with your personal income.

He stressed the significance of our military, rebuilding it, thanking them and funding them, appreciating our dependence on them. He said that traditionally our government spent much more on funding the military than the current 4% and bemoaned Clinton’s decimation of our military to 1/3 its previous number. Fred is committed to a 1 million person ground force. He would not change the military branches. He would maintain the clean military honor, and would not persecute those executing the process of duty in battle.

He covered differences between himself and each candidate. His emphasis is not negativism and personal attacks, unlike Huckabee who will not answer a policy question of record properly. Fred Thompson answered questions from the audience regarding the military, housing, inflation, and tax cuts. Regarding housing/economy, he noted the natural course of events with the inflation balloon that usually ebbs back and forth in its own balancing act. Since Bush’s tax cut, we’ve enjoyed 6 years of uninterrupted growth (unusually long without a bump) and the downturn is only normal, not to panic and over react but to use a cushion landing that will not reward irresponsible speculative investments, to not encourage bad behavior that is bound to return. He said conditions as yet are not determined, but he could support a stimulous pkg. for tax cut but tailored to get into the consumer pocket, that rebates help but to reconsider the appreciation schedule. But he said conditions as yet are not determined. Regarding the 2010 expiration date of the Bush tax cuts, he would preserve them. He spoke of eliminating the Death Tax, noting that as set @2009 0% New Year’s Eve, to be 50% 1-1-10 New Years Day. He would provide an alternative short flat tax leaving the choice to the individual or couple who may prefer the current tax method. Fred’s flat tax would benefit most people the best. Fred would also not run off corporate growth investment that allows economic freedom, aligning with Reagan there. He refers people to his Social Security Plan at Fred08.com.

Fred Thompson’s leading statesmanship and party platform deserve respect and American value votes.
